The Post-Quantum World – Details, episodes & analysis

You’ve likely heard of Pareto’s Principle or the 80/20 rule. Is there a way to achieve most of the benefits of crypto-agility with minimal effort? Palo Alto Networks has undoubtedly made its mark with firewalls and security detection and response offerings. We learn how they can also provide a rapid head start to PQC migration, covering everything from cryptographic inventory to creating wrappers for legacy app communications that need to remain secure against quantum computing threats. Even the latest version of their PAN-OS is PQC enabled. And you won’t believe what they’re seeing in network traffic: PQC used to hide hacking attacks? Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a wide-ranging chat with Rich Campagna from Palo Alto Networks where they cover practical ways to get your company ready for tomorrow.

Can you put a quantum computer in a satellite, car, or even laptop? It’s possible with diamond-based quantum technologies that work at room temperature. Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center qubits challenge the notion that quantum computing is confined to massive data centers. Such mass-deployable quantum computers and sensors can be used in medical diagnostics, satellite imaging, and anywhere local inference is useful. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a wide-ranging chat with Marcus Doherty from Quantum Brilliance and learn how soon we’ll have 64 mobile qubits!

Over 1,000 GPS denial attacks happen around the world … every day! If GPS fails, planes, ships and drones could be stranded in a fog of uncertainty or forced into a dangerous situation. Can the unprecedented precision of quantum sensing help? We dive into cutting-edge innovations at Q-CTRL, exploring how AI-powered quantum navigation is revolutionizing aerospace and defense, outsmarting GPS denial attacks, and unlocking a future where quantum sensors and computers converge to redefine what's possible. We also cover how AI is helping quantum computing suppress errors on the path to fault tolerance. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a wide-ranging chat with Michael Biercuk from Q-CTRL.

One of the hottest jobs in quantum computing in the coming years will be that of software engineer. The need for translating complex business needs to quantum algorithms and code will only grow. In this episode, we talk to a software engineer who’s had a unique career path. Anna Hughes earned her Ph.D. in stellar astrophysics and went from working on the potential habitability of exoplanets to working on a software platform that can help companies with portfolio optimization, derivative pricing, cyclical arbitrage and other use cases. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat about all this with Dr. Anna Hughes from Agnostiq.

Technologies like interconnect and improved memory for repeaters will enable quantum computers to accelerate in power and connectivity in the future. Q-NEXT is one of five Quantum Information Science Research Centers funded by the U.S. Department of Energy to help develop these technologies, to the tune of $115 million. The DOE is focused on strengthening the nation’s leadership position in the quantum arms race, but the technologies will benefit all areas of the industry. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat about all this, and even the development of the first IBM quantum processor, with Supratik Guha from Q-NEXT.

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.

Open source has helped revolutionize classical computing. What can it do for quantum? EPiQC is a collaboration across five universities that is developing a range of open source tools to connect algorithms to quantum computers, including programming languages, compilers, optimizers, and more. They’re also working on benchmarking, which is much needed as different types of quantum systems come online, as well as helping future quantum programmers enter the workforce. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat about all this with Fred Chong from EPiQC.

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.

The cryptographic apocalypse could be under five years away, depending on interconnect technologies that might allow quantum computers to work together. Is now the time to start planning for, or even implementing, post-quantum safe cryptography? It all depends on the shelf life of the data you’re trying to protect.
