Squeezing every bit of performance out of a NISQ-era quantum processor is usually handled in the software stack. But what if you could actually design QPUs for specific types of use cases? Anastasia Marchenkova is working on this approach at Bleximo and the result has been a remarkable boost to speed. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat about the possibilities of these application-specific quantum computers, as well as the terrific awareness work Anastasia has been doing for years.For more on Bleximo, visit https://bleximo.com/.To read Anastasia’s blogs or follow her social media, visit https://www.amarchenkova.com/.Watch the video of this episode at www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BvDbNcufnM.
