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":"Quantum Drug Discovery and the Path to Advantage with Sabrina Maniscalco","slug":"quantum-drug-discovery-and-the-path-to-advantage-with-sabrina-maniscalco","published_at":"2026-06-15T14:03:39+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-new-quantum-era-innovation-in-quantum-computing-science-and-technology-5609388/quantum-drug-discovery-and-the-path-to-advantage-with-sabrina-maniscalco","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-new-quantum-era-innovation-in-quantum-computing-science-and-technology-5609388","url":"https://newquantumera.transistor.fm/97","audio_url":"https://op3.dev/e/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/media.transistor.fm/065bc5e2/5db0095f.mp3","summary":"What does it actually take to run a quantum-classical workflow on a real cancer drug — not hydrogen, not a toy molecule, but a photosensitizer already in Phase II clinical trials? Sabrina Maniscalco, CEO and co-founder of Algorithmiq, joins Sebastian to unpack the science behind the company's Wellcome Leap Q4Bio win, its €18M raise, and its move from Helsinki to Milan. Along the way: error mitigation, tensor networks, sampling tradeoffs across hardware platforms, and an honest look at where quantum advantage in chemistry might actually land.","meta_description":"What does it actually take to run a quantum-classical workflow on a real cancer drug — not hydrogen, not a toy molecule, but a photosensitizer already in…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2709,"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/quantum-drug-discovery-and-the-path-to-advantage-with-sabrina-maniscalco/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/quantum-drug-discovery-and-the-path-to-advantage-with-sabrina-maniscalco.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
