Episode Details

In this episode, Frank and Andy welcome our first guest to the show.

Dr Mark Jackson is a Quantum Evangelist at Cambridge Quantum Computing, which may just be the best job title I have ever heard.

This episode is entitled "What and Why Quantum Computing?" and is rated one and a half Schroedingers. It could be 2 Schroedingers or just one. You will have to observe the entire episode to collapse the wave function.

Hello and welcome to impact quantum. 

00:00:02 BAILey 

A podcast about quantum computing for developers and engineers. 

00:00:06 BAILey 

In this episode, Frank and Andy welcome our first guest to the show. 

00:00:11 BAILey 

Doctor Mark Jackson is a quantum evangelist at Cambridge Quantum Computing, which may just be the best job title I have ever heard. 

00:00:19 BAILey 

This episode is entitled what and why Quantum Computing and is rated 1 1/2 Schrodinger's. 

00:00:26 BAILey 

It could be. 

00:00:27 BAILey 

Two Schrodinger's or just one. 

00:00:29 BAILey 

You will have to observe the entire episode to collapse the wavefunction. 

00:00:33 BAILey 

Now on. 

00:00:34 BAILey 

With the show. 

00:00:36 BAILey 

But first, here's some dubstep. 

00:00:47 Frank 

Hello and welcome to impact quantum. 

00:00:51 Frank 

The podcast where we. 

00:00:52 Frank 

Explore this new. 

00:00:53 Frank 

Field of quantum computing from an engineer's perspective. Maybe you're a software engineer. Maybe you're a data engineer. 

00:00:59 Frank 

But you keep hearing about this thing called quantum computing, which is going to change everything. 

00:01:04 Frank 

And I happen to believe that it will change everything, and to that end I. 

00:01:07 Frank 

Hey I have my trusty co-host from data driven. 

00:01:11 Frank 

With me Andy Leonard. 

00:01:12 Andy 

Hey Frank, thanks for for bringing me along as folks will quickly learn, you know way more about quantum computing. 

00:01:20 Andy 

Than I do. 

00:01:21 Andy 

So I guess I'm just here for my pretty faves. 

00:01:24 Frank 

Of course, of course we are. 

00:01:25 Frank 

Actually recording this in video on teams, but come with me with us for the first time in impact quantum history. 

00:01:33 Frank 

We have a guest and it's Doctor Mark Jackson. 

00:01:36 Frank 

Uh, who has probably the coolest job title I have heard in about a decade or two? 

00:01:43 Frank 

Welcome to the show. 

00:01:43 Frank 

Mark, you're our first guest ever. 

00:01:45 Dr. Mark Jackson 

Thank you Frank. 

00:01:46 Dr. Mark Jackson 

Thank you Andy. 

00:01:47 Dr. Mark Jackson 

It's great to be here. 

00:01:49 Frank 

Uh, so as Andy said, you know, I do. 

00:01:52 Frank 

When I you know I would use the term knows more as a very relative term part of the if you're listening to the show and you've listened to the archives. 

00:02:01 Frank 

Part of the reason why we haven't had a lot of shows is because I really kind of hit my cerebral limit at the time to talk about so. 

00:02:09 Frank 

Given that quantum is still a relatively new field and there's a shortage of experts in the field, but I think you know we were. 

00:02:17 Frank 

I was blessed to get in contact with Mark where we can talk about kind of this with an expert because he's a quantum evangelist. 

00:02:27 Dr. Mark Jackson 

Yes, it's a. 

00:02:28 Dr. Mark Jackson 

It's a pleasure to be here and I am Cambridge, quantum quantum evangelist. 

00:02:33 Dr. Mark Jackson 

I'm glad you like my title
