About Quantum Computing Now

From Ethan Hansen - This is a podcast all about quantum computing news, basic concepts, and what people in the field are doing. Quantum computing is serious stuff and we talk about serious science, but I try to not take myself too seriously. With that being said, quantum computing is rad as heck. Oh and here's the obligatory phrase " quantum computing podcast " so search engines pick this up. Shoot me an email if you wanna get in touch: 1ethanhansen@protonmail.com Hosted now by Shway!

   Happy World Quantum Day! A recap

   Happy World Quantum Day!! As I looked on the front page of google I remind myself that I host a quantum computing podcast. Hope this is better than going down the Wikipedia rabbit hole, though that is worth reading through as well. :) Stay tuned for the next episode with hardware physicists next and please listen to older episodes to get caught up to speed if interested!

Compilers, Compilers, Compilers! with John Long [QuEra]

Published 17 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] So that's pretty nice. But that being said, moves take time. And we even, neutral atoms, one of our biggest problems, atom loss. So it would be kind of bizarre if I told you like, oh, if it's a super connecting chip, you just imagine like one of your qubits is just gone. But in neutral atoms, that happens all the time. Even in the process of moving, sometimes the atom just, you know, we just drop it or it's lost and it has to be refilled. So there are some, you know, neutral atoms are certainly not like perfect in every way. So, you know, gate times are slow. Measuring things out can be slow. Even the process of picking and dropping these atoms sometimes can be slow. […]
