Welcome to another episode of The New Quantum Era, where we delve into the cutting-edge developments in quantum computing. with your host, Sebastian Hassinger. Today, we have a unique episode featuring representatives from two companies collaborating on groundbreaking quantum algorithms and hardware. Joining us are [Sean Weinberg](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sean-weinberg-56a635183/), Director of Quantum Applications at Quantum Circuits Incorporated, and [Guillermo Garcia Perez](https://www.linkedin.com/in/guillermogarcia-perez/), Chief Science Officer and co-founder at Algorithmiq. Together, they discuss their partnership and the innovative work they are doing to advance quantum computing applications, particularly in the field of chemistry and pharmaceuticals.

## Key Highlights:

- **Introduction of New Podcast Format**: Sebastian explains the new format of the podcast and introduces the guests, Sean Weinberg from Quantum Circuits Inc. and Guillermo Garcia Perez from Algorithmiq.
- **Collaboration Overview**: Guillermo discusses the [partnership between Quantum Circuits Inc. and Algorithmiq](/content/resources/algorithmiq-transforms-drug-discovery/index.html), focusing on how Quantum Circuits Inc.’s dual-rail qubits with built-in error detection enhance Algorithmiq’s quantum algorithms.
- **Innovative Algorithms**: Guillermo elaborates on their novel approach to ground state simulations using tensor network methods and informationally complete measurements, which improve the accuracy and efficiency of quantum computations.
- **Hardware Insights**: Sean provides insights into Quantum Circuits Inc.’s Seeker device, an eight-qubit system that flags 90% of errors, and discusses the future scalability and potential for error correction.
- **Future Directions**: Both guests talk about the potential for larger-scale devices and the importance of collaboration between hardware and software companies to advance the field of quantum computing.
