From Firewalls to Quantum Shields: A Blueprint for PQC Migration – with Rich Campagna of Palo Alto Networks

Episode 114

Wednesday, October 15, 2025 • Duration 36:29

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.

A 100-Qubit Quantum Computer Arrives - with Paul Lipman from ColdQuanta

Wednesday, September 8, 2021 • Duration 33:49

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.

Bridging the Gap Between Algorithms and Machines - with Fred Chong from EPiQC

Wednesday, August 25, 2021 • Duration 35:47

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.

Turning High-Level Models into Optimized Quantum Circuits - with Yuval Boger from Classiq

Wednesday, August 11, 2021 • Duration 33:32

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.

Building a New Type of Quantum Computer with Superfluid Helium - with Nick Farina from EeroQ

Wednesday, July 28, 2021 • Duration 33:48

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.

Using Post-Quantum Cryptography Today - with Denis Mandich from Qrypt

Wednesday, July 14, 2021 • Duration 36:28

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. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat about post-quantum cryptography you can implement today with Denis Mandich from Qrypt.
