LIVE! On campus quantum computing with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

For this episode, Sebastian is on his own, as Kevin is taking a break. Sebastian accepted a gracious invite to the ribbon cutting event at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY, where the university was launching their on-campus IBM System One -- the first commercial quantum computer on a university campus!
This week, the episode is a recording a live event hosted by Sebastian. The panel of RPI faculty and staff talk about their decision to deploy a quantum computer in their own computing center -- a former chapel from the 1930s! - what they hope the RPI community will do with the device, and the role of academic partnership with private industry at this stage of the development of the technology.
Joining Sebastian on the panel were:

• James Hendler, Professor and Director of Future of Computing Institute
• Jackie Stampalia, Director, Client Information Services, DotCIO
• Osama Raisuddin, Research Scientist, RPI
• Lucy Zhang, Professor, Mechanical, Aerospace, and Nuclear Engineering
