Researchers all over the world have tried for more than 25 years to make a new type of computer that can solve much more complex problems than traditional computers are capable of.

Professor Charles Marcus from the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen is one of the leading researchers who have made major contributions to the development of quantum computers.  He is giving a profound understanding about what quantum computing is and  why it may, or may not be difficult to grasp.
 
He is interviewed about the state of the art of quantum computing by Science Journalist Jens Degett from Science Stories.

The interview was made in connection with the first Quantum Computing Applications in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Workshop organized by the Danish Technical University (DTU) Department of Chemical Engineering, Knowledge Hub Zealand and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE).

[Best of] Quantum computing in a waterdrop.

The first quantum computer has arrived. The version of a quantum chip that recently came out of the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen is now for sale, but it has already been sold out. 

The price is cheap according to professor Peter Lodahl from Sparrow Quantum  who has recently moved out of the old Niels Bohr Institute to the other side of the street. Not a big move but a quantum leap. 

Science journalist Jens Degett is talking to Peter Lodahl in this podcast trying to understand what a quantum computer can do, how it works and what purpose it will serve.

Quantum computing has arrived

4-D TRAVELLER - The Coming Wave

Fresh out of the studio, Doug Burger, Technical Fellow and Corporate Vice President at Microsoft Research, joins us to explore Microsoft's bold expansion into Southeast Asia with the recent launch of the Microsoft Research Asia lab in Singapore. From there, Doug shares his accidental journey from academia to leading global research operations, reflecting on how Microsoft Research's open collaboration model empowers over thousands of researchers worldwide to tackle humanity's biggest challenges. Addressing the intersection of three computing paradigms: logic, probability, and quantum, he emphasizes that geographic diversity in research labs enables Microsoft to build AI that works for everyone. Closing the conversation, Doug shares his vision of what great looks like for Microsoft Research with researchers driven by purpose and passion to create breakthroughs that advance both science and society.

"If you're going to be running a very elite research institution, you have to have the best people. To have the best people, you have to trust them and empower them. You can't hire a world expert in some area and then tell them what to do. They know more than you do. They're smarter than you are in their area. So you've got to trust your people. One of our really foundational commitments to our people is: we trust you. We're going to work to empower you. Go do the thing that you need to do. If somebody in the labs wants to spend 5, 10, 15 years working on something they think is really important, they're empowered to do that."

How Microsoft Research Balances Exploration and Impact Globally with Doug Burger

Jobst Landgrebe returns to discuss his fantastic new book "The Hype Cycle" which discusses how the endless fear hype and hope hype we are bombarded with is nonsense and primarily serves to implement a permanent state of emergency and enrich ruling elites. These include AI, climate, transhumanism, quantum computing, food, medicine, globalism, war, death, gender, race, and more. Jobst outlines the implications and offers his antidote

Living with the Liberty of Christ. Let's take a look at ourselves.
The Mystery of Iniquity is made manifest to the Saints. When trouble comes your way. What is a Saint? Christ in you, the hope of Glory.
Col  1 : 26-27 and 2 Thess 2:8

Michael discusses Technologies that will blow your mind. The basics of Quantum Computing. The path of an Electron. Standard Computer vs Quantum Computer.
Quantum Entanglement and Quantum Tunneling. Things are much farther along than you think. Artificial Intelligence and the issues of Deception. The reason CERN is so scary. Something has been altered in this world. We have no power within ourselves to see through the deception/delusion. You are not going to be able to trust everything you see or hear, so walk by Faith, not Sight.

In this second part of Tom's podcast on quantum computing he looks at the strange world of quantum entanglement and the views of scientists and researchers working on quantum computers who where interviewed at a recent event, Nano Days with a Quantum Twist, which was held at the Boston Museum of Science.

#13 — Quantum Computing II (Aditya Jain, Carol Lynn Alpert, & Calvin Leung)

When you think of Scandinavia, what comes to mind?  If you're like most, then fjords, saunas, ABBA, the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, and LEGO's are probably among your first thoughts.  What about Skype, Linux, Spotify, Nokia, SMS texting, and "Erwise" - the first GUI browser?  These innovations also emerged from the Nordic countries, who it turns out have a heritage of high tech innovation as rich & varied as a holiday smörgåsbord.  That tradition has led to a high level of digital maturity among Scandinavian enterprises, and a culture eager for digital transformation.

To better understand the unique IT characteristics that differentiate this region of the world, we speak with Himadri Das, Head of Automation at TietoEVRY, Scandinavia's biggest IT, business consulting, and outsourcing services provider.  Himadri shares with us how best to sell AI, ML, and other advanced technologies in Scandinavia, the 3 "buckets" Scandinavian C-suite executives want addressed when these technologies are proposed to them, and Himadri's advice on moving forward with digital transformation based on his extensive experience with organizations in Nordic countries.
