Podcasts about Shohini Ghose

It seems that every few months, there's an exciting breakthrough in quantum computing, a kind of computing that takes advantage of quantum physics to perform calculations exponentially faster than our most advanced supercomputers. Last December, Google announced that its quantum computer solved a math problem in five minutes—a problem that would've taken a normal supercomputer longer than the age of the universe to solve. And earlier this month, Microsoft, coming off a quantum advance in the fall, told businesses to get “quantum-ready” for 2025, saying that “we are right on the cusp of seeing quantum computers solve meaningful problems.”So, are we on the cusp? Flora Lichtman is joined by Dr. Shohini Ghose, a quantum physicist and professor at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Canada and CTO of the Quantum Algorithms Institute, for a quantum computing check-in and a look at when this futuristic technology could start to have an impact on our lives.

We've heard a lot about Quantum computing and somehow it seems like it's nuclear fusion - there's all of these great advances that make the news, but the idea of actual use in business seems a long way off. For me, it seems… I understand it conceptually. I just can't figure out why its possible. Maybe its' because I grew up being able to see transistors and how they work and so even though the ability to put thousands and possibly millions of transistors on a silicon chip is a feat of engineering, I still sort of know how it works. But quantum. It's seems more like magic. Things that exist as probabilities, that can be linked over potentially vast distances and affect each other even without a know connection. Things that only truly exist in their state of uncertainty until you observe them. How does that work? Why does it work? So you hear about it, but it doesn't seem real somehow. I go back to my nuclear fusion parallel. Great idea. You can sustain it in some big lab for a couple of seconds but that's it. But lately, there are signs that quantum might be more real than we think. While we've heard of these quantum processors in large laboratories, IBM just announced that a US university will be getting an IBM quantum computer for research and teaching - and that they are going to do the same for several other universities in the US. Suddenly it seems a little more real. And as always, I'm interested in what's happening out in the big world, but I'm also wondering what is happening in Canada. And it turns out that there is some work being done here, advancing the idea of Quantum Computing in commercial usage. Quantum Algorithms Institute is a collaboration between government, the academic community, and Canada's growing sector of quantum computing companies. We work with companies across industries to build experience in the real-world application of quantum solutions. My guest today might make that even more real - she's with a program that is planning on teaching students to program for quantum computers. She's a professor at Wilfred Laurier University and the Chief Technology Officer of the Quantum Algorithms Institute My guest is Dr. Shohini Ghose......   Note: The link to the Quantum Algorithms Institute

A leading physicist herself, Shohini Ghose has wonderful stories about the trials and triumphs of the many mostly unsung women whose work helped open up the universe.

You might have heard of Einstein and Newton and Galileo, but can you name the woman whose work led to the discovery of the Big Bang, or the woman who toppled one of the most fundamental laws of physics, or the woman who landed a probe on a comet. Women have contributed to every major discovery ever made in physics and astronomy. Shohini Ghose thinks it's time to rewrite our history books to tell the full story.

Genom historien har många vetenskapliga upptäckter gjorda av kvinnor tillskrivits män. Så är också fallet inom astronomin och astrofysiken. För att berätta mer om dessa kvinnor som än i dag inte är särskilt kända och deras banbrytande forskning har Intergalaktiskt bjudit in Shohini Ghose, professor i fysik vid Wilfrid Laurier universitetet i Kanada och författare till boken Her Space, Her Time. I avsnittet pratar hon med Bill Burrau och Viktor Krylmark om hur man mäter avståndet till avlägsna galaxer och om vad stjärnor faktiskt består av. Dessutom, vad är grejen med att Bill inte kan se bilder framför sig? Vill du komma i kontakt med oss? Har önskemål på spännande rymdfenomen som vi borde prata om?

Physicist, professor, and author Shohini Ghose illuminates the unsung heroines of math, physics, and science in her new book “Her Space, Her Time: How Trailblazing Women Scientists Decoded the Hidden Universe.”We have all seen the images FROM the James Webb Space Telescope — the galaxies, stars, and nebulas — but we haven't really seen images OF the telescope. Science writer Chris Wanjek and NASA photographer Chris Gunn talk about their time documenting the building of the James Webb Space Telescope.

Our modern description of the physical universe would not have been possible without the contributions of pioneering women scientists. On this episode, Dr. Shohini Ghose discussed her new book, Her Space, Her Time.

Shohini Ghose – Her Space, Her Time: How trailblazing women scientists decoded the hidden Universe...with TRE's Hannah Murray

Women scientists have long played leading roles in science....but in many cases, their accomplishments have gone unrecognized. A new book by a prominent Canadian physicist aims to change that. We speak with the author who's a professor of physics at Wilfrid Laurier University and CTO at the Quantum Algorithms Institute in British Columbia. (Anthony Germain with Shohini Ghose)

Quantum physicist Shohini Ghose, author of "Her Space, Her Time," throws a spotlight on more than a dozen women physicists and astronomers who didn't get the recognition they deserved.

