Show Notes
In Episode 153, Daniela Herrmann, CEO and Founder of Dynex, joins Patrick and Ciprian to talk about making quantum accessible to businesses that have no interest in understanding how it works. Dynex takes a problem driven approach — customers describe their computational challenge, Dynex identifies whether it’s a quantum problem, builds the solution, and delivers a working MVP in six to eight weeks, running on Dynex’s own proprietary soft and hardware platform. The conversation covers the bre...

In Episode 152, Emma Rosenfeld, Research Scientist at Google Quantum AI, joins Patrick and Ciprian for Google’s first appearance on the show. Emma traces her path from mechanically exploring quantum systems at Harvard to quantum sensing at Google X and quantum computing at Amazon before arriving at Google. The conversation digs into quantum error correction — what it is, why it was the field’s saving grace, and where the experimental evidence now stands across multiple hardware platforms. Emm...
In Episode 151, Abhi Chopra, Founder and CEO of BQP, joins Patrick and Ciprian to make the case for a different way of thinking about quantum. Rather than chasing quantum advantage as a blanket claim, BQP takes a problem driven approach — identifying which parts of a workflow benefit from quantum inspired or quantum native computation, and meeting engineers where they already work. The team dig into BQP's OneCore Engine, its native integration with MATLAB, and why circuit depth rather than qu...
In Episode 150, Colton Dillion and Rick Carback of Postquant Labs join Patrick and Ciprian to introduce Quip Network, a decentralized, open source protocol designed to commoditize quantum compute the way CUDA democratized GPU access. The team dig into the four core problems facing quantum today: unclear benchmarks, high education costs, closed ecosystems, and fragmented talent. Quip Network addresses these by creating a bid based marketplace where quantum operators can monetize unused c...
In Episode 149, Patrick and Ciprian take stock of where the money in quantum is flowing. The conversation covers IBM's plan to invest more than $10 billion over five years, the US Department of Commerce's nine letters of intent totaling over two billion dollars under the CHIPS Act, and QEra's $230 million raise with Nvidia involvement. The team dig into which modalities are getting the spotlight, why neutral atoms are drawing attention, and what Microsoft's Majorana 2 bet could mean if it hol...
In Episode 148, Gustavo Cancelo, Senior Scientist at Fermilab near Chicago, joins Patrick and Ciprian to talk about QICK, the Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit, an open source platform developed at Fermilab that has become a widely adopted tool for quantum control and readout across four continents. Gustavo walks through what quantum control actually involves, why calibration and characterization are as important as the qubits themselves, and how QICK's MIT license and affordability have lo...
