For the Love of Quantum

Ethan Hansen, Shwetha Jayaraj
About this episode

The return of the QCN podcast!! This episode was meant to release on February 14th!

Ethan's mic (quite literally) has been passed on to me, Shway, and I'll be the new host. I hope I do nearly as great of a job communicating the journey of learning quantum computing as he did...

Thank you my friend.

(Also congratulations to Ethan & his fiancée!!!!!)

I procrastinated on posting this. Expect more episodes on quantum computing technologies, with hopefully less procrastination. And as always, stay curious!
