Episode 100: Live at Barnes & Thornburg — Reflections on the First 100 Episodes

For the 100th episode of The New Quantum Era, the microphone turns around. Bob Karr — partner at Barnes & Thornburg, co-chair of the firm's Quantum Technology Industry Group, and lead architect of the *Quantum Law Navigator* — invited Sebastian to Chicago for a live audience recording at the firm. In front of scientists, investors, policymakers, and students, Bob leads a wide-ranging conversation about what 99 episodes and a new book have taught Sebastian about where quantum technology actually stands, what building a foundation of understanding in an emerging field really requires, and what comes next — including the Helgoland documentary, the evolution of quantum ecosystems, and the launch of Build Quantum Partners.
