Ep 8: Mark Jackson talks about quantum computing and its applications.

This conversation caused all of us to substantially revise our opinions about the viability of near-future commercial uses of quantum computing, and we hope you find it as thought provoking as we did. Dr. Mark Jackson is the Scientific Lead at Cambridge Quantum Computing. He received his B.S. in Physics and Mathematics from Duke University and Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics from Columbia University. He then spent 10 years researching superstring theory and cosmology, co-authoring almost 40 technical articles. To promote the public understanding of science, he founded the science crowdfunding platform Fiat Physica and non-profit Science Partnership Fund. He is Adjunct Faculty at Singularity University and a Director of Astronomers Without Borders. To contact Futurist Thomas Frey, please use any of the following methods:Website: www.futuristspeaker.comEmail: [email protected]: 303-666-4133 Learn more about your ad choices.
