Quantum computers have the potential to solve some valuable scientific problems faster, more accurately, or more cost-effectively than any classical computer. They haven't reached this point yet, but when they do, they will have achieved what we call "quantum advantage," a long sought scientific and engineering milestone that will mark the beginning of an exciting new era of computation. So, when will quantum advantage arrive? What methods are researchers and developers to enable their search for advantage? How will we know when it gets here? In this episode of The Coherence Times, we sit down with IBM Principal Research Scientist Abhinav Kandala to discover how, and when, quantum computers will beat classical computers.

Description

The Coherence Times podcast serves to break down the challenging world of quantum computing into foundational lessons exploring the challenges and the breakthroughs of this era defining generational tech. 
In this podcast, our host Ryan Mandelbaum will speak to technologists, researchers, and quantum leaders to discover the fascinating world of quantum computing, gaining a deeper understanding of how this technology works, and the tremendous potential quantum computing promises.
As quantum is an emerging technology, this podcast must appeal to all listeners, while promoting an accurate and hype-free view about the technology and its potential. Therefore, it will level with its listeners and feature a curious tone, while always sticking to facts and realistic presentations of the material. We will be earnest and joyful leaving snark for rare and warranted cases, such as for mythbusting popular news.
