What can quantum computers really do for us? Take a listen to Season 2, Episode 4 of insideQuantum to find out!
This week, Dr Oliver Brown takes us on a journey through the hype surrounding quantum computing and find out just what they can and can’t do - and why they’ll never entirely replace classical computers.
Dr Brown obtained his PhD from Heriot-Watt University, and is now a Chancellor’s Fellow at the Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre (EPCC) and the University of Edinburgh.

Do superconducting qubits hold the solution to making quantum computing practical? Take a listen to Season 2, Episode 5 of insideQuantum to find out!
This week, Dr Yvonne Gao explains one of the key technologies behind the latest developments in quantum computing, and tells us why superconducting qubits have become a widely-used platform that has allowed for the recent rapid progress.
Dr Gao studied at the University of Oxford, followed by a PhD at Yale University and some time as a Research Scientist at A*STAR before starting her own research group as an Assistant Professor at the National University of Singapore.
