Hosted by IBM Quantum editor-in-chief Ryan Mandelbaum, The Coherence Times aims to break down the wide and wonderful world of quantum computing into foundational lessons exploring the challenges and breakthroughs behind this generational technology. Every other week, Ryan will sit down with technologists, researchers, and leaders from the quantum community for a wide-ranging conversation about their work, exploring both the stories behind the science and the human ingenuity driving it all forward.
Each episode of The Coherence Times is carefully crafted to be fun and accessible for quantum enthusiasts at any level—whether you’re a student, a working quantum professional, or just someone who’s quantum curious. The first season of the series will focus on providing viewers and listeners with a new perspective on the most fundamental concepts in quantum hardware, software, and algorithms. As the series progresses, we’ll spend more and more time exploring the cutting-edge research and innovations that are pushing the field forward.
Catch new episodes of The Coherence Times every other week on Tuesdays at 7 a.m. Eastern Time.
