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 Transforming Material Science R&D","slug":"how-quantum-computing-is-transforming-material-science-r-d","published_at":"2026-06-08T07:52:28+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/quantum-computing-business-with-fexingo-hardware-software-and-enterprise-quantum-7872009/how-quantum-computing-is-transforming-material-science-r-d","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-0038.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/quantum-computing-business/episode-0038.mp3","summary":"In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how quantum computing is accelerating material science research, from battery development to new alloys. They focus on the case of Daimler partnering with IBM to simulate lithium-sulfur battery chemistry on quantum hardware, cutting years off traditional R&D timelines. Lucas explains why material science is an ideal early use case for noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices, and Luna presses on the gap between current qubit counts and commercially relevant simulations. They also discuss how companies like BASF and Boeing are quietly investing in quantum materials teams, and why the $500 million National Quantum Initiative Act is seeding academic-industry partnerships in this space. The episode frames material science as a sleeper hit for quantum ROI, distinct from the more hyped applications in finance and cryptography. A natural donation segment ties the conversation to supporting independent analysis of emerging tech. #QuantumComputing #MaterialScience #BatteryTechnology #Daimler #IBM #BASF #Boeing #LithiumSulfur #NISQ #QuantumChemistry #R&D #NationalQuantumInitiative #BusinessAndTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EmergingTech #QuantumSimulation #CorporateInnovation Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how quantum computing is accelerating material science research, from battery development to new alloys.
