This morning, the ISARA Corp., the world’s leading provider of quantum-safe security solutions, announced the launch of the ISARA Advance® Crypto Agility Suite, a first-of-its-kind enterprise solution that allows organizations to discover their cryptographic blind spots and equip them to take action against the looming threat of encryption-breaking quantum computers. So, today, we meet: Mr. Mike Brown, the Chief Technology Officer and co-founder of the ISARA Corporation. The ISARA Corporation’s vision is a world where consumers, enterprises, and governments can benefit from the power of quantum computing with protection against quantum attacks. And, Mike is focused on the technical vision and direction of the company.

The Quantum AI Series features exclusive interviews of the global innovators shaping the future of quantum computing. In Episode 4, Maëva Ghonda, the founder and chair of the Quantum AI Institute, interviews Dr. Michele Mosca, CEO of evolutionQ Inc. Dr. Mosca is an entrepreneur, an inventor, a professor and the co-founder of the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo. He has made significant contributions to the development of quantum computer algorithms and he pioneered implementations of quantum algorithms using nuclear magnetic resonance.

Dr. Mosca earned his PhD in Mathematics in 1999 from Oxford on the topic of Quantum Computer Algorithms. His research interests include quantum computation and cryptographic tools. He is globally recognized for his drive to help academia, industry and government prepare our cyber systems to be safe in an era with quantum computers. Dr. Mosca’s countless awards and honors include the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal in 2013 and a Knighthood in the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic in 2018.

The Quantum AI Series features exclusive interviews of the global innovators shaping the future of quantum computing. In Episode 3, Maëva Ghonda, the founder and chair of the Quantum AI Institute, interviews Dr. John Martinis, master inventor and CEO of Quantala. Quantala's mission is to help build a fully functional quantum computer by identifying and solving technical roadblocks.

Dr. John Martinis has been focusing on quantum computing since the late 1990s. He did pioneering experiments in superconducting qubits in the mid-1980s for his PhD thesis. From 2014 to 2020, Dr. John Martinis worked at Google to build a useful quantum computer, culminating in a quantum supremacy experiment in 2019. In 2014, Dr. John Martinis was awarded the London Prize in Low temperature physics for his work in this field. And, this year, Dr. Martinis was awarded the John Bell prize.

The Quantum AI Series features exclusive interviews of the global innovators shaping the future of quantum computing. In Episode 2, Maëva Ghonda, the founder and chair of the Quantum AI Institute, interviews Nir Minerbi, the co-founder and CEO of Classiq Technologies. Nir has a history of leading cutting-edge technology teams to extraordinary outcomes. He has a Master's degree in Physics and is a graduate of the prestigious 'Talpiot' program.

Classiq is the quantum software development company based in Tel Aviv that is accelerating breakthrough innovations with their revolutionary quantum algorithm design platform. Although it was founded―just a year ago―in May 2020, this impressive startup has already raised $14 million in venture funding.
