What is quantum computing? and how might it impact our society? In this episode of Talk That Science, we sit down with Pablo Cova Fariña, a PhD student at the research institute for quantum computing and quantum internet to unpack the core principles of quantum physics, like superposition and entanglement, and discover how they're being harnessed to build the supercomputers of tomorrow. Pablo also tells us about his cutting-edge research using chips to simulate real-world materials, giving us a glimpse into work as a researcher and the exciting future of quantum technology. Plus, we discuss this emerging field's potential benefits, risks, and challenges – all between some great music!
