Real-life Quantum Computing • Jessica Pointing & Guen Prawiroatmodjo • GOTO 2019

A note on this interview’s audio quality This was one of the first Unscripted interviews we recorded in a busy live conference setting and without our usual recording setup, which is reflected in the somewhat low audio quality you’ll hear in this episode. This is not reflective of the audio quality featured in most of our videos, and we hope you’ll find that the fantastic content more than makes up for it. This interview was recorded at GOTO Chicago for GOTO Unscripted. #GOTOcon #GOTOUnscripted #GOTOchgo https://gotopia.tech Read the full transcription of this interview here: https://gotopia.tech/articles/real-life-quantum-computing Jessica Pointing - Award-winning quantum computing researcher Guen Prawiroatmodjo - Quantum Physicist making quantum programming possible Jørn Larsen - CEO at Trifork TIMECODES 00:00 Intro 01:27 What led you to study quantum computing? 03:46 What is quantum computing? 04:56 Quantum computing and Albert Einstein 05:40 Do we have a notion of certainty? 08:16 What are potential applications of QC? 09:52 Cybersecurity risks with quantum computers 11:35 Is traveling through time possible with quantum computers? 14:08 Quantum computers & how they are built 17:54 Clustering quantum computers 20:26 Quantum computing algorithms 22:10 Gates in quantum computing 26:50 How long can the superposition be maintained? 28:08 Implementing quantum computers 30:00 What can you do with quantum computing today? 32:22 Quantum speedup, advantage or supremacy 34:00 What are the problems quantum computing is solving right now? 35:50 Is there a Moore's Law in quantum computing? 37:58 How can you get started in this field? 39:39 Outro RECOMMENDED BOOKS Johan Vos • Quantum Computing in Action (available soon) • https://amzn.to/3oj7OQ6 Jack D.
