In this episode, Izhar Medalsy, co-founder and CEO of Quantum Elements, explains why the industry is still building \"wooden models in the air tunnel\" — and how hardware-faithful digital twins, scaled to a distance-7 rotated surface code with 97 physical qubits on AWS HPC, could give pulse engineers, circuit designers, and QEC decoder teams a faster, cheaper place to iterate.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/0bJ0_ffy0r0O2l32QT5Tn9-3l9jtqpUcMVwNZnZXwRM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yZmZl/YmRlZTAxNDY3MWJk/NmI2MGVkMGMxYmFh/MTM2Mi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
