The Quantum Spin: Blog, Podcast and Newsletter
Inspiring the Next Generation of Quantum
According to Seth Lloyd, a quantum computing expert and professor of mechanical engineering at MIT, newborn babies are the only people alive who intuitively understand quantum mechanics – something that fades as they grow older.
Until about three months old, babies engage in what can be known as A-not-B errors, demonstrating an understanding similar to concepts in quantum physics. As they begin learning to play games such as peekaboo, they shift their focus to more human-scale physics.
Building Quantum Software and Community
In this episode of The Quantum Spin by HKA, host Veronica Combs talks with Matt Johnson, CEO and co-founder of QC Ware, a software company that builds tools for drug discovery and materials design. Matt also convenes the quantum community three times a year at Q2B conferences in Silicon Valley, Paris and Tokyo.
Communicating Quantum Tech to a Non-Tech Audience
When you add the adjective “quantum” in front of computing, suddenly the world of computers, so ubiquitous today, turns into a confusing, science fiction world to most people. In fact, the word “quantum” itself can send people down a rabbit hole of confusing terms like qubit, entanglement, and fidelity and echoes of other dimensions.

They achieve this in a most diligent and respected way that makes working with them a pleasure for both clients and the media.

I highly recommend HKA. Their innovative and pioneering approach as the first public relations agency in the quantum industry sets them apart. HKA is well-known through the quantum ecosystem for its level of engagement and thus understanding of the evolution of quantum technologies. With their expertise, businesses can gain a competitive edge in today's dynamic marketplace and elevate their PR strategy to new heights.

The Economist engaged HKA as PR agency for our Commercialising Quantum series of events in 2023. We very much enjoyed working with Hilary and her team and benefited from their ability to engage the relevant media outlets to generate press coverage of our event and broaden its reach. We were grateful for the support that HKA offered in amplifying our speakers and sponsors' announcements to the quantum industry press and felt assured that our partners were in safe hands when making introductions. Thanks again Hilary and team!
Helen PonsfordSenior Program Editor, The Economist
