In this episode, host Konstantinos Karagiannis reunites with longtime friends and co-founders of the Quantum Village, Mark Carney and Victoria Kumran, to preview their upcoming plans for DEF CON 34. Celebrating their fifth anniversary, the duo reflects on how the Quantum Village has evolved from a "hodgepodge" of quantum skepticism into an internationally recognized hub for open-source, hands-on hardware. Backed by their first-ever philanthropic grant from Mozilla, Victoria and Mark highlight how the village is breaking down academic barriers and empowering educators, security researchers and hobbyists alike to engage with complex quantum concepts on their own terms.
Get an exciting look at some of the village's wildest DIY achievements, including a recap of "Uncut Gem," a budget-friendly, open-source quantum magnetometer built using green LEDs and red filter gel instead of expensive laboratory lasers. They also dive into their newest $35 open-source creation, the "entropy loop," a quantum random number generator (QRNG) designed to build real intuition about vacuum fluctuations and phase diffusion. Touching on this year's DEF CON theme of "agency," the guests tackle how independent creators can push back against big-tech opacity by building and understanding their own secure systems. As with DEF CON in general, this episode covers a wide technical range, from how quantum sensors might detect alien signals to tinkering with a Raspberry Pi Pico. Also find out what two talks Konstantinos will be giving at the show this year.

Is quantum technology purely a science of the future, or can it solve major enterprise problems today? In this episode, Pouya Dianat, Chief Revenue Officer of Quantum Computing Inc. (QCi), joins host Konstantinos Karagiannis to discuss how his company is moving past the lab stage to deliver real business value right now. Dianat breaks down QCi’s unique hardware approach using nonlinear photonics and thin-film lithium niobate, explaining why the company has focused on application-specific, analog quantum optimization machines rather than waiting for universal gate-based systems to mature in the 2030s.
The conversation dives deep into QCi's latest breakthrough algorithm, CVQBoost, which leverages the physics of their Dirac 3 system to revolutionize financial fraud detection. Operating literally at the speed of light, this room-temperature, rack-mountable quantum computer eliminates classical processing bottlenecks and effortlessly bypasses the training limitations that plague traditional GPUs. Dianat also shares insights into how recent federal executive orders on quantum technology are impacting the sales landscape, QCi’s cutting-edge quantum authentication solutions for network security, and his strategic vision for driving immediate commercial revenues while advancing a long-term quantum roadmap.

Is quantum computing trapped behind a hardware bottleneck? In this episode, host Konstantinos Karagiannis sits down with Richard Givhan, the CEO of Haiqu, who challenges this long-standing narrative. While the industry has historically focused on building perfect, fault-tolerant systems, Givhan argues that this theoretical cynicism has caused the software layer to be deeply undervalued. Haiqu is disrupting this perspective by championing a wave of empirical optimism, proving that enterprise R&D teams can extract massive value, run frontier-scale simulations, and achieve scientific milestones right now using near-term, noisy, and partially corrected hardware.
The conversation dives deep into Haiqu’s breakthrough orchestration and compression techniques, demonstrating how they achieved a jaw-dropping 1,000x reduction in both time and cost. Specifically, they compressed a $30,000, nine-hour QPU simulation down to just $25 and 30 seconds. Givhan also unveils the future of the quantum workflow: Haiqu's agentic Quantum OS. By integrating specialized AI research agents to automate literature reviews, handle classical baselining, and collaboratively design advanced circuits, Haiqu is dramatically accelerating the R&D loop from six-month trial phases down to a matter of days. Finally, Givhan shares his perspective on the true arrival of commercial quantum advantage, noting that we will know it is truly here when competitive industries, like finance, suddenly go completely silent about their quantum capabilities.

Is the ultimate cryptocurrency ticking toward a sudden, quantum-powered collapse? In this episode, Chris Tam, President and Head of Innovation at BTQ, joins host Konstantinos Karagiannis to shatter the comforting illusions many Bitcoiners still hold about the quantum computing threat. While many assume that a Q-Day attack would only disrupt future mining, Tam exposes the true, terrifying reality: Quantum computers utilizing Shor's algorithm are on an exponential trajectory to cracking the elliptic curve cryptography that safeguards individual wallets. Even worse, recent upgrades like Taproot have inadvertently introduced more vulnerable public keys into the ecosystem, making a network upgrade more complex than ever.
The real crisis isn't just finding a cryptographic fix: it's time. Experts warn that migrating the entire decentralized Bitcoin network to a post-quantum standard could take upwards of seven years, but the network simply lacks the block space to move everyone before quantum adversaries are predicted to break the encryption. To bypass the political gridlock of Bitcoin core development, Tam details how BTQ surgically built a working, post-quantum Bitcoin Quantum testnet to experiment with solutions like BIP 360 in the real world. From the catastrophic ripple effects a Bitcoin hack would have on traditional financial markets to BTQ’s pioneering work on day-one quantum-resistant stablecoins in South Korea, this episode is an urgent, eye-opening wake-up call for anyone holding digital assets.

