We already have commercial quantum computers. But will we reach a quantum business advantage in the future?

In this episode, Maciej speaks with Paweł Gora. Paweł is a scientist in the area of Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence but most of all in the area of quantum computing. Paweł is also an entrepreneur, co-founder and advisor in startups: Letme AI and Broomee Technologies, leader of engineering teams in scientific projects, founder and CEO of Quantum AI Foundation.

In the interview, Maciej and Paweł discuss:

• What is quantum mechanics and how it transforms into quantum computing (01:51)
• Discoveries made at the beginning of the 20th century led to a new understanding of our world on the micro-scale (3:54)
