#FactsMatter, the Citizens Research Council of Michigan podcast
Detroit Free Press reporter Arpan Lobo guest hosts the Facts Matter podcast, produced by the Citizens Research Council. Arpan, who recently wrote about Consumers Energy getting the OK to bury power lines in 6 Michigan counties, interviews Citizens Research Council analyst Eric Dennis, who issued a report this time last year about the benefits of undergrounding electrical lines but, that without a coherent state policy to enable it, it will not happen. It's rarely considered due to cost considerations that assume the utility will bear the full cost. However, as Dennis argues, the cost can be mitigated if undergrounding is done in collaboration with others. Listen to Lobo and Dennis discuss this and how Michigan should pursue policies that facilitate and compel multi-agency ‘dig-once' project coordination to underground distribution lines.
No guest this episode! Instead, Kevin and Sebastian have a conversation looking back on the events of 2023 in quantum computing, wiht a particular focus on three trends: some waning of enthusiasm in the private sector, a surge of investments from the public sector as national and regional governments invest in the quantum computing value chain and the shift from a focus on NISQ to logical qubits. Qureca's overview of public sector quantum initiatives in 2023Preskill's NISQ paper from 2018 (yes, I was off by a few years!)The paper that introduced the idea of VQE: A variational eigenvalue solver on a quantum processor by Peruzzo et alA variation on VQE that still has some promise An adaptive variational algorithm for exact molecular simulations on a quantum computer by Grimsley et alMitiq, a quantum error mitigation framework from Unitary FundPeter Shor's first of its kind quantum error correction in the paper Scheme for reducing decoherence in quantum computer memoryQuantinuum demonstrates color codes to implement a logical qubit on their ion trap machine, H-1Toric codes introduced in Fault-tolerant quantum computation by anyons by Alexei KitaevSurface codes and topological qubits introduced in Topological quantum memory by Eric Dennis, Alexei Kitaev, Andrew Landahl, and John PreskillThe threshold theorem is laid out in Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computation With Constant Error Rate by Dorit Aharonov and Michael Ben-OrThe GKP variation on the surface code appears in Encoding a qubit in an oscillator by Daniel Gottesman, Alexei Kitaev, John PreskillA new LDPC based chip architecture is described in High-threshold and low-overhead fault-tolerant quantum memory by Sergey Bravyi, Andrew W.

Google just accidentally announced "Quantum Supremacy", and the news has gone wild about fully functional quantum computers just around the corner. I chat to a quantum computing expert Eric Dennis about Google's "Quantum Supremacy". What does this mean for cryptocurrency? Could the cryptography of cryptocurrency be broken? Is the cryptography protecting our daily internet activities still safe? Will quantum computers mean fully predictive climate models and data processing like the media suggests, or are they delusional? video: https://youtu.be/gJJ7P1d9dL8
In 2008, when Al Gore called for America to get 100 percent from its electricity from renewables in 10 years, he was widely mocked by opponents. Even supporters who understood it was a rhetorical point quietly knew how difficult it would be to achieve. But suppose the timeframe were stretched out to 2050. Would it really be that crazy? Some models show it’s possible; skeptics say the models are widely unrealistic. This week, in place of the Energy Gang, we feature a debate between two experts on the issue. Mark Jacobson, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Stanford University faces off against Eric Dennis, a senior fellow at the Center for Industrial Progress. The two men will debate the following motion: “American can, and should, get 100% of its energy from renewables by 2050.” This podcast is sponsored by Renesola, a tier-one solar cell and module manufacturer with a decade of experience in the cleantech industry. The Energy Gang is produced by Greentechmedia.com. The show features weekly discussions between energy futurist Jigar Shah, energy policy expert Katherine Hamilton and Greentech Media Editor Stephen Lacey.
