The Post-Quantum World Podcast
1) Quantum vs. Traffic: A Real-World Optimization Use Case — with Tal David of Quantum Art
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 ...Show More
2) Whispering Quantum Keys … Is QKD Still Viable as PQC? — with Vanesa Diaz of LuxQuanta
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...Show More
3) Spin Qubits: Sensing Heartbeats to Dark Matter – with Benjamin Pingault of Argonne National Laboratory
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...Show More
4) From Quantum Economy to Simulation Theory – with Anders Indset
How are recent quantum computing breakthroughs reshaping business, competition, and society itself? What global challenges might quantum and AI either help with or introduce? We’re trying something a ...Show More
5) From Firewalls to Quantum Shields: A Blueprint for PQC Migration – with Rich Campagna of Palo Alto Networks
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...Show More
6) Room Temperature Quantum Computing - with Marcus Doherty of Quantum Brilliance
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 t...Show More
7) Running Shor’s Algorithm on Logical Qubits - with Peter Noell of Infleqtion
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, ...Show More
8) Welcome to the Quantum Network – with Reza Nejabati and Ramana Kompella of Cisco
Imagine a world where quantum computers seamlessly share entangled particles across data centers, solving problems beyond the reach of classical systems. This may be possible soon thanks to a groundbr...Show More
9) One PQC Playbook – with Kevin Hilscher of DigiCert
DigiCert is widely recognized for its expertise in PKI and as a TLS certificate authority. As you can imagine, they have a significant perspective on the quantum computing threat to encryption and the...Show More
10) Cracking Encryption by 2030? – with Dean Kassmann of IonQ
IonQ is poised to redefine the quantum computing landscape, projecting a staggering 80,000 logical qubits by 2030—potentially unlocking the power to crack encryption. NIST has us on a timeline to upgr...Show More
