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 Skerrett

Cryptographic Agility with Mike Brown – Episode 37
In a world where quantum computers put the entire fate of encrypted messaging on the line, only one man can stop them… cue action shots and tense music
Just kidding of course, Mike Brown works with a whole company that can stop them! Listen to this episode to learn more about the real-world work that’s going on behind the scenes, and less about this awesome summer thriller movie concept I just came up with.

Quantum Amplifiers with Dr. Olivia Lanes – Episode 35
Everyone always asks "what is a quantum amplifier" but never "how is a quantum amplifier." Well in this episode I got to ask just that! (or rather, how is an amplifier quantum?) Dr. Olivia Lanes was my incredible guest who taught me a lot about all sorts of hardware surrounding superconducting qubits, although we focused on quantum amplifiers for the most part.

----- Notes from Michał’s Podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/user/13914305/1-what-quantum-software-engineers-do
- In this episode I talk about the job of quantum software engineers. What this job is about and how it's different from similar positions? What challenges do QSEs face? What are some typical tasks that they work on? I tried to answer all these questions.
Some links to useful resources:
- My blog: www.mustythoughts.com
- A pull request containing some of the changes I've talked about testing validity of gates: https://github.com/zapatacomputing/z-quantum-core/pull/145/files

Nonlocal – March Showcase – Episode 30
In which I play a select segment from Nonlocal: a quantum computing podcast: https://nonlocal.libsyn.com/
----- Nonlocal’s show notes: https://nonlocal.libsyn.com/001-the-origin-of-the-mermin-peres-magic-square
- The Mermin-Peres magic square is a simple game which is at the heart of many results in quantum cryptography and quantum complexity theory. In this episode, we trace the origin of the Mermin-Peres square back to two short papers by N. David Mermin and Asher Peres.
Mermin's paper: https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.65.3373
Peres' paper: https://doi.org/10.1016/0375-9601(90)90172-K

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.
