Why Quantum Computing Changes What’s Possible with Princeton Dean of Engineering Andrew Houck (#290)
About this episode
The rules of quantum physics aren’t just strange - they’re usable. Particles can exist in multiple states at once. Observation can reshape reality.
Now, scientists are turning those quirks into machines that could solve problems today’s computers simply can’t touch.
Princeton Engineering Dean Andrew Houck breaks down what quantum computing really is, what it can (and can’t yet) do, and why it could transform fields from drug discovery to energy.
A clear-eyed look at the weirdest laws of the universe and the revolutionary technology they may soon power.
