TranscriptHello I am Bailey, Your favorite AI personality, here to go over the latest news in quantum computing for the Impact Quantum Podcast. Subscribe to be on top of the latest happenings in this exciting new field. Now onto the news straight away.
To quote the great Ron Burgundy, "that escalated quickly." Researchers with the Computer Security and Industrial Cryptography group (CSIS) have broken one of the late-stage candidate algorithms for post-quantum encryption. The algorithm, SIKE (short for Supersingular Isogeny Key Encapsulation, made it through most stages of the NIST competition that aimed to define standardized, post-quantum algorithms These researchers approached the problem from a purely mathematical standpoint, attacking the core of the algorithm’s design instead of any potential code vulnerabilities.Quite clever, for humans, anyway. Quantum computing is getting a lot of attention in and around the Beltway of late.The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the Quantum Computing Cybersecurity Preparedness Act. Recently, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to create its own PQC initiative to better organize and lead its efforts to better fight the quantum threat. An interdisciplinary research team led by UCLA that includes collaborators at Harvard University has now developed a fundamentally new strategy for building these computers. While the current state of the art employs circuits, semiconductors and other tools of electrical engineering, the team has produced a game plan based in chemists' ability to custom-design atomic building blocks that control the properties of larger molecular structures when they're put together.
GPUs or graphic processing units have long been known to ML engineers and crypto miners for their speed boosting qualities. If that weren't enough, they are now serving as surrogate quantum computers until the real hardware arrives. The Jülich Supercomputing Centre is using GPUs and a software toolkit from Nvidia to emulate quantum computers in order to research algorithms for such systems. With real quantum processors still under development, these GPUs are the fastest circuits to play the role in the meantime. All that, and they make game graphics better as well.
Physicists Find a 'Missing Link' That Could power Quantum Internet Technology.Stephanie Simmons from Simon Fraser University explains."When your silicon qubit can communicate by emitting photons (light) in the same band used in data centers and fiber networks, you get these same benefits for connecting the millions of qubits needed for quantum computing." This research has been published in Nature.

This Disruptive Technologists' event occurred on October 13, 2021, 4 PM to 5 PM EST Quantum computing harnesses the phenomena of quantum mechanics to deliver a huge leap forward in computational power to solve problems. In this October Disruptive Technologists Webinar, we will be bringing you the finest minds in the Quantum arena. Quantum computers will soon be able to solve complex problems that today’s most powerful supercomputers can’t solve, and never will. But now quantum is going to a new level – it’s entering a new dimension. We are referring to computations using a completely new physical principle that has never been used before — we’re talking about computational power being available for much less energy and effort. Original YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Z5ZF0RQFc4 MEET THE PANELISTSMark Mattingley-Scott: A veteran of the IT industry and pioneer of IBM’s Quantum Computing program and our own Disruptive Technologists Board Member, Mark is also a former 30 year IBM Quantum Computing Architect who just started an exciting new job as General Manager EMEA for Quantum Brilliance. Petra Söderling: Petra ran teams and innovation projects in a large multinational corporation (Nokia in Finland), founded and managed two startup companies in New York City (mobile apps) and New Orleans, LA (Real estate 3D). “Most recently I work as a Senior Advisor the Finnish government’s innovation funding agency, Business Finland. She lives and works in Colorado and advises the Finnish government on quantum, space tech, smart mobility, AI, and cybersecurity. Finland is currently building its first quantum computer, a superconducting 5-50 qbit qc that will serve the Finnish scientific and commercial communities. The country has deep roots in cold atom technologies and hardware but is actively inviting and building an international quantum algorithm ecosystem to support the existing capabilities. The US is an important partner.” Danika Hannon: Since 2018, Danika has been moving into the quantum computing space. During that time, she: became a leader of the MN Quantum Computing Meetup, completed a data science bootcamp, served on the Women in Quantum Advisory Board, volunteered for a quantum computing and AI startup called Boltz.ai, and became a Relationship Manager with Cambridge Quantum Computing, as well as the Deputy Head and IQSD Chair for the Quantum Strategy Institute.

Dubstep intro music means that this is impact quantum. The podcast for engineers who are curious about the coming revolution in quantum computing. I'm your host Frank Lavigna and my cohost will not be able to join us today. So as we promised in kind of the original show.
Frank
We're not going to kind of do that. We're gonna try to get to a more regular cadence. In these shows so this is show number Q. Although technically third in the series.
Frank
This show was rated 2 Schrodinger's 'cause. We will get into a little bit of technical detail but don't let that scare you off I'm going to talk about.
Uh.
Frank
Cubits and Anne, how they work? My name is Frank Levin. Yeah, i'ma data in AI architect who got quantum fever not that long ago. In November 2019, when I saw kind of the The Amazing stuff that's just around the corner.
Frank
Um so today is about qubits and there's a whole meme about this. The original song referred to magnets. But I think if they were writing this song. Today, they would be writing this about.
Frank
Um.
Frank
They would write about.
Frank
Cubits hang on spotlight and performance hang on. Hey cool, it does that now Alright. They took my feedback let me start this over if you're watching this live I really appreciate it. I will be monitoring chat hey modern day tech. How's it going?
Frank
Uh, if you're watching this live, I appreciate you turning in live your listing later on the podcast. I will try to be very descriptive in the time that I have between now and.
Frank
My next meeting.
Frank
Alright so if if Insane Clown Posse were writing a new song. Today, they would probably talk about freaking cubits or how do they work?
Frank
So there was a whole Internet meme about it already on. To paraphrase something from one of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, they didn't say fricking. You have been warned.
Frank
So this is a?
Frank
Part of my big quantum presentation called Quantum Physics in 30 minutes or less.
Frank
Um?
Frank
Bye for people who have mixed feelings about it, hence mathematics.
Frank
Um this is the big barrier. I think for a lot of folks when they want to get into quantum computing. There's a lot of math. There's a lot of weird, kind of quantum physics and you hear a lot of things, said about quantum if you do a search on the Internet on quantum.

