'Entangled with...' is a podcast about quantum technologies, created and hosted by PhD students from the University of Bristol's Quantum Engineering Centre for Doctoral Training. We will be interviewing experts from academia and industry to provide a wide range of perspectives on various topics within quantum engineering. We hope to make the exciting and rapidly developing field of quantum tech accessible to all of those who might be interested.

...Jorge Barreto (University of Bristol), Photonics research and directing the "Quantum Engineering CDT" at Bristol
Today we're interviewing Jorge Barreto, director of the Quantum Engineering Centre for Doctoral Training and senior lecturer at the Quantum Engineering Technology Labs in Bristol.

...John Rarity (University of Bristol), the early days of quantum photonics and advice for young scientists
Today’s guest is John Rarity, Professor of Optical Communication Systems at the University of Bristol, and Fellow of the Royal Society. John was one of the early pioneers for experimental quantum information science in the 1980s, performing some of the original experiments with single photons. He has remained a leading figure in the field to this day, overseeing many quantum technologies projects such as the city-wide quantum network in Bristol. In this episode, we talk with John about how he became a scientist, aspects of his research, and he ends by giving some advice to young scientists aiming to enter a career developing quantum technologies.

...Tiff Brydges (University of Geneva - Quantum Technologies), trapped ion quantum simulators and entanglement
In this episode of Entangled with... we speak with Dr. Tiff brydges, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Geneva working on quantum communication. We discuss her experience working on a photonic cluster state during her master's degree at the University of Oxford and her research transition to trapped ion systems at Innsbruck University. We discuss how a trapped ion quantum system works, what makes it such a good platform for quantum simulations and why entanglement is an essential resource and how it can be quantified. We finish with some advice for anyone interested in entering the world of research and some advice for current PhD students.

...Mattia Fiorentini (Cambridge Quantum Computing), quantum machine learning, AI and working in industry
In this episode we speak with Mattia Fiorentini, Head of Machine Learning and Quantum Algorithms at Cambridge Quantum Computing. We will introduce quantum machine learning, discuss why it is exciting and where it is predicted that we will see the most advantage. We will also discuss working in a commercial environment and finish with some advice for anyone keen to get into this field. We hope you enjoy !

...Aleks Kissinger (University of Oxford), quantum picturalism
In this episode of Entangled with... we speak with Aleks Kissinger, an Associate Professor of Quantum Computation at the University of Oxford, and co-author of the book 'Picturing Quantum Processes'. In the episode we discuss the main idea from this book which is how pictures are more intuitive and provide a better abstraction to reason about quantum mechanics than the standard way of using equations. Aleks also explains how quantum picturalism can be used for practical applications such as quantum computation and compilation. At the end of the episode, he talks about a new book he is currently working on, 'Picturing Quantum Software'. We hope you enjoy this episode of Entangled with...
