Not the hype, not the science fiction — the actual hardware race between superconducting qubits, trapped ions, and topological systems; the software stack from quantum algorithms to error correction; and the enterprise use cases where quantum might actually deliver value first, from drug discovery to portfolio optimization. Each episode, Lucas maps the technical landscape with specific numbers — qubit counts, coherence times, gate fidelities — while Luna presses on the business logic: who is buying, who is selling, and what the ROI timeline really looks like. They name the companies (IBM, Google, IonQ, Rigetti, D-Wave), the investors (quantum-focused VC funds, corporate R&D arms), and the open questions (decoupling hype from benchmarked results, talent shortages, supply chain for dilution refrigerators). No crystal-ball gazing — just a forensic look at the emerging quantum economy through the lens of public financial filings, academic preprints, and industry roadmaps. If you work in tech strategy, venture capital, or deep-tech product management, this is the conversation that prepares you fo…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-19T08:17:20.403037+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/quantum-computing-business-with-fexingo-hardware-software-and-enterprise-quantum-7872009"},"episode":{"title":"How Quantum Computing Is Becoming a Drug Pricing Tool for Pharma","slug":"how-quantum-computing-is-becoming-a-drug-pricing-tool-for-pharma","published_at":"2026-06-13T07:53:13+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/quantum-computing-business-with-fexingo-hardware-software-and-enterprise-quantum-7872009/how-quantum-computing-is-becoming-a-drug-pricing-tool-for-pharma","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/quantum-computing-business-with-fexingo-hardware-software-and-enterprise-quantum-7872009","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/quantum-computing-business/episode-0048.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/quantum-computing-business/episode-0048.mp3","summary":"Episode 48 of Quantum Computing Business with Fexingo explores a surprising new frontier: using quantum algorithms to model drug pricing under uncertainty. Lucas and Luna examine how pharma companies are beginning to apply quantum Monte Carlo simulations to forecast optimal launch prices for new drugs, factoring in clinical trial risks, competitor pipelines, and payer negotiations. They dig into a concrete case: a mid-stage biotech using a hybrid quantum-classical platform from a startup called Qubit Pharmaceuticals to set pricing for a rare-disease therapy. The hosts walk through why traditional spreadsheets fall short, how quantum methods handle thousands of correlated variables, and what the FDA's recent guidance on real-world evidence means for quantum-powered pricing models. They also discuss the broader implications—could this shift accelerate drug access, or will it concentrate pricing power among early adopters? #QuantumComputing #DrugPricing #Pharma #PricingStrategy #MonteCarlo #QubitPharmaceuticals #RareDisease #FDA #RealWorldEvidence #Biotech #PayerNegotiations #ClinicalTrials #HybridQuantum #QuantumAlgorithms #HealthcareEconomics #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Episode 48 of Quantum Computing Business with Fexingo explores a surprising new frontier: using quantum algorithms to model drug pricing under uncertainty…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":540,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/quantum-computing-business-with-fexingo-hardware-software-and-enterprise-quantum-7872009/episodes/how-quantum-computing-is-becoming-a-drug-pricing-tool-for-pharma/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/quantum-computing-business-with-fexingo-hardware-software-and-enterprise-quantum-7872009/how-quantum-computing-is-becoming-a-drug-pricing-tool-for-pharma.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
