Physics World Weekly PodcastQuantum algorithms make clever use of noisy hardware
While quantum computers show great promise for the future, today’s processors are small and noisy – and this makes it very difficult to do meaningful quantum calculations right now. To address this problem, researchers are developing clever quantum algorithms that make the most out of the hardware that is available today.
Some of those algorithms are being developed by UK-based Phasecraft and the firm’s co-founder and chief technology officer is our guest in this episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast. Toby Cubitt explains why the company is focusing on the development of quantum algorithms for calcul...2023-10-1933 min
Startup DadsToby Cubitt, Phasecraft: Paternity leaveHave you thought much about paternity leave? Most of us just accept the status quo, but today’s guest has other ideas. Toby Cubitt is a father, academic and the founder of Phasecraft: a cutting edge quantum computing company. Toby has also put down a lot of his ideas about paternity leave online - the current state of affairs, what other countries have done, what the future could look like - and he shares these thoughts with us today. The episode also covers the (actual) most common reason startups fail, recognising recurring ‘red alerts’, and catching t...2021-10-1226 min
