The migration to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is about to begin and is necessary to protect against the threats of fault-tolerant quantum computing. However, critical assets like those in military, banking and government environments also require other layers of security and strategies, such as zero trust and increased encryption bit sizes. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis as he discusses with his guest, Richard Blech from XSOC, a high-performance symmetric encryption solution that will provide defense in-depth today and after thousands of logical qubits arrive.

August in Vegas brings intense (but dry) heat and the annual Summer Hacker Camp of events. Arguably, the most fun and intriguing of the bunch is DEF CON (August 8-11, 2024), the world’s leading hacking conference, 32 years strong. The show features the third year of the Quantum Village. And for the second year in a row, host Konstantinos Karagiannis will be speaking. Join him for a chat with Mark Carney and Victoria Kumaran to learn how you can get hands-on experience with quantum computing and related security tech and techniques at the show.

Error correction typically involves a lot of physical qubits and using them to create one logical qubit. Ratios vary by modality and approach, so getting a single fault-tolerant qubit may take seven to a thousand physical ones. What if there was a way to correct most of the errors that appear on each qubit instead? Scaling up from there would certainly be much easier, getting us to machines that can reliably solve business problems. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis as he discusses the details behind one such new approach with Julien Camirand Lemyre from Nord Quantique.

When Richard Feynman proposed the idea of a quantum simulator or computer in 1981, he was frustrated by the limitations of classical systems. He logically suggested that if we live in a quantum world, we need a quantum device to simulate all the interactions of particles that make up reality. An excellent example of such a transistor-choking calculation is the quantum many-body problem. Have quantum computers finally cracked it and reached the level of Feynman’s original idea? Can working on such approaches lead to better quantum computers and help solve real business use cases soon? Join Host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat with Benedikt Fauseweh from TU Dortmund University and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) as they explore these topics and whether this work has anything to do with The Three-Body Problem novel and Netflix show.

Large language models are … large. Forget Bitcoin and recharging electric vehicles; the grid could be toppled by powering AI in a few years. It would be optimal if AI could run on more underpowered edge devices. What if there was a quantum-inspired way to make LLMs smaller without sacrificing overall performance in combined metrics? We explore a way to do that and other advanced ideas, like selectively removing information from models, in this episode. Join Host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat about how businesses can solve many of the woes associated with bringing AI in-house with Sam Mugel from Multiverse.

The phrase “quantum internet” gets tossed around a lot, usually as a placeholder for something that will fix many nonspecific issues in the future. The core concept of quantum networking is a real thing, though, and is more robust today than you might think. How does it work? How fast is it? And is it really running in the Big Apple? Join Host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat with Noel Goddard from Qunnect as they explore all this and potential business use cases.

Is post-quantum cryptography safe from quantum computing? Do we really need thousands of qubits to attack RSA? We examine some of the challenges to PQC strength and timeline that have recently emerged in scientific papers and consider what makes peer review such a crucial part of the process. Join Host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat about the actual state of PQC and how it will affect your organization.

While we await practical business advantage with quantum computing, another important question arises: Has quantum information science already furthered our understanding of science? What’s the difference between a simulator and an emulator, and how does a physical quantum computer fit in? Join Host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat with Lincoln Carr from Colorado School of Mines as they explore these topics, along with everything from tensor networks, to thermodynamics, to complexity, with an eye to how the hardware timeline will make practical power a reality.

There’s been much speculation about how fault-tolerant quantum computing might accelerate the power of artificial intelligence in the future. But what if those technologies switched roles? AI is already improving certain aspects of current quantum technology. Find out how businesses and verticals can start to use these techniques for real use cases in quantum sensing, simulation and migration to post-quantum cryptography.

In 1981, Richard Feynman gave a keynote that proposed simulating physics with computers. We’ve come a long way with the resulting quantum computers, and you may have heard about business use cases for them. But how much progress has been made in using the machines to understand the universe? Who better to ask than Dr. Harry Cliff from the Large Hadron Collider? He discusses how quantum computers can simulate particle interactions or handle the mind-boggling amounts of data generated at CERN. We also dive into his new book, Space Oddities. Join Host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat with Harry Cliff from Cambridge and the LHCb experiment.

Space Oddities is available beginning March 26, 2024, wherever books are sold.
