Sebastian Hassinger (The New Quantum Era): why neutral atoms lead the qubit race for now
Sebastian Hassinger and Yuval Boger discuss the current state of quantum computing, specifically the advantages of neutral atom technology. The conversation highlights their respective new books and the collaborative nature of the quantum industry.
Why it matters
It provides insight into the technical trends and professional community dynamics within the emerging quantum computing sector.
Yuval Boger interviews Sebastian Hassinger, host of The New Quantum Era podcast, and author of a new book by the same name. Sebastian and I have many things in common beyond our jobs in quantum. We are both podcasters, neither of us has a PhD, and we are both authors of new books – Sebastian’s The New Quantum Era, and my Quantum Bits, the Comic Book Guide to Quantum Computing. In a conversation that is more symmetric than the typical episode, we compare notes about the motivation and process of writing these books, explaining quantum computing for non-physicists, debate Sebastian’s modality forecast, speak about our hypothetical dinner guests and much more.
Yuval: Hello, Sebastian. Thank you for joining me today.
