Pinned toot

Hello there! For our first toot, allow us to introduce ourselves.

insideQuantum is a telling the human stories behind cutting-edge developments in , with the aim of highlighting the diverse range of people behind the amazing discoveries powering the .

Each episode features a different guest, chosen from a wide variety of backgrounds, jobs and career stages, including guests from both academia and industry. Over the course of a 30-40 minute chat we’ll hear all about their story, and how they got to where they are now. What got them interested in ? Where did they start, what has their journey so far been like, what advice do they have for others interested in getting into the field, and what do they think the future holds for quantum technologies?

Working on an End-of-Season 1 Highlights episode with extracts from all our episodes so far.

What parts of our first season were your highlights, and why? 😃

So, you might be familiar with the idea of a 'conventional' artificial neural network, but what's a *neuromorphic* neural network? 🤔

Here's this week's guest Dr Stefanie Czischek (@sczischek) telling us about biologically inspired neural networks, and why they're so interesting!

In Episode 7, we talked to Ieva Čepaitė (@hyperboIeva) about what it'll take to make near-term quantum computing practical, and how we can make the most of different types of hardware for solving different problems.

We also chatted a bit about and science writing!

Coming soon - just started uploading and scheduling Monday's episode on all our various platforms! 😀

Next week we'll be hearing from Dr Stefanie Czischek about her work on applying biologically inspired neural networks to quantum systems!

In Episode 6, we did something a bit different and talked to Dr Monica Kang about black holes!

We learned all about the surprising connections between black holes (and the conformal field theory used to describe them) and error correcting codes used in quantum technologies.
