For years, quantum computing has sounded like something straight out of science fiction. Now, it’s getting real. The industry is rapidly advancing, major breakthroughs are coming into view, and quantum could soon begin reshaping everyday life—just as artificial intelligence has in recent years.
In this episode, WGA's Communications Specialist Eli Jaynes speaks with Colorado Governor Jared Polis, University of New Mexico Professor Ivan Deutsch, and Atom Computing’s Chief Product Officer, Justin Ging. Together they discuss the state of the industry and where it’s headed next.
He also speaks with Professor Heather Lewandowski from the University of Colorado-Boulder and Gwen Leifer from Lockheed Martin about efforts to develop a quantum workforce capable of taking this industry to the next level.
