About this listen

Forget bits (0 or 1). What if a computer could "think" like a "spinning coin"—a state of all possibilities at once? That's the core of quantum computing, a technology that could solve problems we now see as impossible.

We make this complex idea simple and explore the company, IonQ, that's betting on "perfect" levitating atoms to build this machine. We trace its journey from academic research to a high-stakes, publicly-traded company. This is your guide to understanding the single biggest technological story of our lifetime.