Quantum technical debt is the idea that some devices cannot be upgraded to PQC. In this episode, Thorsten Stremlau, a Systems Principal Architect at NVIDIA and Co-Chair of the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) Marketing Work Group, joins host Konstantinos Karagiannis to discuss the critical role of hardware roots of trust in protecting against the quantum computing threat. Stremlau outlines the challenges of integrating heavier PQC algorithms into resource-constrained chips like the Trusted Platform Module (TPM), highlighting technical hurdles such as increased computational intensity, memory bloat, and heightened vulnerability to side-channel and denial-of-service attacks. To counter these quantum threats while maintaining historical stability, the TCG has released the TPM 2.0 library version 1.85 paired with the platform specification 107. This combination leverages built-in crypto-agility to implement mature algorithms like ML-KEM and ML-DSA, while still supporting hybrid classical-quantum models to ensure a smoother migration path for enterprises.
However, Stremlau issues a stark warning regarding the industry's timeline and the reality of quantum technical debt, revealing that achieving full PQC readiness will require a complete hardware replacement rather than simple in-field firmware updates. Government entities are aggressively mandating PQC compliance for procurement by 2027. But the enterprise sector, particularly critical infrastructure and server environments, faces an incredibly long transition cycle due to a traditional preference for operational stability over rapid upgrades. While a PQC-ready TPM is a foundational piece of the puzzle that secures firmware signing, boot processes and platform attestation, it is not a silver bullet. True quantum resilience requires a defense-in-depth strategy where the entire software and data ecosystem, including AI workloads, edge networks and data pipelines, is systematically upgraded alongside the hardware foundation.

What if the timelines for world-changing quantum computing aren’t dictated only by hardware manufacturers, but also by the sheer power of a better idea? In this episode, host Konstantinos Karagiannis sits down with Toby Cubitt, the co-founder and CTO of Phasecraft, to explore how clever mathematics and algorithmic breakthroughs are slashing the requirements for quantum advantage by orders of magnitude. Toby shares how his team has already knocked factors of one million off the gate counts for critical simulations, effectively buying a decade of hardware development through pure software innovation. Q-Day and the shifting goalposts of breaking RSA encryption are a reality, but the discussion also covers revolutionizing the very materials that power our batteries and industrial catalysts.
Beyond the technical benchmarks, Toby pulls back the curtain on the Wild West era of quantum computing, drawing fascinating parallels to the vacuum tubes and mercury delay lines of the 1950s. He also moves on to myths such as: Will AI make quantum computing obsolete? Can you actually run ChatGPT on a quantum processor? Whether you are a business leader looking to "Nitro-inject" your classical optimization workflows or a science enthusiast eager to hear from a world expert who has access to every major quantum machine on the planet (from Google’s Willow chip to IBM and Quantinuum) this episode is a hype-free must.

How do you go from a quantum computing research paper to a circuit you can run on a real machine? Can AI help bridge the gap between complex mathematical theory and functional quantum code? In this episode, Vincent van Wingerden, Director of Strategic Partnerships at Classiq, joins host Konstantinos Karagiannis to discuss the dawn of quantum vibe coding. While traditional quantum programming often requires tedious manual manipulation of gates and hardware-specific constraints, Classiq’s platform introduces a high-level abstraction that allows users to focus on intent rather than implementation. Vincent explains how their AI-driven assistant, powered by Claude, can ingest an academic paper from arXiv and generate a working implementation in minutes, a task that once took experts weeks of effort.
Beyond the vibe, this episode dives into the practical mechanics of how Classiq’s compiler optimizes code across diverse hardware modalities, from IonQ to IBM. You’ll hear about real-world collaborations with Comcast and AMD, as well as a fascinating example of how an AI agent suggested improvements to an image-edge-detection algorithm that outperformed its original human design. Whether you are a seasoned computer scientist or a curious beginner looking to bypass the gate-level barrier, this conversation reveals how the synergy between high-level languages and AI is dismantling the quantum talent gap and scaling the industry toward the future.

