The Quantum State

Three hosts bring very different strengths to this show. Anastasia Marchenkova handles the primary hosting duties, while Dr. Gavin Brennen and Dr. Peter Rohde contribute academic depth. The result is a podcast produced by BTQ Technologies Corp that manages to be both rigorous and listenable across its 19 episodes. The Quantum State focuses on research and innovation, featuring expert interviews and detailed analysis of quantum computing breakthroughs. A recent episode explored room-temperature quantum computing with Marcus Doherty from Quantum Brilliance, which gives you a sense of how current the show stays with emerging developments. Episodes typically run 45 minutes to over an hour, allowing genuine depth on each topic. The biweekly release schedule gives the team time to prepare well-researched episodes rather than reacting to every piece of quantum news. Having actual PhD researchers as co-hosts means the technical discussions have real substance behind them. Marchenkova asks questions that pull the conversation toward practical understanding, while Brennen and Rohde can push into theoretical territory when the topic demands it. The show covers quantum computing breakthroughs, company research progress, and innovative quantum products. For listeners who want their quantum computing information filtered through people with genuine academic credentials but presented in a conversational format, The Quantum State strikes that balance well.
