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 EDA for Ion Trap Design with Daniel Faircloth","slug":"quantum-eda-for-ion-trap-design-with-daniel-faircloth","published_at":"2026-06-29T13:05:12+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-new-quantum-era-innovation-in-quantum-computing-science-and-technology-5609388/quantum-eda-for-ion-trap-design-with-daniel-faircloth","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-new-quantum-era-innovation-in-quantum-computing-science-and-technology-5609388","url":"https://newquantumera.transistor.fm/99","audio_url":"https://op3.dev/e/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/media.transistor.fm/24a5d7c0/6829ca77.mp3","summary":"What if the bottleneck in scaling trapped-ion quantum computers isn't the qubits or the lasers, but the design software underneath them? Daniel Faircloth, PhD, co-founder and CTO of Nullspace, joins Sebastian to explain why ion trap engineers have been forced to bend legacy electromagnetic solvers around problems they were never built for — and what changes when you build a simulator from scratch for the physics of confining single atoms. It's a conversation about the quiet emergence of a quantum EDA layer, the engineering work that turns hardware roadmaps into reality, and why nanometer-precise ion height predictions are harder than they sound.","meta_description":"What if the bottleneck in scaling trapped-ion quantum computers isn't the qubits or the lasers, but the design software underneath them?
