Quantum Computing Now
By 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.

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.

Noisy Intermediate Scale Podcast - March Showcase – Episode 31
In which I play the first episode of the Noisy Intermediate-Scale Podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/show/noisy-intermediate-scale-podcast
----- 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
- The code containing the ansatz interface I talked about: https://github.com/zapatacomputing/z-quantum-core/blob/master/src/python/zquantum/core/interfaces/ansatz.py

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
