Quantum Computing in Arizona with Greg Pitz
In this episode of the Phoenix Prosperity Podcast, Tim Fergestad sits down with Greg Pitz, founder of AZ Quantum Computing, to explore one of the most exciting and complex frontiers in technologyâquantum computing.
Greg shares how his company operates across three key areas: custom quantum programming, consulting across quantum computing, sensing, and communications, and global advocacy for quantum technology. He explains why quantum computing is still in its early stages and why programming for quantum systems is far more complex than traditional computing.
The conversation breaks down what quantum computing actually means in practical terms. Rather than replacing everyday computers, quantum systems are designed to solve massive, complex problemsâlike optimizing global logistics or accelerating breakthroughs in material science and medicine.
Greg also highlights a major misconception: quantum computers wonât replace your laptop anytime soon. Instead, they will function more like powerful, specialized systems similar to todayâs supercomputers.
A key focus of the episode is Arizonaâs growing role in the quantum ecosystem. Greg makes a compelling case for why the state is uniquely positioned as a global hub for quantum manufacturing, thanks to its semiconductor infrastructure, optics leadership in Tucson, and strong supply chain ecosystem.
The discussion also touches on the future of computing, including the limitations of current chip technology, the massive energy demands of AI data centers, and emerging innovations that could dramatically increase efficiency while reducing costs.
If youâre curious about where technology is headingâand how Arizona fits into that futureâthis episode offers a fascinating and accessible introduction to the world of quantum computing.

In this episode of the Phoenix Prosperity Podcast with Tim Fergestad, Tim sits down with Dr. Ajay Bhatnagar, founder of the Prostate Cancer Institute of America, to talk about a prostate cancer treatment that many patients may not know enough about: low-dose rate brachytherapy.
Dr. Bhatnagar explains how brachytherapy works, why it can offer excellent outcomes with fewer side effects for the right patient, and why this highly effective treatment has become less common in the United States. He shares how the procedure places tiny radioactive seeds directly into the prostate, allowing doctors to deliver focused treatment with very little radiation to nearby healthy tissue.
The conversation also explores common misunderstandings around prostate cancer treatment. Dr. Bhatnagar talks about why surgery is not always the only or best option, why men should avoid rushing into treatment after diagnosis, and why quality of life should be a major part of every treatment decision.
Tim and Dr. Bhatnagar also discuss the business side of medicine. Dr. Bhatnagar shares why he left general radiation oncology to build a focused practice around brachytherapy, how telehealth helped expand access for patients, and how digital media has become a powerful tool for patient education and advocacy.
This episode is both a medical conversation and a business story. It highlights what can happen when a physician chooses to focus on a treatment they believe truly serves patients, even when the healthcare system pushes in another direction.
