Into the quantum realm we go with the brilliant Prineha Narang.
Narang earned her PhD in applied physics at Caltech, taught materials science at Harvard and now has her own lab at UCLA. The lab focuses on quantum materials, non-equilibrium dynamics, photonics, quantum information science and other easily digestible areas. Beyond her academic career, Narang is a science advisor to the government and a venture capitalist at DCVC.
As you might imagine, we get into quantum computing and quantum technology in this episode. Quantum vs. AI, the US vs. China, when quantum tech will break encryption, quantum sensing and whether or not quantum technology actually has a bright future. The quantum sensing portion of the chat was all new to me and rather astonishing.
Since Narang is also a competitive runner and mountaineer, we provide some top tips on gear because that is just the kind of all-purpose podcast that we deliver.

I'm on with @PrinehaN talking quantum computing and the fate of encryption today at The Frontier!
We talk about the latest results from Google/Oratomic, post-quantum crypto, and how long it'll take for quantum scientists to get the respect they deserve:

Lots of exciting things happening in the quantum world, which as @PrinehaN and I have written is increasingly breaking out of the lab and into the market and the battlefield. Listen up!

Congratulations @regardthefrost ! Look forward to your leadership of @NSF.
I’m extremely honored to be nominated by President Trump to serve as Director of the National Science Foundation.
Heroic scientists have always challenged consensus to advance the frontiers of knowledge. Recently, many institutions have weakened academic freedom and lost the trust they once enjoyed. Yet across our country, a new golden age of discovery is dawning. Information is open source and debate is public.
The marketplace of ideas is not an efficient market. Finding and funding independent thinkers and builders has taught me to eliminate bottlenecks and favor rigorous science that replicates. Private funders are developing frontier models and useful technology. Government should take bigger financial risks to pose and answer deeper questions.
NSF’s scientists and staff have built something worth strengthening. Working together, scientists, engineers, investors, research institutions, and businesses can support American genius, enhance national security, enrich our economy, and improve our quality of life.
Entropy is on the march and China is not waiting.

Thanks to the @NASAJPL workforce for coming out this weekend - it was great to hear from you directly and it was even more impressive to see the projects and hardware you are working on.
JPL has made historic contributions to science and discovery: rovers, telescopes, countless sensors and instruments, and so much more… now we need to find out how to do a lot more of it 💪🔭

Great piece covering a pretty cool breakthrough. @PrinehaN rightly points out Google’s advancement on algorithms and software is a big deal for bringing applications and services to market. Quantum tech is breaking out the lab…
Nice Quantum piece by @CadeMetz today in @nytimes.
Yours truly even makes a few appearances! rb.gy/mjt82s

The U.S. has long been home to a vast amount of high-value manufacturing—whether of chemicals, electronics, machinery, vehicles, or foods. We see tremendous opportunity in fully modernizing all of it.

Stay tuned for Part 2, where we examine the current state of quantum supply chains, where US companies are most exposed, and provide some ideas on how we can fortify and expand access to critical inputs for this new class of technologies.

QT will help improve existing processes, but really should be thought of as a distinct technology, moreso like a GPT, or new platform for technological advancement.

Today, @WarOnTheRocks published the first piece of what will be a four-part series from @NarangLab and I on US Quantum Competitiveness. The US is a leader in academic research and corporate R&D, but as we will discuss in this and following pieces, such a position is far from secure.
