TechFirst with John Koetsier

$100 trillion of annual commerce is at risk. Can quantum computing save us?

Digital security sucks, and it’s about to get much worse. The question is: can quantum computing save us?

In this episode of TechFirst I chat with Quantropi CEO James Nguyen, who has built the world's first non-photonic quantum key distribution over the Internet. He says that quantum computing is the next foundation of computing, period. And functioning, fast cryptography will open up our ability to use it, just like the internet unlocked PCs in the 90s.

At stake? $100 trillion in annual commerce. Global national security. Safety in internet of things devices. Medical privacy. And much, much, more.
