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":"Hardware-Faithful Digital Twins for Quantum Computing with Izhar Medalsy","slug":"hardware-faithful-digital-twins-for-quantum-computing-with-izhar-medalsy","published_at":"2026-05-04T12:38:53+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-new-quantum-era-innovation-in-quantum-computing-science-and-technology-5609388/hardware-faithful-digital-twins-for-quantum-computing-with-izhar-medalsy","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-new-quantum-era-innovation-in-quantum-computing-science-and-technology-5609388","url":"https://newquantumera.transistor.fm/91","audio_url":"https://op3.dev/e/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/media.transistor.fm/116264c8/284a76b4.mp3","summary":"Quantum hardware iteration is gated by the simple fact that real QPUs are expensive, scarce, and noisy in ways that generic simulators don't capture. In this episode, Izhar Medalsy, co-founder and CEO of Quantum Elements, explains why the industry is still building \"wooden models in the air tunnel\" — and how hardware-faithful digital twins, scaled to a distance-7 rotated surface code with 97 physical qubits on AWS HPC, could give pulse engineers, circuit designers, and QEC decoder teams a faster, cheaper place to iterate.","meta_description":"Quantum hardware iteration is gated by the simple fact that real QPUs are expensive, scarce, and noisy in ways that generic simulators don't capture.