What if you could crunch numbers on a dataset without ever actually seeing the sensitive information inside? Dr. Kurt Rohloff, co-founder and CTO of Duality Technologies, joins host Konstantinos Karagiannis to explain the wild capabilities of Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), which allows for computation on data while it remains fully encrypted. Because FHE is built on lattice-based cryptography, it offers robust post-quantum security properties right out of the box. Learn how this technology provides end-to-end protection not just for data at rest or in motion, but for data in use. FHE effectively turns the cloud into a secure processing powerhouse where privacy will remain uncompromised even after the threat of quantum computing arrives.
From revolutionizing rare disease research by aggregating data across global medical centers to identifying international financial criminals without exposing private bank records, the real-world applications Rohloff describes are staggering. He discusses how Duality is replacing months of legal red tape and NDAs with "cup of coffee time" queries and pushing the boundaries of AI by protecting sensitive Large Language Model (LLM) workloads. Whether you're interested in the open-source OpenFHE library or the future of hardware-accelerated privacy, this episode is a deep dive into how we can democratize science and secure the AI tech stack for a post-quantum era.

In this landmark five-year special episode, host Konstantinos Karagiannis welcomes Addie LaMarr, a YouTuber and former cryptographer with eight years of experience in the Air Force and a history of writing cybersecurity policy for the Department of Justice. LaMarr identifies 2026 as the “beginning of quantum seriousness,” a year where global regulations are forcing a transition to protect critical data longevity from a growing tsunami of threats. Drawing from her military background, she emphasizes that cryptography is often a matter of life and death, sharing a sobering example of “Identify Friend or Foe” systems where a single cryptographic error can cause an aircraft to be treated as a hostile target.
The conversation also explores the strategic and societal shifts required as quantum computing matures. LaMarr argues that now is the optimum time for cybersecurity professionals to pivot into post-quantum cryptography (PQC) specialization, noting that such a move could yield pay bumps similar to those who transitioned to AI jobs. However, she pairs this optimism with a warning about how massive computational power could be used to build digital twins and manipulate autonomy. Finally, she cautions that the world may not receive a formal warning when Q-Day arrives, as nations will likely hide their quantum breaking capabilities to maintain informational dominance, much like the secrecy surrounding the cracking of the Enigma code in World War II.

Zapata’s back! A tough stretch including a difficult SPAC deal, a brief move into AI, and a $20 million debt forced the company to shut down in 2024. But in this episode, Sumit Kapur, CEO of Zapata Quantum, talks with host Konstantinos Karagiannis about how the company made a remarkable comeback. They discuss the intense restructuring, the strong support from the quantum computing industry, and how Zapata’s seven years of intellectual property proved too valuable to give up.
The conversation goes into the prospects of quantum utility, focusing on Quantum Intermediate Representation (QIR)—a universal translator that abstracts the immense complexity of hybrid computing. Sumit explains why the industry is entering a critical arms race for application intelligence and why even skeptics are now predicting that milestones like Shor’s algorithm could be achieved far sooner than previously imagined. From collaborating with DARPA on quantum benchmarking to finding the company’s new north star in a post-SPAC world, this episode showcases resilience plus a forward-looking roadmap for the next decade of quantum edge.

The groundbreaking Pinnacle Architecture paper has sent shockwaves through the quantum computing industry by demonstrating that RSA-2048 encryption could potentially be cracked with just 100,000 physical qubits. This is a massive order-of-magnitude reduction from previous estimates that once reached into the millions. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis as he sits down with Felix Thomsen and Paul Webster from Iceberg Quantum as they explain the techniques in the paper and its serious potential ramifications. By leveraging high-efficiency LDPC codes and a novel modular architecture, the team explains how they’ve bridged the gap between theoretical quantum error correction and practical hardware implementation, effectively accelerating the timeline toward Q-Day. More than one quantum computing hardware roadmap has us reaching 100,000 physical qubits before 2030! And there’s no reason to believe future work couldn’t lower the qubit requirements even more.
Beyond the security implications, the architecture is also a blueprint for the first generation of utility-scale quantum systems. Thomsen and Webster detail how their modular design—featuring dedicated processing units, magic engines, and shared memory—can be optimized for “slow” hardware like trapped ions or applied to life-changing scientific breakthroughs in quantum chemistry and material science. Whether you are a cryptographer bracing for the post-quantum transition or a scientist eager to see the first practical applications of fault-tolerant quantum computing, you’ll need to understand this paper’s potential impact.

