Today, Steve is in conversation with Jaya Baloo, COO at Aisle. One of the world’s leading experts on quantum technology and cybersecurity, Jaya shares what the future of quantum computing looks like and what businesses can do to prepare for a quantum-prevalent world. She also offers her view of how cyber and quantum technology will co-evolve in the next 10 to 20 years. 

Key Takeaways:

  1. You should have started preparing for quantum yesterday.
  2. Cybersecurity stands out among areas of quantum as a space where quantum may first be used by governments to attack adversaries.
  3. More diversity is needed in quantum development. 
    4. Tune in to hear more about:
    1. How to begin your journey to quantum-ready today (8:17)
    2. How diversity can shape responsible development of quantum (13:48)
    3. Jaya Baloo’s view on quantum in 10-20 years (15:58)
      4. Standout Quotes:
      1. “ Cybersecurity is something really special here because unfortunately we do not have only from quantum, the same ability to protect as we have to attack. And I worry that the first application of these technologies beyond the sensors, the first real application from governments will be that offensive use to attack our current cryptographic stack.” - Jaya Baloo
      2. “I think in general, especially now with the whole onslaught against everything DEI, I actually think it's such a shame to waste time on excluding anyone from anything. We really need the best skillset we can possibly get. And what you see is that, especially in areas like quantum, there's not enough diversity.” - Jaya Baloo
      3. “So what I really think that we need to think about is how do we democratize, as much as possible, access to our defense against a potential quantum threat, and how do we democratize the availability of quantum computing in order to benefit all of humanity?” - Jaya Baloo
