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":"The Quantum Control Stack with Niels Bultink","slug":"the-quantum-control-stack-with-niels-bultink","published_at":"2026-05-11T12:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-new-quantum-era-innovation-in-quantum-computing-science-and-technology-5609388/the-quantum-control-stack-with-niels-bultink","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-new-quantum-era-innovation-in-quantum-computing-science-and-technology-5609388","url":"https://newquantumera.transistor.fm/92","audio_url":"https://op3.dev/e/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/media.transistor.fm/9f418b96/8038e405.mp3","summary":"Every quantum computer — superconducting, spin, trapped ion, or neutral atom — depends on a layer most people never see: the precisely timed electronics that play qubits like a microwave-frequency piano and read the answers back. Niels Bultink, co-founder and CEO of Qblox, joins Sebastian to explain why the quantum control stack has become a strategic bottleneck for scaling quantum hardware, and how a Delft spinout is building the picks-and-shovels of fault-tolerant quantum computing while expanding into the U.S. through a Boston headquarters, U.S. manufacturing in Massachusetts, and a partnership with Fermilab on the open-source QICK platform.","meta_description":"Every quantum computer — superconducting, spin, trapped ion, or neutral atom — depends on a layer most people never see: the precisely timed electronics t…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2235,"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/the-quantum-control-stack-with-niels-bultink/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/the-quantum-control-stack-with-niels-bultink.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
