Proudly sponsored by PyMC Labs , the Bayesian Consultancy. Book a call , or get in touch ! My Intuitive Bayes Online Courses 1:1 Mentorship with me You know I’m a big fan of everything physics. So when I heard that Bayesian stats was especially useful in quantum physics, I had to make an episode about it! You’ll hear from Chris Ferrie, an Associate Professor at the Centre for Quantum Software and Information of the University of Technology Sydney. Chris also has a foot in industry, as a co-founder of Eigensystems, an Australian start-up with a mission to democratize access to quantum computing. Of course, we talked about why Bayesian stats are helpful in quantum physics research, and about the burning challenges in this line of research. But Chris is also a renowned author — in addition to writing Bayesian Probability for Babies, he is the author of Quantum Physics for Babies and Quantum Bullsh*t: How to Ruin Your Life With Advice from Quantum Physics. So we ended up talking about science communication, science education, and a shocking revelation about Ant Man… A big thank you to one of my best Patrons, Stefan Lorenz, for recommending me an episode with Chris! Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran). Check out his awesome work at https://bababrinkman.com/ ! Thank you to my Patrons for making this episode possible!
