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":"Quantum Computing Is Becoming a Semiconductor Lithography Optimizer","slug":"quantum-computing-is-becoming-a-semiconductor-lithography-optimizer","published_at":"2026-06-17T20:02:20+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/quantum-computing-business-with-fexingo-hardware-software-and-enterprise-quantum-7872009/quantum-computing-is-becoming-a-semiconductor-lithography-optimizer","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-0057.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/quantum-computing-business/episode-0057.mp3","summary":"Episode 57 of Quantum Computing Business with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna explore how quantum algorithms are being used to optimize extreme ultraviolet lithography for chip manufacturing. The episode centers on a partnership between a quantum startup and a major chip equipment maker, focusing on the specific problem of mask design optimization. They discuss how quantum annealing can solve complex diffraction pattern calculations that classical computers struggle with, potentially reducing defect rates and time to tape-out. The hosts also touch on the economic stakes: even a one percent yield improvement in advanced nodes can be worth hundreds of millions of dollars per fab. No hype, just a look at a specific, measurable application of quantum computing in semiconductor production. #QuantumComputing #Semiconductor #Lithography #EUV #ChipManufacturing #QuantumAnnealing #MaskOptimization #YieldImprovement #D-Wave #ASML #BusinessAndTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechnologyPodcast #QuantumTech #Hardware #Software #EnterpriseQuantum Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Episode 57 of Quantum Computing Business with Fexingo.
