Dancing with Qubits - A Conversation with Dr. Bob Sutor
Welcome to Impact Quantum, where curiosity meets real-world quantum insight! In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Bob Sutor—yes, the Bob Sutor—author of "Dancing with Qubits" and CEO of the Sutor Group Intelligence and Advisory. With decades of experience in computing, Bob brings a rare blend of wisdom, clarity, and wit to the conversation.Join us as we dive deep into the rapidly evolving quantum industry. We uncover why there are 85 quantum hardware companies (and why that number is likely to shrink), debate the eternal hype cycle versus real breakthroughs, and explore why quantum computing careers might just be tailor-made for today’s teenagers. Along the way, you’ll learn about the shifting balance between classical and quantum coding, get candid advice on navigating technical press releases, and hear how the software revolution could soon outpace hardware innovations in quantum—just like it did in the early days of the PC industry.Whether you’re a seasoned quantum pro or new to the field, this episode will leave you smarter, more skeptical, and certainly more quantum curious.
