PQC & Math Culture with Krystal A. Maughan [UVM], [RQS - QSim]
Before you listen! Helpful Acronyms to deal with the jargon: - PQC = Post Quantum Cryptography, area within quantum computing & cryptography where researchers are developing quantum-safe protocols resilient against quantum cryptography attacks. - LDPC Codes = Low Density Parity Check, a type of error correction method - Block Encoding = a technique used in quantum computing (see youtube link below!)In this episode: Quantum Simulation program, Cryptography, & passionate community!A conversation with the brilliant Krystal Maughan, PhD researcher at the University of Vermont doing innovative work...

For the Love of Quantum
The return of the QCN podcast!! This episode was meant to release on February 14th! Ethan's mic (quite literally) has been passed on to me, Shway, and I'll be the new host. I hope I do nearly as great of a job communicating the journey of learning quantum computing as he did...Thank you my friend.(Also congratulations to Ethan & his fiancée!!!!!) ---I procrastinated on posting this. Expect more episodes on quantum computing technologies, with hopefully less procrastination. And as always, stay curious!

Reprogrammable Quantum Secure Hardware with Mamta Gupta - Episode 47
We've heard on the show before about software needed to secure devices in a post-quantum world, but what about the hardware? Mamta Gupta from Lattice Semiconductor is here to tell us all about that! A note: at one point, Mamta talks about massive parallelism being the reason for quantum computing's speedup. As far as I can tell, it's not. I didn't think during the podcast was the best time to bring it up, but if you want to learn more, I recommend looking at the episode I did with Scott Aaronson and also the episode with Jon Ske...

Amir Naveh and Quantum Volume – Episode 24 [Hybrid]
Amir (VP of R&D at Classiq, a quantum software startup) and I talk about how Quantum Volume is measured and how we in the public should interpret the results that come from it. While the metric does have some flaws, it’s still a good general-purpose single-number way to compare devices.
