insideQuantum tells the human stories behind cutting-edge developments in quantum technology, with the aim of highlighting the diverse range of people behind the amazing discoveries powering the quantum revolution. Each episode features a different guest, chosen from a wide variety of backgrounds, jobs and career stages, including guests from both academia and industry. Over the course of a 30-40 minute chat we'll hear all about their story, and how they got to where they are now. What got them interested in quantum physics? Where did they start, what has their journey so far been like, what advice do they have for others interested in getting into the field, and what do they think the future holds for quantum technologies?

episode 4: S2E4: The Future of Quantum Computing with Dr Oliver Brown
What can quantum computers really do for us? Take a listen to Season 2, Episode 4 of insideQuantum to find out!
This week, Dr Oliver Brown takes us on a journey through the hype surrounding quantum computing and find out just what they can and can’t do - and why they’ll never entirely replace classical computers.
Dr Brown obtained his PhD from Heriot-Watt University, and is now a Chancellor’s Fellow at the Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre (EPCC) and the University of Edinburgh. (At the time of recording, Dr Brown was a Quantum Software Architect at EPCC, but has since been awarded the prestigious Chancellor’s Fellowship.)
