meet the meQuanics - Quantum Computing Discussions

Running from 2016 to 2022 with 82 episodes, meet the meQuanics built one of the deepest back catalogs of any quantum computing podcast. Hosted by Simon, the show positioned itself as quantum technology discussions targeted at the layperson, though the guest quality and topic depth often reached well beyond introductory material. The episode list reads like a survey course in quantum computing research. Guests came from the University of Sydney, UTS, and other major research institutions to discuss quantum algorithms, computational complexity, hardware platforms including superconducting qubits and silicon spin qubits, bosonic codes, error correction, noise spectroscopy, and quantum machine learning. The QSI at UTS Seminar Series episodes, which made up the later portion of the catalog, brought academic researchers directly to a podcast audience. The 4.9-star rating from 11 reviewers on Apple Podcasts reflects how well the show served its audience. Episodes typically ran 30 minutes to over an hour, giving guests time to actually explain their work rather than just summarize it. While the show has not released new episodes since April 2022, the catalog remains highly relevant. Quantum computing fundamentals have not changed, and the research discussions still represent some of the most accessible academic content available in podcast form. For anyone building a foundational understanding of quantum computing science, the back catalog here is a genuine resource worth working through systematically. The fact that it ran for six years means there is real breadth across different subfields and research questions.
