How Quantum Computers Could Change the World

Ben Bloom is the co-founder and CEO of Atom Computing, a company building quantum computers out of individual atoms. Ben’s problem is this: How do you build a quantum computer that is actually useful for everything from discovering new medicines to building better batteries? In this episode, Ben explains: • The practical applications of quantum computers • Atom Computing’s approach using individual neutral atoms as qubits • The key engineering challenge of scaling while maintaining accuracy • The playbook for commercializing quantum computing Connect with us: • Follow Jacob Goldstein on LinkedIn • , X • and Instagram • Email us at problem@pushkin.fm • • Follow Pushkin on Instagram • , LinkedIn • or X • • Listen to Jacob’s other show, (00:21:23) Business History • To listen to the show early and ad free, sign up for Pushkin+ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
