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":"Quantum Computing Needs a New Kind of Memory","slug":"quantum-computing-needs-a-new-kind-of-memory","published_at":"2026-06-20T08:37:53+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-quantum-computing-podcast-with-fexingo-qubits-quantum-hardware-and-future-computing-7871946/quantum-computing-needs-a-new-kind-of-memory","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-0062.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-quantum-computing-podcast/episode-0062.mp3","summary":"Episode 62 of The Quantum Computing Podcast with Fexingo dives into the memory bottleneck facing quantum computers. Lucas and Luna explore why today's classical RAM can't keep up with qubit error correction, and how a startup called Qunnect is building a quantum memory system using diamond defects. They break down the specific challenge: logical qubits require thousands of physical qubits, and each error-correction cycle needs to store and retrieve intermediate results faster than decoherence destroys them. The episode walks through the concept of a quantum cache, the physics of nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond, and the trade-offs between optical and microwave readout. A concrete look at one of quantum computing's most overlooked hardware problems. #QuantumComputing #QuantumMemory #Technology #Qubits #ErrorCorrection #DiamondDefects #Qunnect #NitrogenVacancy #QuantumCache #Decoherence #LogicalQubits #QuantumHardware #Cryogenics #RAM #QuantumComputingPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Episode 62 of The Quantum Computing Podcast with Fexingo dives into the memory bottleneck facing quantum computers.
