Join us as we delve into the lives of scientists and the complexity of their research topics. Grab a drink, hop on a bus or go for a walk and listen to the many different stories about being a scientist and basically doing something for a living only a few can understand. Our guests are all involved in the research mission of ML4Q, a German consortium dedicated to develop the best hardware platform for quantum information technology, and provide comprehensive blueprints for a functional quantum information network. #ML4QnA","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ml4q-a-from-the-lives-of-quantum-physicists-5212739"},"episode":{"title":"24.

So naturally, they discuss the German Excellence Initiative and how joining ML4Q was a natural step for Jens, given he has many previous and ongoing collaborations with other ML4Q members. Jens shares his insights on various aspects of quantum information processing such as benchmarking and no-go theorems, his recent white paper on AI and quantum computing, quantum error correction, complexity and pseudo chaos. Ultimately Jens makes a convincing case that quantum computers remain fascinating \"even if you confine yourself to saying things that are true\". He reflects on the unwritten rules of academia, teaching and inspiring students, and his approach to finding research topics by looking for \"cultural gaps\" between fields.","meta_description":"Jens Eisert joins ML4Q as a member for the next funding period which was granted around the time Chris and Mira recorded this Episode with him.
