And the Hello and welcome to Serious Inqueers Only, this is episode 442.

I'm your host Thomas Smith and happy Quantum Day everyone last week or so. It's a little late but

happy Quantum Day when that was and in the spirit of it being the week after Quantum Day

we've got a great Quantum episode for you. But in the meantime, Quantum

Ann is back. Reminder, Quantum Ann works literally in this field, but she does work for the government, so she

wants to remain semi-anonymous here and so we

refer to her as Quantum Anne but she wanted to tell us about some quantum technology

and explore the question of, is quantum better?

Like what really is quantum technology?

There's so much buzz about it, there's so many headlines,

and it's always so hard to, as a layperson, be able to tell what's real what's BS so she's got a bit of a

guide for us as to what areas of quantum technology there are and what's real and what's only theoretical and where the

potential is. We're actually not talking about quantum computing because we've

already covered that quite a bit but quantum other stuff. There's a few other

areas where quantum technology seems very promising or perhaps already exists and you didn't realize it and

Quantum Ann is going to take us through it. Can't wait. So let's get on over to that before we do.
