August 21, 2026 — Caltech's Quantum Sim Nails a 40-Year-Old Physics Call

Episode 47 Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description

Caltech says its team used a neutral-atom quantum simulator to directly measure forty-year-old conformal field theory predictions for the first time, raising the question of what 'useful quantum computing' really means today. Also: Rigetti reorganizes to scale on-premises deployments, Crypto4A claims a post-quantum hardware security first, Blockstream demos quantum-safe signatures on hardware wallets, an error-detection paper digest circulates on X, and Pasqal's SPAC merger gets a shareholder vote date.

Quickly Quantum is an AI-voiced podcast, built and run by a real person. Nothing in this episode is financial advice.
