S1 Ep5: Qubits, Entanglement & Superconductors
Alright, not going to lie - quantum physics is tough! But our specialist guest John Azariah does a great job at breaking it down…using mayonnaise and beach balls. From quantum entanglement theory, to solving climate change, if you’ve ever wanted to know all about quantum computing, then prepare to dive in!
The discussion covers:
- Entanglement theory
- Do we already have quantum computers?
- Truly random sequences
- What is a qubit - the beach ball analogy
- Quantum mechanics in nature
- Solving climate change with quantum
- Superconductors & quantum batteries
- Post-quantum cryptography
John Azariah is a Principal Architect with Microsoft and co-creator of the Q# programming language for quantum computing. He was on the QCoDes team and one of the designers of the Azure Quantum offering. He is active in the Azure and F# communities and presents regularly on the topics of distributed and cloud computing; quantum computing fundamentals; and functional programming (particularly in F#) at various international developer conferences.
