The quantum version of zero | fAQ podcast - season 2 ep. 3

fAQ by SandboxAQ by Adam Green & Tai-Danae Bradley

Episode notes
Welcome to season 2 of fAQ! For this season, Tai-Danae and Adam will be focusing on a single topic: What is actually happening inside a quantum computer? By the end of this season, you'll have a better understanding of the "how" of quantum computing. So get ready to go beyond the theory and dig into what's actually going on these machines that harness the fundamental forces of the universe! In this third episode, we dig into DiVincenzo's second criterion for functional quantum computers: "The ability to initialize the state of the qubits to a simple fiducial state". What does that mean? And do trapped ion quantum computers pass that test? What about superconducting quantum computers? And what to ukuleles have to do with this?! Want to get in touch?
