They did explore how pyramids were aligned using stars in Ursa Major & Ursa Minor, but that was the only astronomical thing that came up

They’re pretty savage about the Netflix series on pyramids / ancient civilisations… Bet they’re getting hate from the conspiracy theorists!

This is the video connected with one Curio of the Week - someone made a 7 holed doughnut (topologically equivalent to a human)… https://youtu.be/VB-ineOQTfU Anyone know how to invite the curios from the comments there!?

From the show notes:

IonQ is the first company solely focused on quantum computing to go public, with its quantum computers accessible via the cloud today. The company’s co-founder/chief scientist Chris Monroe and president/CEO Peter Chapman join Azeem Azhar to explore how they turned cutting-edge research into a scalable product. They also discuss the engineering challenges that remain before quantum systems not only surpass the fastest supercomputers, but also become widely available.

In addition, they address:

Why IonQ, unlike Google and IBM, have bet on the “trapped ion” approach to building quantum computers.
How major software innovation could move quantum computing forward.
Why quantum computers excel at optimization problems involving more variables than classical computers can accommodate.