A one-shot signature is a new quantum computing tool that lets people verify information publicly using a quantum signing key that destroys itself after use. This “proof of destruction” makes sure the key can only be used once, which could lead to cryptographic solutions that classical math could not achieve. Host Konstantinos Karagiannis talks with Omri Shmueli, a cryptographer and postdoctoral research fellow at NTT Research, about how one-shot signatures might change digital finance and secure communication. Shmueli shares how this technology could make decentralized cryptocurrency possible without a blockchain or help solve the big scalability problems of current blockchains by letting users create their own unique quantum money. The episode also looks at how unclonable quantum keys could give users proof that not only do they have a secret key, but they are the only person in the world who does.

The “Constellation Platform” is revolutionizing the path to fault-tolerant quantum computing. Rather than relying on traditional state vector simulations that hit a wall at 50 qubits, this platform from Quantum Elements uses a breakthrough method, stochastic compression, to create realistic digital twins of quantum hardware at scale. This approach allows developers to simulate the complex time evolution of a system, including specific noise models such as crosstalk and decoherence, without the high cost of running thousands of shots on physical QPUs.
Host Konstantinos Karagiannis sits down with Izhar Medalsy, co-founder and CEO of Quantum Elements, to also explore the cutting-edge intersection of AI and quantum engineering, highlighting a “quantum copilot” in Constellation powered by Claude. This AI-native platform doesn't just help write context-specific code; it also acts as a virtual supervisor that can troubleshoot failed experiments by comparing real-world results with first-principles simulations. Whether you are a professional looking to optimize algorithms through advanced error suppression or a researcher seeking a hardware-agnostic layer to run code across different vendors, listen and learn how digital virtualization might play a key role.

Let’s look to 2026 and recap a pivotal 2025 with Paul Terry, CEO of Photonic. Explore why the industry has officially moved past the era of noisy qubits into the race for fault-tolerant, "gold-standard" logical qubits. Paul joins host Konstantinos Karagiannis to break down Photonic’s selection for DARPA’s Quantum Benchmarking Initiative Stage B and explains how their unique distributed architecture — which uses telecom-grade photons to entangle qubits across networks — allows them to bypass the scaling limitations of monolithic chips. He also details the game-changing shift to LDPC error correction codes, which is drastically reducing the physical resources needed to achieve utility-scale quantum computing.
Paul offers a series of provocative predictions for the coming year, ranging from G7 governments "leaning in" heavily on funding to the emergence of AI as the primary interface for programming quantum machines. He outlines an ambitious roadmap to have 40,000 logical qubits in service by 2030, unlocking massive potential in chemistry and finance, while also addressing the looming reality of the quantum threat to encryption. Tune in to hear why the network is becoming the computer and why the coming year will be defined by business cases rather than hardware metrics.

Traffic congestion isn't just a daily annoyance; it’s a multi-billion dollar drain on the global economy. In this episode, we explore a concrete, real-world application of quantum computing that aims to solve this problem today. Tal David, Co-founder and CEO of Quantum Art, joins host Konstantinos Karagiannis to discuss the company’s major new partnership with Ayalon Highways in Israel. Tal breaks down how they are moving beyond theoretical simulations to use quantum algorithms for synchronizing traffic lights and managing flow in metropolitan areas, potentially reducing commute times and optimizing city planning in ways classical computers simply can't handle.
Beyond the use case, Tal takes us under the hood of Quantum Art’s unique trapped-ion architecture. Unlike competitors that rely on physically shuttling ions, Quantum Art utilizes optical tweezers and massive multi-qubit gates to perform operations on dozens of qubits at once, drastically improving speed and fidelity. We also dive into their aggressive roadmap, which includes a 50-qubit system launching soon, a 1,000-qubit "Perspective" system targeted for 2027, and how they are leveraging NVIDIA technology to power the hybrid future of quantum-classical processing.

