Featured paper: Optimization by decoded quantum interferometryWhat if quantum computers could solve in seconds what takes classical supercomputers years? Join us as we break down Google Quantum AI's groundbreaking Decoded Quantum Interferometry (DQI) algorithm, a quantum breakthrough that tackles NP-hard optimization problems by making the right answers 'glow' brighter using quantum interference. Learn how researchers achieved a 100,000x speed-up on real-world problems and why this could unlock the future of drug discovery, battery design, and artificial intelligence.

Featured paper: A ROTEM-guided algorithm aimed to reduce blood product utilization during neonatal and infant cardiac surgery

How do you give the tiniest hearts exactly the blood products they need, and no more? In this episode, we explore a ROTEM-guided “blood roadmap” that personalizes transfusion during neonatal and infant heart surgery. Learn how real-time clot metrics cut platelet and cryo use, raise ICU hematocrit, and reduce chest tube bleeding, bringing safer, targeted care to babies on bypass.*Disclaimer: This content was generated by NotebookLM and has been reviewed for accuracy by Dr. Tram.*

Featured paper: Quadratus Lumborum Blockade for Postoperative Analgesia in Infants and Children Following Colorectal Surgery

How do you keep kids comfortable after major abdominal surgery without relying on heavy opioids? This episode explores ultrasound-guided Quadratus Lumborum blocks (QLB) for infants and children, a fast, spine-sparing technique delivering near-zero pain scores, 99% success, and no major complications. Hear when QLB outperforms neuraxial anesthesia (tethered cord, anorectal malformations), how the transmuscular “shamrock” approach works, and why it’s becoming the technique of choice for pediatric colorectal procedures.
