"Quantum Computing in 2023: Tackling Noise for Exponential Growth"

The Starts With A Bang podcast episode 101 features Dr. Riccardo Manenti, an expert in quantum computing, who discusses the realities and misconceptions of quantum computers. Quantum computers differ from classical ones by allowing bits to exist in superposition states, not just as 0s or 1s. The episode aims to cut through the hype surrounding quantum computing, such as the notions of "quantum supremacy" and "quantum advantage," and provide a clearer understanding of the technology's actual progress and challenges. Manenti, with his extensive background, including a PhD from Oxford and experience at Rigetti, offers insights into the current state and future potential of quantum computing.
