Lucas and Luna examine the science and business of quantum hardware, from superconducting qubits to trapped ions and topological systems. They discuss the engineering challenges of error correction, the race to quantum supremacy, and the realistic timelines for commercial quantum advantage. Each episode focuses on a specific company, research paper, or technology milestone — Google's Sycamore, IBM's Quantum System One, IonQ's trapped-ion processors, or China's quantum communication network. Lucas brings a journalist's rigor to the technical details, while Luna pushes for clarity on what these advances mean for cryptography, drug discovery, optimization, and finance. This show is for listeners who want to understand quantum computing without hype — the real bottlenecks, the credible roadmaps, and the startups that might actually deliver. How close are we to a fault-tolerant quantum computer? Which industries will be transformed first? And which approaches are likely dead ends? #QuantumComputing #Qubits #QuantumHardware #QuantumSupremacy #ErrorCorrection #SuperconductingQubits #TrappedIons #Topologi…","last_synced_at":"2026-06-20T20:22:02.827480+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-quantum-computing-podcast-with-fexingo-qubits-quantum-hardware-and-future-computing-7871946"},"episode":{"title":"How Quantum Computing Is Building Error-Corrected Logical Qubits","slug":"how-quantum-computing-is-building-error-corrected-logical-qubits","published_at":"2026-06-14T20:36:59+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-quantum-computing-podcast-with-fexingo-qubits-quantum-hardware-and-future-computing-7871946/how-quantum-computing-is-building-error-corrected-logical-qubits","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-quantum-computing-podcast-with-fexingo-qubits-quantum-hardware-and-future-computing-7871946","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-quantum-computing-podcast/episode-0051.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-quantum-computing-podcast/episode-0051.mp3","summary":"Episode 51 of The Quantum Computing Podcast dives into the race to build the first error-corrected logical qubit that outperforms physical qubits. Lucas and Luna trace the recent milestone from Google's Willow chip to new surface-code experiments, explaining why logical qubits matter for fault-tolerant quantum computing and how the current 10:1 physical-to-logical ratio is shrinking. They also discuss the practical trade-offs: more qubits vs. better gates, and why 2026 might be the year the field crosses the critical 'break-even' threshold. A concrete look at the engineering challenge defining the next phase of quantum hardware. #QuantumComputing #LogicalQubits #ErrorCorrection #SurfaceCode #GoogleWillow #FaultTolerant #Qubits #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #QuantumHardware #Cryogenics #QuantumErrorCorrection #BreakEven #QuantumSupremacy #QuantumVolume #Scalability #QuantumEngineering Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Episode 51 of The Quantum Computing Podcast dives into the race to build the first error-corrected logical qubit that outperforms physical qubits.
