S3E25 - When Energy Costs More Than Speed – Rethinking Quantum Computing

Welcome to Impact Quantum, the podcast where curiosity meets cutting-edge technology and quantum concepts get untangled for everyone—no physics PhD required. In this episode, hosts Frank La Vigne and Candace Gillhoolley sit down with Clark Alexander, mathematician, quantum thinker, co-founder of Enerjuice, and self-proclaimed flaneur. Together, they dive into the unexpected intersections of quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and the energy markets.

Clark shares insights from his recent experience as a juror at Egypt’s first national quantum hackathon, unpacks the real-world energy demands of quantum hardware, and challenges some industry assumptions about quantum advantage and supremacy. From...
