60 Minutes Quantum Computing, Knife, College of Magic Airs July 28 2024 on CBS

This Sunday, viewers can catch a new episode of “60 Minutes,” airing at 7:00 PM on CBS. Known for its in-depth reporting and compelling storytelling, this episode continues the show’s tradition of delivering insightful news coverage and feature stories.

QUANTUM COMPUTING – Correspondent Scott Pelley reports on the pioneering technology of quantum computing, a new kind of computer that could answer impossible questions in physics, chemistry, engineering and medicine. Pelley travels to California to see Google’s quantum lab, visits one of the first quantum computers outside the lab at Cleveland Clinic and gets a first look at IBM’s newest quantum computer, its most advanced to date. Denise Schrier Cetta and Katie Brennan are the producers.

KNIFE – In his first television interview since he was attacked at a literary festival in Chautauqua, N.Y., almost two years ago, author Salman Rushdie details his experience to correspondent Anderson Cooper. Rushdie, who was stabbed 15 times and lost his right eye, has come to terms with the attack by writing about it in his new book, KNIFE (Penguin, 2024.) He talks to Cooper about Iran’s religious decree – or fatwa – that called for his death 35 years ago, his years in hiding and how he reclaimed his life in the U.S. before he was nearly killed by an assailant wielding a knife. Michael Gavshon and Nadim Roberts are the producers.

COLLEGE OF MAGIC – You can’t wave a wand and make intolerance, poverty and violence disappear, but you can use magic to try. Jon Wertheim visits the College of Magic in Cape Town, South Africa, where students learn sleight of hand, juggling, ventriloquism and card tricks. But what the school really teaches is also the great superpower of magic itself: rethinking the limits of possibility. Michael Gavshon and Nadim Roberts are the producers.

As always, “60 Minutes” is expected to feature a mix of high-profile interviews, investigative reports, and human interest stories. This episode promises to keep viewers engaged with its signature blend of serious journalism and captivating storytelling.
