Quantum Tech UpdatesQuantum Coherence Leap: Millisecond Milestone Shatters Records, Ignites Quantum RevolutionThis is your Quantum Tech Updates podcast.No time for small talk—because quantum time is precious, and today, we just witnessed one of those moments that changes everything. Imagine last week: the team at Aalto University reporting transmon qubits that have shattered coherence time records, with individual qubits hanging onto fragile quantum information for up to a full millisecond. I know that might not send shivers down your spine unless you live and breathe superconducting circuits, but let me translate this out of the quantum fog. In the world of quantum computers, that’s the difference between a sp...2025-07-2303 min
The Quantum Stack WeeklyQuantum Leap: Millisecond Coherence Shatters Limits, Unleashes PotentialThis is your The Quantum Stack Weekly podcast.Millisecond qubit coherence. That’s the phrase that’s been echoing in my mind all day, ever since the news broke yesterday from Aalto University in Finland. Imagine, for a moment, you’re standing in a lab—the faint smell of cryogenic coolant in the air, superconducting circuits humming softly under layers of copper shielding, every photon accounted for. Now, picture researchers gathered around a monitor, holding their breath as a transmon qubit’s coherence time is measured, and for the first time, the numbers land not just above half a millisec...2025-07-2303 min
The New Quantum Era - innovation in quantum computing, science and technologyMegaquop with John Preskill and Rob SchoelkopfIn this episode of The New Quantum Era podcast, your host Sebastian Hassinger interviews two of the field's most well-known figures, John Preskill and Rob Schoelkopf, about the transition of quantum computing into a new phase that John is calling "megaquop," which stands for "a million quantum operations." Our conversation delves into what this new phase entails, the challenges and opportunities it presents, and the innovative approaches being explored to make quantum computing perform better and become more useful. This episode was made with the kind support of the American Physical Society and Quantum Circuits, Inc. Here’s what yo...2025-04-0234 minThe New Quantum Era - innovation in quantum computing, science and technologyDual-rail superconducting qubits with Rob SchoelkopfWelcome to another episode of The New Quantum Era, hosted by Sebastian Hassinger and Kevin Rowney.