We cover post-quantum cryptography (PQC) regularly on this show, focusing on the new math-based ciphers that will secure the Internet as quantum computing becomes more powerful. But what about physics-based encryption or quantum key distribution (QKD)? Is that still a thing? We examine how exploiting the laws of quantum physics can securely exchange encryption keys over a fiber and explore the benefits of the newer continuous-variable QKD. CVQKD leverages off-the-shelf telecom components for affordability, integrates with existing data networks, achieves higher key-generation rates, and reaches distances of up to 100 kilometers without requiring dark fibers. Real-world demos include securely linking hospitals in Madrid for remote consultations via Telefonica's network, and there could be a future where QKD devices are integrated into our home routers, democratizing quantum security.

The word “foundry” might make you think of large machines pouring metal into molds, but Argonne National Labs has a Quantum Foundry that implants individual atoms, like silicon, into materials such as diamond. The resulting spin qubits are optically active and can use photons to communicate. We can expect spin qubits to help interconnect systems, which could help us achieve distributed quantum computing, but they also could be used for everything from room-temperature biological sensors to durable, space-based dark matter detectors. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a cosmic chat with Benjamin Pingault from Argonne National Laboratory.

For the first time, Shor’s Algorithm is running on logical qubits! The team at Infleqtion used their Sqale neutral atom processor to accomplish the feat. While the setup only uses six logical qubits, and we’re still in the range of factoring 15 or 21, this is both a proof of concept and a proof of the need for post-quantum cryptography (PQC). We discuss the aggressive 2.5:1 physical-to-logical ratio of Sqale, which could lead to hundreds of logical qubits by 2028. Also, find out why Shor’s Algorithm could surprisingly end up being one of the first killer apps for quantum computing, rather than a later use case.

When NIST released the first post-quantum cryptography standards in August 2024, it set off a domino effect that will hopefully result in protecting the world from the quantum computing threat. Now that we’re beginning to migrate and trust our data to lattice-based cryptography, it’s a good time to examine how ML-KEM works and get some hints about how to implement it well. And who better to ask than one of the coauthors of the PQC standard? Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a wide-ranging chat with Joppe Bos from NXP, where they discuss the past and future of ML-KEM. For more information on NXP, visit www.nxp.com/.

Post-quantum cryptography is rapidly moving from the realm of NIST standards to running in production. The threat of quantum computing advances and coming regulations are driving this acceleration. One major component on the PQC migration plan for companies is VPN. In this episode we look at the Ambit corporate VPN client, which uses a standardized NIST PQC cipher: ML-KEM. Did you know there are potential gotchas with trying hybrids of classical and PQC instead? Find out the technical and philosophical reasons why the developers chose to skip offering a hybrid option. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a wide-ranging chat with Kevin Kane and Andrew McElroy from American Binary.

What better way to celebrate four years and 100 episodes of The Post-Quantum World than to talk about an achievement we’ve all been waiting for. If you’ve been watching quantum news feeds, you might have heard of the D-Wave supremacy paper published in Science. Using an Advantage 2 system, D-Wave has performed a useful task for materials science faster and with less power consumption than a classical supercomputer. Researchers have tried to challenge this, but the results seem to be holding up. Has the team at D-Wave really done it? Are quantum computers finally passing the threshold into true utility? Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a wide-ranging chat about this remarkable achievement with CEO Alan Baratz and CDO Trevor Lanting from D-Wave.

Migrating to post-quantum cryptography across an organization will take time. But while you are replacing every cipher to defend against the threat side of quantum computing, you may also want to add systems that bring new functionality and come with PQC out of the gate. Imagine a mobile messaging app like WhatsApp, but with NIST-approved ML-KEM under the hood and enterprise-grade controls. From hospitals dodging ransomware to finance professionals sharing secrets in quantum-proof chats, customers are already using this tool.

Quantum computing needs low-overhead error correction to truly scale. Building thousands of qubits to end up with a couple of useful logical ones feels like a bad strategy. Photonic recently published a paper describing a new type of error correction code that promises a 20x reduction in the number of qubits needed to run quantum algorithms that solve real business problems. Are these so-called SHYPS QLDPC codes the path to fault-tolerant systems? Will they help multiple types of quantum chips from other vendors get there? Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat about error correction and more with Stephanie Simmons from Photonic.

