Episode 286: How quantum computing could break the world…and fix it again
Description
Could you play Minecraft on a quantum computer?
In this episode, we’re joined by Professor Susan Coppersmith from the University of New South Wales to explore the strange and fascinating world of quantum computing.
We talk about why quantum computers are so different from the ones we use every day, what a qubit is, what makes this technology so powerful, and how it could reshape things like encryption and digital security.
This episode peeks into a future that’s already being built—qubit by qubit.
