Thanks to Kathrin Spendier, Prize Director of @xprize, for joining us on Thinking On Paper. She explained quantum computing in an understandable way and was a great sport, even taking on the famous Hot Buttons.

Kathrin was on the show to give us a behind the scenes take on the Quantum XPRIZE, a $5 million global competition to accelerate quantum algorithm development for real-world applications.

Sponsored by Google Quantum, this three-year initiative challenges teams to solve issues in sustainability, drug discovery, material science, and optimization.

With 300 teams from 46 countries, the Quantum #XPRIZE will motivate students, engineers, chemists, biologists, and entrepreneurs.

The episode drops soon.
