Dr Foley begins the podcast defining quantum – and how this dual-use technology will revolutionise healthcare, energy and even sports science.

The pair then look at quantum in a national security context, and how it can be employed to understand the impact of disinformation on the human brain, before wrapping up with an analysis of the National Quantum Strategy.
