The 3D-printed panda: can quantum computing reinvent manufacturing?

In this episode of The Quantum Kid, 9-year-old Kai and Katia explore how quantum computing is beginning to reshape how we build, design, and optimize everything, from materials to supply chains.
Kai and Katia are joined by two brilliant guests:
• Frederik Flöther, Chief Quantum Officer at QuantumBasel, home to Switzerland's first commercial quantum computer
• Antonio Linares, global manufacturing executive working on real-world tech integration
Whether you're a tech leader, educator, or just quantum-curious, this episode makes deep tech both accessible and inspiring.
