Programming Throwdown, Episode 147 Quantum Computing with Yonatanin Cohn. Take it away, Patrick.

Hey everyone, welcome to another episode.

Today, I'm excited to be able to have someone

to talk to about quantum computing.

This is something even dating back many years

that I've been intrigued about.

I've read various superficial descriptions of,

but never really been able to go in depth about with quantum computing.

And I'm excited that we're here today with Janitin Cohen,

co-founder and CTO of quantum machines.

Welcome to Programming Throwdown. Hi, it's great to be here. Thank you for

inviting me. Awesome. Well, we normally get started by a little bit of an introduction about yourself,

how you got into technology. Some people have like that one time they remember that, you know,

maybe their parents brought home a computer or they went to school and the Oregon Trail was put in on a floppy disk. Do you sort of remember your first, like, exposure to computers

or technology? To computers in general? Yes. So, yeah, I did get a computer at the very early

stage. And I was also very interested in physics, in fundamental physics, since I was very young.

But really, I got into quantum computing when I was at university.

So I did my bachelor's degree at the University of Washington in Seattle.

And I had a great teacher.

So it's all about teachers, you know.

So he's a professor at University of Washington.

His name is Boris Blinoff.
