Dr. Sivan describes some the basics and the intricacies of quantum computing. When you listen, you'll learn about
Dr. Itamar Sivan is the co-founder of Quantum Machines. His background includes extensive studies in
quantum technologies and quantum-control systems. He obtained a
master's degree from Oxford University in quantum optics and the
physics of cold atoms and his PhD was on quantum physics and
quantum computing combined with an entrepreneurship
angle.
This discussion explores much of
his present work as well as the tension between what quantum
technologies are capable of accomplishing and what limits come in
the delicate nature of the quantum-control systems.
His company, Quantum Machines or QM, develops the quantum orchestration
platform. In other words, they develop hardware and software
systems that run complex algorithms on quantum
processors.
He explains that technology can
be leveraged into running algorithms into pretty much any quantum
processor. He also discusses the advances and challenges as the
exponential power of the quantum system is not fully
utilized.
He comments that the race for technology for the quantum world
involves expanding processors to be bigger and more stable.
Finally, he explains what these advances may impact and how
everyday life might be affected.
