Shima, Will, Marcin and Vehicle Production Planning - Episode 12

Aug 18 2023 19 mins  
Recently, Zapata AI, BMW, and MIT's Center for Quantum Engineering collaborated to solve a complex problem: how can you most efficiently schedule vehicle production? This problem needs to take into account many many variables, so how did the team optimize the process? With AI of course! Listen to this episode to find out more about how exactly they did and what results they fou

Yudong Cao and Quantum Generative AI - Episode 11

Mar 10 2023 44 mins  
Large, generative machine learning models are almost everywhere today, but sometimes they run into some trouble. In today's episode Yudong Cao joins us to talk about how generative AI can be used for more than just toy problems, what business use cases will benefit from it, and how quantum computing ties in. Plus, we dive into synthetic data and tensor networks! The Near-term

Bob Sorensen and Quantum Computing's Tie to HPC - Episode 10

Aug 19 2022 42 mins  
Quantum computing is an incredibly complex industry, how can someone possibly attempt to understand where the current state is and where it’s heading? Using data! That’s exactly what Bob Sorensen does as Chief Analyst for Quantum Computing at Hyperion Research. In his analysis he views quantum computing through the lens of high performance computing, drawing parallels and illum
