In this episode, Frank and Andy welcome our first guest to the show.

Dr Mark Jackson is a Quantum Evangelist at Cambridge Quantum Computing, which may just be the best job title I have ever heard.

This episode is entitled "What and Why Quantum Computing?" and is rated one and a half Schroedingers. It could be 2 Schroedingers or just one. You will have to observe the entire episode to collapse the wave function.

Hello and welcome to impact quantum.

00:00:02 BAILey

A podcast about quantum computing for developers and engineers.

In this episode, Frank and Andy welcome our first guest to the show.

00:00:11 BAILey

Doctor Mark Jackson is a quantum evangelist at Cambridge Quantum Computing, which may just be the best job title I have ever heard.

00:00:19 BAILey

This episode is entitled what and why Quantum Computing and is rated 1 1/2 Schrodinger's.

00:00:26 BAILey

It could be.

00:00:27 BAILey

Two Schrodinger's or just one.

00:00:29 BAILey

You will have to observe the entire episode to collapse the wavefunction.

00:00:33 BAILey

Now on.

00:00:34 BAILey

With the show.

00:00:36 BAILey

But first, here's some dubstep.

00:00:47 Frank

Hello and welcome to impact quantum.

00:00:51 Frank

The podcast where we.

00:00:52 Frank

Explore this new.

00:00:53 Frank

Field of quantum computing from an engineer's perspective. Maybe you're a software engineer. Maybe you're a data engineer.

00:00:59 Frank

But you keep hearing about this thing called quantum computing, which is going to change everything.

00:01:04 Frank

And I happen to believe that it will change everything, and to that end I.

00:01:07 Frank

Hey I have my trusty co-host from data driven.

00:01:11 Frank

With me Andy Leonard.

00:01:12 Andy

Hey Frank, thanks for for bringing me along as folks will quickly learn, you know way more about quantum computing.

00:01:20 Andy

Than I do.

00:01:21 Andy

So I guess I'm just here for my pretty faves.

00:01:24 Frank

Of course, of course we are.

00:01:25 Frank

Actually recording this in video on teams, but come with me with us for the first time in impact quantum history.

00:01:33 Frank

We have a guest and it's Doctor Mark Jackson.

00:01:36 Frank

Uh, who has probably the coolest job title I have heard in about a decade or two?

00:01:43 Frank

Welcome to the show.

00:01:43 Frank

Mark, you're our first guest ever.

00:01:45 Dr. Mark Jackson

Thank you Frank.

00:01:46 Dr. Mark Jackson

Thank you Andy.

00:01:47 Dr. Mark Jackson

It's great to be here.

00:01:49 Frank

Uh, so as Andy said, you know, I do.

00:01:52 Frank

When I you know I would use the term knows more as a very relative term part of the if you're listening to the show and you've listened to the archives.

00:02:01 Frank

Part of the reason why we haven't had a lot of shows is because I really kind of hit my cerebral limit at the time to...
