How to get more engineers entangled with quantum computing
Katzgraber reflects on his time as a university professor up until 2020 and why he switched to working at Amazon.
He walks us through a quantum computing challenge that he hosted with BMW, through his role at Amazon (and what real world applications he sees emerging from these types of collaboration experiments).
We discuss what inspires him to stay curious — raising the bar for scientific research, crowdsourcing breakthroughs, and opening up the playing field for more people to jump in.
Follow Ben, Ryan, Matt, and Helmut.
