Lecture · Perimeter
Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics · Shohini Ghose · 2020
Physicist Shohini Ghose of Wilfrid Laurier University surveys the quantum technologies that grow out of superposition and entanglement, from quantum computers to secure communication. A clear public lecture given at Perimeter Institute in March 2020.
Interview · IBM Quantum
Qiskit · Peter Shor
Peter Shor tells the story of his algorithm himself. The video's chapter markers run from Feynman through Bernstein–Vazirani (7:23), Simon's problem (8:48) and discrete logarithms (9:40) to factoring (14:26). From 18:54 he turns to how quantum error correction was found, which makes this the bridge to Part 8.
Lecture · Centre for Quantum Technologies
Centre for Quantum Technologies · Volodymyr Sivak (Google Quantum AI)
A CQT colloquium by Volodymyr Sivak of Google Quantum AI that shares its title with Google's Nature paper reporting the experiment on the Willow chip. Expect the research-level version of this section's story, aimed at physicists: what it takes for a surface code to run 'below threshold', so that a bigger code means fewer logical errors.
Lecture · IBM Quantum
Qiskit · John Watrous · 2022–25
The lecture from IBM Quantum Understanding Quantum Information & Computation (John Watrous, 2022–25) that goes with Chapter 23. The whole course is in the Lecture Hall.
Explainer · Perimeter
Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics · Katie Mack · 2023
A short episode from Perimeter Institute's Quantum 101 series with Katie Mack. Watch it alongside Chapter 23.
Explainer · Fermilab
Fermilab
A short episode from Fermilab's Quantum Physics series with Don Lincoln and colleagues. Watch it alongside Chapter 23.
Series · Perimeter
Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics · Katie Mack · 2023
Ten five-minute episodes hosted by the cosmologist Katie Mack: duality, quantization, uncertainty, superposition, entanglement, probability, tunnelling and quantum computing. The friendliest possible on-ramp, and a quick refresher before any chapter.
Series · Fermilab
Fermilab · Don Lincoln and colleagues
Short, precise episodes from Fermilab, many with Don Lincoln: what quantum mechanics is really about, entanglement, quantum electrodynamics and chromodynamics, quantum field theory and quantum foam, plus a look inside the lab's quantum-computing and networking work.
Lecture · Nobel Prize
Nobel Prize · John Clarke · 2025
"From SLUGs to macroscopic quantum phenomena": John Clarke on the 1984–85 Berkeley experiments in which an entire superconducting circuit, big enough to hold in your hand, tunnelled out of a trapped state as a single quantum object.
Lecture · Nobel Prize
Nobel Prize · Michel H. Devoret · 2025
"From macroscopic quantum phenomena to artificial atoms": Michel Devoret on how a circuit's quantized energy levels — measured in the same experiments — became the foundation of today's superconducting qubits.
