    #78 - Simon Benjamin

    #78 - Simon Benjamin

    Simon Benjamin is a Professor of Quantum Technologies at Oxford. He is also the Principle Investigator for Oxford’s project on Quantum Optimisation and Machine Learning.

    This episode is more technical than last week’s episode with John Preskill. We start by covering some fundamentals then go into different approaches for constructing and scaling a quantum computer.

    #77 - John Preskill

    John Preskill is a theoretical physicist and the Richard P. Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics at Caltech.

    He once won a bet with Steven Hawking, which as he writes made him “briefly almost famous.” John and Kip Thorne bet that singularities could exist outside of black holes and after six years Hawking conceded that they were possible in very special, “nongeneric” conditions.

    In this episode we cover what John’s been focusing on for years: quantum information, quantum computing, and quantum error correction.
