Talking Tuesdays with Fancy Quant
The Talking Tuesdays Podcast is all about quantitative topics but mainly focused around quantitative finance, data science, machine learning, career development, and technical topics. Join me for some insight from a risk management professional on how the industry works and how to break in!
Talking Tuesdays with Fancy Quant
What is Quantum Research?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Interested in what quantum computing is? Ramis Movassagh explains the basics of quantum, some applications to finance, why it is a hard problem to solve, and ways to learn more about it.
Ramis is an applied mathematician and a theoretical physicist who researches quantum computation and information theory, and quantum cryptography and complexity. He does an amazing job at laying out some of the basic ideas of quantum mechanics.
