We continue our stimulating conversation with <a href="https://twitter.com/jfitzsimons">Joe Fitzsimons</a>, CEO and founder of <a href="https://www.horizonquantum.com/">Horizon Quantum Computing</a>. After last episode's exploration of Joe's reasoned case for an optimistic future for quantum computing, we dig into Horizon's development of compiling tools that Joe hopes will unlock broad performance advantages from future quantum devices. <a href="https://computerhistory.org/">Computer History Museum</a> <a href="https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/A-logical-calculus-of-the-ideas-immanent-in-nervous-McCulloch-Pitts/090c5a5df345ab60c41d6de02b3e366e1a27cf43">McCullough-Pitts paper on artificial neurons</a> <a href="https://qiskit.org/textbook/ch-applications/hhl_tutorial.html">A guide to the HHL algorithm from the excellent qiskit open source textbook</a>

Probability First: Understanding Quantum Computing with James Whitfield

Your host, Sebastian Hassinger, interviews brilliant research scientists, software developers, engineers and others actively exploring the possibilities of our new quantum era. 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.
