(IQT QuantumTech Pod) Host Chris Bishop, today interviews Q-CTRL Founder & CEO, Michael Biercuk. Michael's J. Biercuk's experience is focused on the development and application of quantum control to help partners extract maximum performance from quantum technologies. The solutions he has developed through his startup Q-CTRL serve teams building quantum hardware as well as end-users seeking to put quantum computing to work for them. Michael's current commercial efforts leading the venture-capital-backed Q-CTRL are supported by experience in a Big-Three management consulting firm. He is a proficient networker and communicator with demonstrated ability to build connections with key stakeholders across academia, the corporate sector, and government. Professor Michael J. Biercuk is a global science and technology innovator building the greenfield quantum technology industry. He leads teams in both the technology industry and academia, with a focus on commercializing quantum technologies including quantum computing and quantum sensing. Michael completed is Masters and Phd at Harvard University. With international headquarters in Sydney, Los Angeles, and Berlin, Q-CTRL is building the quantum technology industry by overcoming the fundamental challenge in the field – hardware error and instability. Q-CTRL's quantum control infrastructure software for R&D professionals and quantum computing end users delivers the highest performance error-suppressing techniques globally, and provides a unique capability accelerating the pathway to the first useful quantum computers.
The NSW government has announced plans to work with Sydney quantum computing company Q-CTRL to look at innovation opportunities around the state's public transport networks. In particular, the idea is to look at ways quantum computing could assist in real-time updates during congested periods, like during events like New Year's Eve. Q-CTRL is a commercial operation that spun out of Sydney University.Google has been preparing to rollout a new alternative to third-party tracking cookies in web browsers but many privacy-focused services are already pushing back. Google calls its new system FLoC (Federated Learning of Cohorts) and says it is interest-based advertising and is privacy-friendly. However this week makers of the privacy-focused web browser Brave, which is based on the code Google's Chrome browser is based on, has stated it will block FLoC in its browser, arguing FLoC is harmful to web users, it will tell sites about your browsing history and make you easier to be tracked across the web. Brave argues Google is driving a false concept of privacy which needs to be defeated. Other organisations, including Electronic Frontiers Foundation, have similarly come out strongly against FLoC.Another security story today, as researchers found that WhatsApp makes it all too easy to deactivate someone else's account even if they have two-factor authentication switched on. This doesn't let someone take over your account, but as a way to disrupt your access it's very serious. The problem allows someone to fail to setup WhatsApp using your phone number, but then by contacting support they can have your account deactivated – by using any email address at all. The issue has been flagged with WhatsApp so hopefully a fix will arrive soon.Spotify has announced a new hardware unit to make it easier to enjoy Spotify in your car. And it's called Car Thing. The Car Thing is launching in the US-only as a limited release, but what makes it noteworthy is tactile features alongside voice commands to make it easy to use without looking. There's a big knob and a smaller back button, plus four preset buttons that will launch assigned playlists or podcasts. Being what Spotify calls an exploration, odds seem likely this will never reach Australia.In products we can buy, Microsoft has launched its new Surface Laptop 4 along with a headset, speaker and webcam to up its in-house conferencing game. Options on the laptop include AMD Ryzen processors as well as Intel Core, though not the newest Ryzen 5000 series which many would have hoped for. Microsoft maintains its uniquely tall 3:2 screen size here and is claiming up to 19 hours battery life on this latest rollout.On Mars, NASA has had to delay the first flight of the Ingenuity helicopter after pre-flight tests revealed the need for a software update. The flight had been hoped to take place last weekend and then today, but the delay is expected to be into next week at this stage. Good luck up there, team.Google has announced it is shutting down its Google Play Movies and TV app from smart TVs including Samsung, LG, and other brands. If you own movies or TV shows through the Google platform you will now be directed to access it all through the YouTube app.Finally, there's a new Transformers toy that needs a mention, with Hasbro unveiling the new Optimus Prime Auto-Converting Programmable Advanced Robot. Yes, as the name suggests it does the transforming all by itself, along with voice commands, driving features and its own app. If you want it, you'll need US$700 to get it.

Todays guest is Professor Michael Biercuk, Michael is a quantum physicist, innovator, and Director of the Quantum Control Laboratory at the University of Sydney and founder of Q-CTRL one of Australia's first Quantum Computing Startups. We talk Yoctonewtons, Quantum Computing, transitioning from Professor/Researcher to entrepreneur and a big announcement. Full Disclosure: Main Sequence Ventures was one of the original seed investors in Q-CTRL.
Prof. Biercuk is a quantum physicist, innovator, and Director of the Quantum Control Laboratory at the University of Sydney. His group is working to develop a new generation of advanced technologies powered by the phenomena in quantum physics - Quantum Tech. As an expert in quantum physics and quantum technology Michael is also the founder and CEO of Q-CTRL, a quantum technology company. Q-CTRL is supported entirely by venture capital and operates from the campus of the University of Sydney. Earlier this year he spoke at SXSW on Investing in Game-Changing Deep Tech and has since had several articles published on the same, exploring the connection between research, deep tech and commercialisation.
This is such a fascinating interview and unlike any other we've done on The Make It Happen Show. Michael Biercuk is the Founder and CEO of Q-CTRL, Australia's first venture-backed quantum computing startup. Don't let the science-talk put you off - in this interview, Michael tells us exactly how he made that happen, gives advice for brining investors on board, and also takes us through how, as a professor of quantum physics, he's juggled the worlds of academia and business.
A COMMITMENT TO CONTRIBUTING Researcher, quantum physicist, forward thinker, truth seeker and founder of Q-Ctrl, a company steadying the downside of human innovation into the unknown field of quantum physics. Professor Michael Biercuk is one of my favourite episodes thus far. Michael shone during this conversation with his innate ability to interpret and answer questions with logic, precision and a level of thought to inspire your mind to a clearer space of thinking. Professor Biercuk’s specific question was: “Working at the forefront of technologies that will change the future, every idea is one that could alter the world’s path. What’s most important about life changing ideas; their obscurity, their size or the passion behind those who have them?” Though we do speak on his academic expertise, quantum physics, and his venture with Q-Control… Michael’s thought processing felt so unique that we were fortunate to cover many subjects to inspire our listener – ‘freedom’ or a ‘fair-go’, two types of naysayers, the will to contribute as well as plenty of other in-depth foresights.