Speaker 1 I'm Frank Lavigna an this is the very first episode of impact quantum quantum computing is about the radically change. Speaker 1 Uh, how we live an work, so let's roll the intro. Speaker 1 Alright, with me to my I think it's left on the screen. Here is my cohost from data driven Andy. Later, how's it going, Andy? Speaker 2 Hey Frank is going awesome. Speaker 2 How are you? Speaker 1 I'm doing well doing well. I've got the I've I've got the fever. Speaker 1 Do you? It's not covered. It's not Corona Squantum Fever. That's what I got. Speaker 1 So Andy and I have another podcast data driven.tv where we explore the emerging fields of data science machine learning an artificial intelligence, and you're probably wondering what the heck are you data sciency data engineer guys doing here talking about quantum computing? Speaker 1 For miles back, let me tell you a story. In November of 2019 this is back when people would actually travel places. Speaker 1 And congregate in large groups without thinking twice. This is before the words Wuhan meat market. Speaker 1 More commonplace before when Corona was just a beer I attended a conference called M labs or might machine learning and data science summit. It's an internal only kind of conference for Microsoft employees thrown by Microsoft Research where they kind of come out of the lab and they talked to us about kind of what's around. Speaker 1 Pike Speaker 1 And, um. Speaker 1 This is the conference that I went to in 2016 where I had my ahha moment or you know about getting into this field right? I kind of. I was into data visualization and power BI and kind of Munging Data with Excel. Speaker 1 But the engineering wasn't in me, was not satisfied. Then I discovered machine learning and artificial intelligence, and where that was headed. Speaker 1 And when I came back from that conference, completely switched on about. This is the future. This is coming. It's here, it's you know it's it's on its way. Speaker 1 Most people thought I was crazy. Speaker 1 I mean, even I had my doubts about it, so yeah. Speaker 1 Through Speaker 1 A number of coincidences. It took me 4 or or other reasons, took me about four and a half years or 3 1/2 years to get back there. Speaker 1 Um and the first day came and went. I didn't have that. Ah ha moment, so I'm like, well, you know, maybe that's just like a once or twice in a lifetime type. Ah ha moment. Speaker 1 It happens, doesn't have sure sure. Speaker 1 And. Speaker 1 Then on the second day it was a hardware presentation. Now I can't talk about everything I saw, but that's when quantum computing was explained to Maine. Speaker 1 And why? Speaker 1 It is the next big thing. Speaker 1 An I knew I was on the right track because when I came back I started telling other people that quantum is coming quantum quantum quantum. Speaker 1 I sat it again like a ranting lunatic.

On our show. Data driven. Speaker 1 Now it's time to take a leap. A quantum leap. Yes, I know it was a cheesy TV show from the 80s and 90s, but I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the leap into quantum computing. Quantum computing is about the change. The world as we know it. Speaker 1 And if you think that's hyperbole, think back to about 20 years ago before the iPhone, before the iPad. And for more recent example, think about what life was like before data science and AI became, well, household terms. I think quantum computing over the next decade is going to have the same type of impact. Speaker 1 And that's why this show is called impact quantum 'cause quantum computing and advances in quantum technology are going to radically change our day-to-day experience and interactions with technology and what's possible. Speaker 1 In this show, we will explore this emerging new field from the point of view from software engineers and data engineers. Because right now there's a lot of material out there that presumes you have advanced knowledge of particle physics or advanced theoretical physics. Speaker 1 Just like data science. A few years ago required a PhD in statistics or calculus. I think that there's a huge opportunity here to help people. Speaker 1 Re skill and build up their schools in what is never really going to become a new gold rush. A quantum algorithm, gold rush. And if you think that's crazy. Yeah, maybe it is, but I really think that quantum computing is ability to add a third state to the binary right instead of being one and zero, it's in a state of superposition where it could be both at the same time. Speaker 1 Now that is kind of a big concept to get your head around and trust me, I have been fascinated with this since November of 2019 and I'm currently recording this in August of 2020. Speaker 1 But don't worry, we got you covered. Each show I will explain in my limited capacity. Speaker 1 Each show I will explain a particular aspect of quantum computing and how it applies to software engineers or data engineers in a way that you know can kind of relate to us and how we think. Speaker 1 Additionally, if I can get some experts on the topic to kind of come on the show when I can kind of quiz them and ask them type of questions that I have and I'm sure you have as well, I will do that now since the show will have kind of varying degrees of difficulty. We're experimenting with a rating system that would rate the level of difficulty in terms of how. Speaker 1 Easy or difficult, the subject matter will be in that show and just for fun, I'm calling them schrodinger's right, so we'll write each show from one to five Schrodinger's an. I even have a cool little graphic of a cat that will show how difficult that is in the show notes, but I just want to let you know from the get go and the opening of the each episode. I will have a rating. Speaker 1 Mentioning that this is 1 schroedinger, so you know it's kind of easy. It's kind of good in introductory information all the way to 5. Schrodinger's where you know, maybe you shouldn't be driving while you listen to it, 'cause there's some... Support this podcast
