Summary

In this crossover episode, Yuval Boger interviews Sebastian Hassinger, host of The New Quantum Era podcast and author of a new book by the same name. Both are podcasters and authors without PhDs, and they discuss their motivations for writing books to explain quantum computing to non-physicists. Sebastian shares his journey from an outsider in the field to a consultant with nearly a decade of experience, while Yuval talks about his role at QuEra and his comic book guide. They compare their writing processes, with Sebastian taking two years and Yuval two months, and discuss the challenges of making complex concepts accessible. They also debate the pace of quantum development relative to classical computing, and Sebastian offers his forecast on quantum modalities. The conversation is informal and focuses on personal experiences and insights rather than technical details.
