Founders & Physicists

Roger Melko, Open Quantum Design co-founder, joined Steve Woods, Partner and CTO at Inovia Capital, for a fireside chat with Nabil Fahel at Founders & Physicists on Thursday, November 21. Read more.

One Atom at a Time

Dr. Rajibul Islam gave a public lecture about open quantum computing and how to build quantum bits out of individually isolated atoms at IQC, University of Waterloo on April 17, 2024. 

  • Q2B23 hosted an Open Source Panel discussion featuring Unitary Fund’s Will Zeng, OQD’s Roger Melko and Zvonimir Bandic, and US Department of Energy’s Rima Oueid. The following excerpt joins the conversation already in progress and provides excellent insights into the power of "open."

Georgie & William Podcast

Discover intriguing conversations on all things open quantum with Georgie & William.

Powered by artificial intelligence, the Georgie & William podcast inspires and sparks curiosity about the world of open quantum. Listen along as their friendly banter derived from articles and papers authored by subject matter experts provides insightful perspective on all things open quantum. (And remember to smile when they mispronounce some quantum words - they are still learning!)

A Site-Resolved 2D Quantum Simulator

In this episode, Georgie & William talk about ion traps, vacuums, and why the quantum computations are conducted at 6.1 Kelvin - that's colder than outer space! Listen as they discuss "A Site-Resolved 2D Quantum Simulator with Hundreds of Trapped Ions" (arXiv:2311.17163v2 [quant-ph] 11 Apr 2024).

Measuring the Economic Value of Open Source

How do you measure the value of something that is free? Georgie & William take a deep dive  into the economics of open-source, discussing the report by The Linux Foundation Measuring the Value of Open Source (March 2023).  



Quantum for Good

From designing new materials, improved medicines, and sustainable fertilizer production, the power of quantum can help solve real world problems. Georgie and William discuss the paper Quantum for Good and the Societal Impact of Quantum Computing (Microsoft).

Logical computation demonstrated

In this episode, Georgie and William talk about entangled qubits, bizarre cat states, and error-correction moving from theory to practice. Listen as they discuss the paper "Logical computation demonstrated with a neutral atom quantum processor" (arXiv:2411.11822v1 [quant-ph] 18 Nov 2024).