Quantum computing will never be the same again. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a special onsite interview at Microsoft Azure Quantum labs, where he was invited to see the launch of Majorana 1, the world’s first quantum processor powered by topological qubits. On the day this episode is posted, Nature will release a paper validating how Microsoft was able to create a topoconductor, or new material stack of indium arsenide and aluminum, built literally one atom at a time, to bring quantum particles called Majoranas into usable form. The resulting topological qubits have a unique shape called a tetron and can be accurately measured with lower errors than other modalities. Starting with a 4x2 grid of qubits, this same tiny device will hold 1 million qubits in a few years because of its unique system of wiring and measurement. This interview with Chetan Nayak from Microsoft happened a few feet away from a working Majorana 1 system.

I'm always asked the same question when talking to customers about the threats of quantum computing and the move to post-quantum cryptography. What are similar companies doing about it? It’s only been half a year since the NIST standards were published, but we’re starting to see some traction. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat with Samantha Mabey from Entrust about an interesting study on migration, along with some tactical advice for getting your PQC journey underway.

Many companies call 2025 the year of quantum computing for reasons ranging from PQC to better applications and hardware. Here comes the Helios system from Quantinuum, and we say it’s all right to celebrate 50 logical qubits this year. We look at the company’s roadmap, aggressive error-correction ratios, and some innovative ways the coming systems will work with AI to solve problems and not just generate hype.

Most applications businesses rely on are complex, with subroutines, loops, etc. Is it possible to run a binary like this on a quantum computer? Not quite, but one company has a tool that identifies portions of code where quantum computing circuits could make a difference and then manages the necessary handoffs. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis as he discusses the future of running programs on both classical chips and qubits with Joe Fitzsimons from Horizon Quantum.

You could summarize 2024 in two quantum computing topics: the release of the NIST PQC standards and the arrival of logical qubits. We dig into the latter in this episode. Atom Computing recently performed computation on 28 logical qubits with the help of Microsoft’s qubit virtualization. The future roadmap is optimistic and exciting for those looking for quantum advantage from hardware. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis as he discusses how we get to fault-tolerant systems with Kristen Pudenz from Atom Computing. Her experience at Lockheed Martin has also led to a unique view of developing practical quantum applications.

If you’re a longtime listener, you probably have heard that we can’t simulate more than 50 qubits on a classical computer. Representing each qubit doubles the required system resources, and state vector simulation hits a wall even on supercomputers. But what if there was a different way to break this barrier, even on a laptop? Is the threat to cryptography on an accelerated timeline because of this or other techniques? Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis as he discusses with Bob Wold from Quantum Rings how tensor networks may take us into new realms of practical quantum computing for everyone.

To modify a Feynman quote, we can safely say that no one understands quantum … networking. The definition does mean different things to different folks. Sometimes, the best way to solidify a concept is to bring it to the real world. It turns out there is a way to experiment with quantum networking, and you wouldn’t believe how it’s already being used to interconnect different quantum computing modalities (for example, superconducting and trapped-ion systems). You read that correctly; we didn’t think this would be possible for quite some time. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a wide-ranging chat with Jim Ricotta from Aliro.

Error correction typically involves a lot of physical qubits and using them to create one logical qubit. Ratios vary by modality and approach, so getting a single fault-tolerant qubit may take seven to a thousand physical ones. What if there was a way to correct most of the errors that appear on each qubit instead? Scaling up from there would certainly be much easier, getting us to machines that can reliably solve business problems. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis as he discusses the details behind one such new approach with Julien Camirand Lemyre from Nord Quantique.

When Richard Feynman proposed the idea of a quantum simulator or computer in 1981, he was frustrated by the limitations of classical systems. He logically suggested that if we live in a quantum world, we need a quantum device to simulate all the interactions of particles that make up reality. An excellent example of such a transistor-choking calculation is the quantum many-body problem. Have quantum computers finally cracked it and reached the level of Feynman’s original idea? Can working on such approaches lead to better quantum computers and help solve real business use cases soon? Join Host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat with Benedikt Fauseweh from TU Dortmund University and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) as they explore these topics and whether this work has anything to do with The Three-Body Problem novel and Netflix show.

Large language models are … large. Forget Bitcoin and recharging electric vehicles; the grid could be toppled by powering AI in a few years. It would be optimal if AI could run on more underpowered edge devices. What if there was a quantum-inspired way to make LLMs smaller without sacrificing overall performance in combined metrics? We explore a way to do that and other advanced ideas, like selectively removing information from models, in this episode.

