About the show

Quantum is closer than you think

The Q-Talk is ColibriTD's conversation series about what quantum computing changes, for simulation, for engineering teams, for whole industries. We bring the researchers and practitioners to the table and ask them the plain questions.

New episodes are published on YouTube and everywhere you listen to podcasts.

No jargon walls

Every concept gets explained before it gets used. If you're curious, you're qualified.

Built by practitioners

Hosted by the ColibriTD team, who ship quantum software for multi-physics simulation.

Useful today

We focus on what already works, hybrid workflows, real hardware, real constraints.

Who will make money with quantum?

Everyone quotes a trillion-dollar forecast. Almost nobody agrees on who actually gets paid, or when. Laurent sits down with Julian van Velzen, Head of Capgemini's Quantum Lab, to separate a real quantum bet from an expensive pilot, industry by industry.
