Join the Hyperthesis team as we ring in the new year with exciting topics, covering the physics of champagne (but not the resulting drunkard's walk), along with quantum computers and the first computer programs written. We start with a recent pre-publication that simulates how Champagne corks are popped, and the quick and chilling solution might surprise you. Next, we delve deep into the quantum realm by discussing how quantum computers function and what they can be used for. Finally, we wrap up the episode with the life, times, and controversy of Ada Lovelace, one of the first computer mathematicians.
