Tobias Lindstrom, Head of Science for the Department of Quantum Technologies at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) in the UK, is my guest on this week's Superposition Guy's Podcast. We discuss the critical role of national measurement institutes in the quantum ecosystem. Tobias and I delve into how NPL bridges the gap between academia and industry, the complexities of quantum benchmarking and standardization, as well as advancements in quantum communications, sensing, and computing. We also touch on the evolving quantum supply chain, the role of neutrality in measurement services, and what the future holds for quantum technologies.
