We will cover topics in quantum computing, networking and sensing, focusing on hardware, algorithms and general theory. The show aims for accessibility - Sebastian is not a physicist - and we'll try to provide context for the terminology and glimpses at the fascinating history of this new field as it evolves in real time.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-28T06:19:15.608488+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-new-quantum-era-innovation-in-quantum-computing-science-and-technology-5609388"},"episode":{"title":"Electrons on Superfluid Helium with Nick Farina","slug":"electrons-on-superfluid-helium-with-nick-farina","published_at":"2026-06-22T12:33:12+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-new-quantum-era-innovation-in-quantum-computing-science-and-technology-5609388/electrons-on-superfluid-helium-with-nick-farina","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-new-quantum-era-innovation-in-quantum-computing-science-and-technology-5609388","url":"https://newquantumera.transistor.fm/98","audio_url":"https://op3.dev/e/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/media.transistor.fm/d4d6ece8/359fcd19.mp3","summary":"What if the path to a million-qubit processor doesn't run through silicon defects or massive wire bundles, but through single electrons floating a few nanometers above a film of superfluid helium? Nick Farina, co-founder and CEO of EeroQ, joins Sebastian to explain why his team bet a decade on the only commercial electron-on-helium quantum computing platform — and what their recent results, including a new *Nature Physics* paper demonstrating strong coupling between a microwave photon and a single electron on helium, suggest about scaling, coherence, and the \"wire problem.\"","meta_description":"What if the path to a million-qubit processor doesn't run through silicon defects or massive wire bundles, but through single electrons floating a few nan…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2526,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-new-quantum-era-innovation-in-quantum-computing-science-and-technology-5609388/episodes/electrons-on-superfluid-helium-with-nick-farina/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-new-quantum-era-innovation-in-quantum-computing-science-and-technology-5609388/electrons-on-superfluid-helium-with-nick-farina.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
