As NISQ-era quantum computing improves, we’re on the cusp of practical advantage within a couple of years. But some companies want to see impressive performance today. That’s where quantum-inspired solutions can provide up to triple the power, all on classical hardware. Learning quantum-inspired programming could even help coders migrate to real quantum computers in the future. Could these approaches even improve ChatGPT and stable diffusion AI such as Midjourney or DALL-E? Join Host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a quantum-inspired chat with Roman Orus from Multiverse Computing.

Will quantum computers be able to crack RSA this decade? Maybe. But figuring out that exact date is not what you and your organization should be worried about. A memorandum issued by the White House reveals when the quantum computing apocalypse will begin as far as information security boots on the ground are concerned. Join Host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a deep dive into the NSM-10 memo and its near-term ramifications for the private sector.

Papers mentioned:
Where we get estimates for cracking RSA (https://arxiv.org/abs/1611.07995) and blockchain (https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.06752).

Squeezing every bit of performance out of a NISQ-era quantum processor is usually handled in the software stack. But what if you could actually design QPUs for specific types of use cases? Anastasia Marchenkova is working on this approach at Bleximo and the result has been a remarkable boost to speed. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat about the possibilities of these application-specific quantum computers, as well as the terrific awareness work Anastasia has been doing for years.

We’ve talked about how quantum computers are enabling extraordinary use cases now, long before the machines will threaten cryptography. Some of these applications can even help companies protect against immediate security threats and vulnerabilities. We explore one such exciting experiment: Using quantum to stop kill chains that allow network exploitation and the Chinese paper causing all the ruckus, claiming that cryptography could be hacked any day now. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat about these hacker topics with Mark Carney from Quantum Village.

The word hybrid often appears in quantum computing and can mean different things. Learn how blending bits and qubits may help companies achieve real benefits today while beginning their quantum journeys. Then in the coming months and years, we’ll be able to move the slider closer to pure quantum as we achieve true advantage in use cases with those machines. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat about blending classical power and trapped ions with Matthew Keesan from IonQ.

We’re getting close to practical advantage with quantum computing when running optimization algorithms. Companies interested in being leaders in their industry should already be considering how to harness this promised power with use cases that solve their business problems. But some companies want a better solution that’s advantageous today, even if it’s only quantum-inspired. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat with Mert Esencan from Icosa Computing to explore what “quantum inspired” means and how these approaches are already having a real-world impact.

Quantum computing is built on the ideas of giants. These so-called quantum foundations contain complicated concepts, including entanglement. In fact, the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to three scientists who expanded our understanding of entanglement. How does this key concept work? What are some other fascinating core ideas behind Quantum Information Science (QIS)? Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat with Bob Coecke from Quantinuum to explore quantum foundations.

Quantum computing requires quantum networking to reach its full potential. But there are engineering challenges to overcome. Learn how repeaters that extend entanglement between qubits are really just application-specific quantum computers of their own, as well as how connecting these devices will pave the way for interconnect and other advances.
