These podcasts are very simple and high-level discussions about quantum computing. If you don’t have the faintest idea what quantum computing is or why it’s exciting, this is a great place to start.

This discussion between Chad Rigetti and Chris Dixon on the A16Z Podcast is a great primer on the basics of quantum computing and why this moment in history is particularly exciting.

This follow-up podcast, also from A16Z features a discussion between Jeff Cordova, Vijay Pande, and Sonal Chokshi takes the previous podcast a few layers deeper, discussing how this technology will actually roll out via cloud-hosted APIs and how quantum algorithms are different than classical ones.

This podcast from The Digital Life looks at the industry from a bit broader viewpoint, since they aren’t invested in any one particular company to my knowledge. They explain exactly what Google and D-Wave are working on and how it fits into the broader context of advancements in quantum computing.
