In this episode, we discuss numbers with Prof. Conor Brennan. What are imaginary numbers and their meaning in the real world? We briefly talk about the history of mathematics and how imaginary numbers were discovered and started to be utilized. Nowadays, imaginary numbers are necessary for some specific applications, which cannot be described only by real numbers. We also start a discussion about quantum computing, which is a rapidly emerging technology.
