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 Optimizing Traffic Flow in Smart Cities","slug":"how-quantum-computing-is-optimizing-traffic-flow-in-smart-cities","published_at":"2026-07-17T20:52:31+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/quantum-computing-business-with-fexingo-hardware-software-and-enterprise-quantum-7872009/how-quantum-computing-is-optimizing-traffic-flow-in-smart-cities","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-0117.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/quantum-computing-business/episode-0117.mp3","summary":"In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how quantum computing is being used to optimize traffic flow in smart cities, reducing congestion and emissions. They focus on a specific pilot project by Volkswagen in Lisbon, Portugal, where a quantum algorithm rerouted 500 buses in real time, cutting average commute times by 22 percent. The discussion covers how quantum algorithms handle combinatorial optimization problems that classical computers struggle with, the role of hybrid quantum-classical systems, and the broader implications for urban planning and logistics. Lucas explains the technical breakthrough using a D-Wave quantum annealer, while Luna raises practical questions about scalability and cost. The episode ties the technology to real-world impact, offering listeners a concrete example they can cite. #QuantumComputing #SmartCities #TrafficOptimization #Volkswagen #D_Wave #QuantumAnnealing #UrbanPlanning #Logistics #Transportation #Lisbon #CombinatorialOptimization #HybridQuantum #BusinessTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechInnovation #Sustainability #QuantumAlgorithms Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how quantum computing is being used to optimize traffic flow in smart cities, reducing congestion and emissions.
