This podcast takes you behind the scenes into the world of quantum computing research: through conversations with researchers, we explore the latest and most exciting ideas in the field. The podcast is aimed at anyone interested in quantum computing. About the hosts: Vincent Russo (https://vprusso.github.io/) has a PhD in computer science. Software engineer by day and quantum engineer by night. William Slofstra (http://elliptic.space) is a mathematician at the University of Waterloo. Henry Yuen (http://henryyuen.net) is a computer scientist at Columbia University.

episode 1: The origin of the Mermin-Peres magic square
The Mermin-Peres magic square is a simple game which is at the heart of many results in quantum cryptography and quantum complexity theory. In this episode, we trace the origin of the Mermin-Peres square back to two short papers by N. David Mermin and Asher Peres.
Mermin's paper: https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.65.3373
Peres' paper: https://doi.org/10.1016/0375-9601(90)90172-K
Hosts: Vincent Russo (vprusso.github.io), William Slofstra (elliptic.space), Henry Yuen (henryyuen.net)
