<p>On this bonus episode for the holidays, Assistant Professor Jason Jenkins interviews Dr. Peng Guo and Dr. Mariam Gado about their roles in quantum computing at Dakota State University (DSU). Dr. Guo, a physics faculty member since 2023, teaches quantum computing courses and has received an NSF Award for simulating nuclear reactions using quantum computers. Dr. Gado, a recent PhD graduate, focuses on quantum cryptography and has taught quantum computing courses since joining DSU. They discuss the importance of linear algebra and programming skills for students, the potential of quantum computing in AI, and the emerging quantum computing programs at DSU, including a graduate certificate and undergraduate minor.</p><br><p>Check back later this spring for a new season of Cyberology! </p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
