0:31the properties of quantum mechanics. >> Okay. Hello internet. This is your captain speaking Lester Narre joined as always by my co-host and our resident PhD Krishna Chowdery. We are excited to start part one of what will be a two-part deep dive on quantum computing covering the recent cover story in nature volume 655 issue 8125 released on July 30th 2026 featuring our resident physicist Krishna as a co-author on the cover paper of
1:11nature. We are very excited uh about this. This is going to be right in the wheelhouse of the show and there were so much to talk about. We're going to spread it over two episodes. As always, we are going to talk about the science from the ground up today because this is from first principles.
From How Quantum Computing Actually Works (Part 1)
Part I of our quantum computing deep dive traces the field from Bell and Feynman to Deutsch and Shor—and explains what quantum computers actually do differently from classical machines.
