0:30>> Yeah. >> And scaling is the future. >> Hello internet. This is your captain speaking Lester Nar joined as always by my co-host and our resident PhD Krishna Chowdery. This is part two of our two-part deep dive on quantum computing. We are covering the recent nature cover story volume 655 issue 8125 released on July 30th 2026 and featuring our resident PhD Krishna as one of the co-authors. For those of you joining us from part one in the last episode we did a deep dive into the theoretical

As always, we are going to talk about the science from the ground up today because this is from first principles [music] only right in [music] the night. [singing] Exchange only cool and clean. Next logic [music] and a low noise scene. Exchange only bits. Do it with [singing] ease.