In 1981, Richard Feynman gave a keynote that proposed simulating physics with computers. We’ve come a long way with the resulting quantum computers, and you may have heard about business use cases for them. But how much progress has been made in using the machines to understand the universe? Who better to ask than Dr. Harry Cliff from the Large Hadron Collider? He discusses how quantum computers can simulate particle interactions or handle the mind-boggling amounts of data generated at CERN. We also dive into his new book, Space Oddities.

Quantum computing needs logical, error-corrected qubits to reach the ultimate goal of fault-tolerant systems that can change the world. Without logical qubits, we won’t be able to have production-ready business use cases that are pure quantum. Is it too early to be thinking about creating these “perfect” qubits? One company says it’s already tackling the problem with a new take on the old quantum-classical Schrödinger’s Cat thought experiment.

Monte Carlo simulations have been around for quite a while in classical computing. They help companies model potential outcomes of a broad range of “what if” scenarios. Since 2015, the quantum computing industry has believed Monte Carlo simulations would be one of the best use cases to show quantum advantage. QC Ware was able to prove the feasibility of this approach recently, working with Goldman Sachs. And now they want to share that field-tested approach, along with other use cases, in a powerful tool.

D-Wave has been making quantum computers for over a decade, and their annealers excel at optimization. If you look at the use cases the company has been helping customers with, it almost feels like quantum advantage is here. If you’re saving time or money, or both, how can you complain? And even after the other type of quantum computers, universal-gate-based systems, become fault tolerant, annealers will likely be around forever due to how powerful they are at specific use cases (sort of like how graphics cards work alongside CPUs). Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat about all this with Alex Condello from D-Wave Systems Inc.

Ever notice that giant tech companies seem to receive press coverage for privacy concerns as often as they do for new product launches? How did we end up in this world of playing catch-up with the ethical implications of technology? Quantum computing is still relatively new, but it will impact machine learning, encryption and other areas that will have major repercussions on all our futures. Can we avoid the mistakes of the past and build ethics into this field? Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat about these issues and more with Faye Wattleton from EeroQ.

Compared to a couple of years ago, we’re spoiled by how many real quantum computers we can access online today. Some systems are available through multi-hardware cloud sites like Microsoft Azure Quantum and Amazon Braket; some through individual system manufacturer’s own sites. As more machines come online, and more businesses compete for quantum compute time, things are starting to get a little complicated. Strangeworks is working on making it easy for customers to control access and costs, all while providing shorter queue times to specific systems. Sometimes the best quantum computer for your use case is the one you can actually get some time on! Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat about all this with Cesar Rodriguez from Strangeworks.

Classical computing cannot simulate more than about 50 qubits. What does it mean that we now have a quantum computer with, gasp, 100 qubits? ColdQuanta found a way to beat giants like IBM to this amazing feat, and they did it with a new approach that may lead to smaller quantum computing systems that one day could be rack-mountable. Like a reverse microwave, the new Hilbert computer uses lasers to slow down particle vibrations to make them “cold” and able to act as qubits. Hilbert even touts low errors and high connectivity. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat about this not-so-cold system with Paul Lipman from ColdQuanta.

As we begin training and building up the quantum workforce of the future, it’s clear the precious few developers working in these early days will need some help making the most of their time. We’re starting to see a few players in the quantum development tool market. Instead of worrying about gate-level coding, the Quantum Algorithm Design (QAD) platform from Classiq lets developers take high-level descriptions and turn them into quantum circuits that can run on any hardware target. Is QAD the new CAD for the world of qubits? Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat about this new application with Yuval Boger from Classiq.

Trapped ion and transmon qubits are dominant in the world of gate-based quantum computers. In this episode, we take a look at a new type of system that uses electrons in superfluid helium. The approach promises over 1-GHz gate speed, spin-state qubits with over 1-second coherence times, and high connectivity or “gateability.” Will these machines also be linkable or modular? We also discuss funding for quantum startups and whether we dodged a “quantum winter.” Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat about this new type of quantum computer with Nick Farina from EeroQ.

Finding a specific use case that proves quantum advantage will radically kickstart the quantum computing industry. While universal gate-based quantum computers with error correction are a few years away, annealers – quantum systems from D-Wave – are proving excellent at specific types of problems today, especially in a hybrid approach aided by classical computers. Just how excellent are these systems? We might finally have an example of portfolio optimization that provides a thousandfold boost in speed. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat about this amazing use case with Sam Mugel from Multiverse Computing. Is 2021 the year for advantage?
