Listen for free

This is a podcast about the current state and near-term future of quantum computing. Lucas and Luna examine the science and business of quantum hardware, from superconducting qubits to trapped ions and topological systems. They discuss the engineering challenges of error correction, the race to quantum supremacy, and the realistic timelines for commercial quantum advantage. Each episode focuses on a specific company, research paper, or technology milestone — Google's Sycamore, IBM's Quantum System One, IonQ's trapped-ion processors, or China's quantum communication network. Lucas brings a journalist's rigor to the technical details, while Luna pushes for clarity on what these advances mean for cryptography, drug discovery, optimization, and finance. This show is for listeners who want to understand quantum computing without hype — the real bottlenecks, the credible roadmaps, and the startups that might actually deliver. How close are we to a fault-tolerant quantum computer? Which industries will be transformed first? And which approaches are likely dead ends? #QuantumComputing #Qubits #QuantumHardware #QuantumSupremacy #ErrorCorrection #SuperconductingQubits #TrappedIons #TopologicalQubits #GoogleSycamore #IBMQuantum #IonQ #QuantumCryptography #DrugDiscovery #Optimization #Technology #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo© 2026 Fexingo.

  • How Quantum Computing Is Tackling Fusion Energy Simulation

    How Quantum Computing Is Tackling Fusion Energy Simulation
    Jun 28 2026
    Episode 79 of The Quantum Computing Podcast explores how quantum computers are being deployed to simulate plasma behavior inside fusion reactors. Lucas and Luna discuss a specific 2026 experiment where researchers at a national lab used a 1000-qubit quantum processor to model turbulent plasma flow—reducing simulation time from weeks to under a day. They break down why fusion poses such a hard computational problem, how quantum algorithms handle magnetohydrodynamic equations differently than classical supercomputers, and what milestones are needed before quantum-assisted fusion design becomes routine. The episode also touches on the broader push from energy startups and government labs to combine quantum simulation with traditional high-performance computing. No hype, just a grounded look at where the science actually stands as of mid-2026. #QuantumComputing #FusionEnergy #PlasmaPhysics #Magnetohydrodynamics #QuantumSimulation #NationalLab #1000Qubit #EnergyTech #HPC #Feynman #Qubit #ErrorCorrection #CleanEnergy #NuclearFusion #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • How Quantum Computers Are Optimizing Portfolio Risk Management

    How Quantum Computers Are Optimizing Portfolio Risk Management
    Jun 28 2026
    In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how quantum computing is transforming portfolio risk management. They discuss a specific case: how JPMorgan Chase is experimenting with quantum algorithms to run Value-at-Risk simulations that would take classical supercomputers days. The conversation covers the limitations of classical Monte Carlo methods, the promise of amplitude estimation, and the practical hurdles—like error rates and qubit coherence times—that still need to be solved. Lucas explains that a 50-qubit quantum computer with gate fidelities above 99.9 percent could already provide a speedup for certain risk calculations, but today's hardware is still a few years away. They also touch on the role of hybrid classical-quantum models and what it means for financial institutions planning their quantum strategy.

  • Why Quantum Computers Need Silicon Photonics

    Why Quantum Computers Need Silicon Photonics
    Jun 27 2026
    In episode 77, Lucas and Luna dive into why silicon photonics is becoming a critical enabler for scaling quantum computers. They explain how moving data with light instead of electricity reduces heat and error rates, and highlight Intel's recent breakthrough in integrating photonic components directly onto silicon chips. The conversation covers the difference between classical photonics and the quantum version, the challenge of interfacing with superconducting qubits, and why this technology could unlock practical fault-tolerant systems within five years. #SiliconPhotonics #QuantumComputing #Intel #Photonics #Qubits #ErrorCorrection #Cryogenic #Superconducting #FaultTolerant #OpticalInterconnect #DataCenter #Scaling #Semiconductor #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechPodcast #QuantumHardware Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
