Welcome, Into the Impossible listeners.
Thanks for joining us from Dr. Brian Keating's channel. In this episode, Brian addresses some of the realities and promises of quantum computing, including a spot light on Quantum Rings and Quantum 101, with CEO Bob Wold.
You'll hear about Quantum Rings, our platform for building and running real quantum algorithms without the usual barriers to entry, and Quantum 101, our free learning track designed to take you from "what is a qubit?" to writing your first quantum program.
Whether you're a student, a developer, or just someone who loves pushing into the impossible — you're in the right place.