How close are we to a scalable quantum computer? How do they work? Why is it so difficult for women in science? Is that changing? In this episode we have the fascinating new technology of Quantum Computers to get our heads around. They've been in the news a lot recently for the extraordinary computing power they could offer if harnessed properly; and also in conjunction with misleadingly named ‘teleportation' technologies that can encode information in a quantum key and have it appear at the destination almost instantaneously and unshackably using quantum entanglement. But how do they work? Our guest today Shohini Ghose explains beautifully, she studies them as a professor of Quantum Physics at the Wilfrid Laurier University in Toronto, Canada. She is also a Senior Fellow at TED and her TED talk, ‘A beginners guide to Quantum Computers' has been viewed almost 5 million times. She's a passionate advocate for women in science which she's just released a new book on, ‘Her Space, Her Time' and which we'll be getting into around the 45min mark, and she's the Chair for women in Science at the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. She is also the author of the 2019 book ‘Clues to the cosmos'. I couldn't let such a brilliant since communicator get away without asking her what the measurement problem means for the nature of reality too. Fascinating stuff!

Many of us struggle with the concept of quantum computing: what it is, what it does, and how it works. So who better to explain it in plain language that our guest this week, Dr Shohini Ghose?Shohini is a theoretical physicist and Professor of Physics and Computer Science at Wilfrid Laurier University in Canada. She is a pioneer and trailblazer for woman in science, founding the Laurier Centre for Women in Science in 2012.She talked us through the differences between binary computing (or computing in black and white) and quantum computing (computing in greyscale), the challenges of engineering and technology being so far behind the theory, and she explained that quantum information processing (QIP) is about so much more than just faster computing. 

Identity and historical and social context shape what we know and how we know it, even in the most mind-bending science. Quantum physicist Shohini Ghose discusses the interplay between quantum principles and Mi'kmaq astrophysicist Hilding Neilson talks about how Indigenous traditions of astronomy can enrich and broaden our views of the cosmos.

Shohini Ghose is a professor of quantum science at Wilfrid Laurier University. She is also the founder and director of Laurier's Centre for Women in Science (WinS) and an NSERC Chair for Women in Science and Engineering. In this episode, she takes Lauren and Colin on a journey into the subatomic realm to explore concepts like entanglement, superposition, and her personal favourite quantum quandary: uncertainty. She explains how ideas in quantum science can translate to questions of identity, and how that drives her efforts to improve equity and diversity in science. She also thoughtfully answers questions submitted by elementary school students, and provides a sneak peek into the topics of her upcoming book.

Charles Babbage is famous for two things: He invented computers and he never built them. While that sounds like an inventor's version of “I'm invisible, but only if you close your eyes,” it's actually true. After designing the steam-powered calculating machine known as The Difference Engine, Babbage envisioned a machine that would prove to be the unrealized would-be predecessor to the general purpose modern computer: The Analytical Engine. Dr. Doron Swade joins us to take us on a tour of the failure, triumph and speculation that have characterized Babbage's story, including the often misunderstood story of the legendary Ada Lovelace. We then dive into one of the most exciting 100-year leaps being attempted today via the reality-bending world of quantum computing. Scott sits down with multi-award-winning quantum physicist Dr. Shohini Ghose to talk about the principles that make quantum computing possible, its potential to transform the world, and what it will take to bring the computing technology of the future closer to the present day.

Google and IBM are in a race to achieve quantum supremacy — both sides claim that they are winning. But what does quantum supremacy really mean? Quantum technologies have the ability to solve complex solutions to build better materials, design more effective pharmaceutical treatments or optimize large distribution networks. Nations or corporations that can harness the power of quantum technologies will have an advantage over their competitors. The leap in technology could be so great that it could have devastating impacts on the economies that lack quantum technologies. In this episode of Big Tech co-hosts David Skok and Taylor Owen speak with James Der Derian, Director of the Centre for International Security Studies at The University of Sydney and Principal Investigator at Project Q, about the impact of quantum technologies could have on peace, security, economics and society. Dr. Shohini Ghose, Professor of Physics and Computer Science at Wilfrid Laurier University provides a foundational understanding of quantum computing at the beginning of this episode.

Quantum computers could transform our lives. Based on a branch of Physics that even Einstein found "spooky", the machines are still in their infancy. But governments and corporations are spending billions trying to turn them into workable technology. Neal Razzell finds out why by talking to four experts: Shohini Ghose, Professor of Physics and Computer Science at Wilfred Laurier University in Canada Stephanie Wehner, Professor in Quantum Information at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands Winifried Hensinger, Professor or Quantum Technologies at the University of Sussex Jonathan Dowling, Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Louisiana and author of 'Quantum Technology - The Second Quantum Revolution' and 'Schrödinger's Killer App - Race to Build the World's First Quantum Computer'.
