Thanks for the questions, I think most of them were covered in some way.
I have about 1hr 50min of footage.

Here is a short clip:




Sounds like a quantum future a la Long Term Capital Management!   (of crash fame)

Members of LTCM's board of directors included Myron S. Scholes and Robert C. Merton, who shared the 1997 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for a "new method to determine the value of derivatives".

Well, that was a fantastic talk!  Thank you.

Very dense in the first part, and very engaging afterwards.

About the technical aspects in the first part, it happens that I've had already seen the videos posted on Veritasium and Veritasium2 channels in 2013.  There are 5 or 6 of them, where some of the same explanations are made in front of a wightboard, so it's easier to picture and follow the main ideas.  Even with that former videos in memory (or whatever was left after 7 years), I still had to rewind your interview for some parts a few times, just to make sure I'm not losing any essential steps in the explanations.

I've noticed your youtube video is unlisted for now, so I'll guess this is just a preview, and looking for opinions.  My 2 cents (keep in mind that I know nothing about how to publish engaging material)
- the content is pure gold
- it's a lot to watch the whole video in one sit, maybe publish it in some episodes
- at the beginning, it all might seem like complete gibberish talk for those who never look into quantum computing before, and might make them lose the interest for the very thoughts stimulating and very entertaining talk that follows
- would be such a waste to let all that material as an unlisted video on EEVdiscover
- not sure if a similar thing will work for EEVblog, too, but I've seen this method on another youtube channel, Lex Fridman.  He have very long videos, 2-3 hours for each guest, so he first upload the long version, then in the next 1-2 weeks he keep posting the same material again, in shorter episodes of 20-30 minutes.  At first I thought that looks silly, but in time I start clicking on the shorter episodes, too, and many times noticed ideas that escaped me at the first listen.  Not sure how EEVblog audience would react to a 1.5 hours long video, followed by shorter episodes of the same material in the next days.  I didn't liked this idea at first, and only after watching many talks on that channel I've learned to appreciate the value of a second listen but in shorter episodes.

To me, the whole interview was very, very interesting, answered my questions, and taught me new things.
Loved every second of it.   :-+

The full video is going on EEVdiscover as-is, public, not unlisted, it's just unlisted for now for supporters.
I did the full version because I needed to edit that anyway for the Amp Hour podcast.
There will be a short version on EEVblog main channel, maybe 20min, no idea what I'll include or leave out yet.
Short snippets of interesting stuff will go on EEVblog2.
