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 Redesigning Cement","slug":"how-quantum-computing-is-redesigning-cement","published_at":"2026-07-16T20:43:08+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/quantum-computing-business-with-fexingo-hardware-software-and-enterprise-quantum-7872009/how-quantum-computing-is-redesigning-cement","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-0115.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/quantum-computing-business/episode-0115.mp3","summary":"Episode 115 dives into a surprising industrial application of quantum computing: redesigning cement. Lucas and Luna explore a specific 2025 study where a quantum algorithm screened hundreds of calcium-silicate-hydrate variants, identifying a candidate that could cut concrete CO₂ emissions by roughly 30% if scaled. They discuss how quantum simulators model atomic interactions in cement at a resolution classical computers cannot match, the role of industry partners like Heidelberg Materials in piloting these results, and why this matters given concrete accounts for about 8% of global carbon emissions. The hosts also highlight the challenge of scaling quantum hardware to handle these simulations reliably. A concrete, numbers-driven look at how near-term quantum devices might reshape a foundational material of the built environment. #QuantumComputing #Cement #ConcreteCO2 #HeidelbergMaterials #CarbonEmissions #MaterialsScience #QuantumSimulation #ConstructionTech #IndustrialDecarbonization #CementIndustry #QuantumHardware #ClimateTech #BusinessAndTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #SustainableMaterials #QuantumAlgorithms #CleanTech Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Episode 115 dives into a surprising industrial application of quantum computing: redesigning cement.
