Here we are inside an atom. Here's one little chair for one of you, and a bigger chair for two more to curl up in. Now, look up, wa-a-a-a-a-ay up to the non-quantum realm, and we'll call John.

This week, we get sub-atomic with John Donohue, Senior Manager of Scientific Outreach at the University of Waterloo's Institute for Quantum Computing. We talk about the science of the movies, Back to the Future, and why it may not actually be very realistic to start a revolution in the quantum realm (damn you Paul Rudd!)

The Mikes have abandoned social media, and we highly recommend that you do as well. To fill that void, the show now has a monthly newsletter, featuring random thoughts, hot takes, our recommendations for what to watch, and updates about the cool things our past guests are doing in our community. You can get it direct to your inbox, or catch up on past issues at https://midcreditscene.substack.com/.
