Show Notes
What actually sits inside a quantum computer? This episode goes beyond the hype to explore the physical engineering of quantum hardware. From superconducting qubits and trapped ions to the extreme cooling of dilution refrigerators, we unpack the complex machinery that makes quantum computation possible—and why it needs a classical computer to babysit it.
