The Post-Quantum World

The cryptographic apocalypse could be under five years away, depending on interconnect technologies that might allow quantum computers to work together. Is now the time to start planning for, or even implementing, post-quantum safe cryptography? It all depends on the shelf life of the data you’re trying to protect. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat about post-quantum cryptography you can implement today with Denis Mandich from Qrypt.For more information on Qrypt, visit www.qrypt.com.Visit Protiviti at www.protiviti.com/postquantum to learn more about how Protiviti is helping organizations get post-quantum ready.Follow host Konstantinos Karagiannis on Twitter and Instagram: @KonstantHacker and follow Protiviti Technology on LinkedIn and Twitter: @ProtivitiTechTheme song by David Schwartz, copyright 2021.Visit Protiviti at www.protiviti.com/US-en/technology-consulting/quantum-computing-services  to learn more about how Protiviti is helping organizations get post-quantum ready.  Follow host Konstantinos Karagiannis on all socials: @KonstantHacker and follow Protiviti Technology on LinkedIn and X: @ProtivitiTech.             Questions and comments are welcome!  Theme song by David Schwartz, copyright 2021.  The views expressed by the participants of this program are their own and do not represent the views of, nor are they endorsed by, Protiviti Inc., The Post-Quantum World, or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, shareholders, or subsidiaries.  None of the content should be considered investment advice, as an offer or solicitation of an offer to buy or sell, or as an endorsement of any company, security, fund, or other securities or non-securities offering.

Quantum computing is easy to access thanks to services like Amazon Braket. But how long does it take to apply one of these systems to a real-world use case? Sometimes months. Amazon partner Quantum Computing, Inc. (QCI) has launched Qatalyst API to shorten development time on some types of quantum coding … to under a week! Join Konstantinos Karagiannis, host of The Post-Quantum World, for a chat about how Richard Moulds and Amazon are preparing for the future of high-performance quantum computing, and how Bob Liscouski and QCI are ensuring we have the code to put those systems to amazing use.For more information on Amazon Braket, visit aws.amazon.com/braket.For more information on QCI, visit www.quantumcomputinginc.com.Visit Protiviti at www.protiviti.com/postquantum to learn more about how Protiviti is helping organizations get post-quantum ready.Follow host Konstantinos Karagiannis on Twitter and Instagram: @KonstantHacker Theme song by David Schwartz, copyright 2021.Visit Protiviti at www.protiviti.com/US-en/technology-consulting/quantum-computing-services  to learn more about how Protiviti is helping organizations get post-quantum ready.  Follow host Konstantinos Karagiannis on all socials: @KonstantHacker and follow Protiviti Technology on LinkedIn and X: @ProtivitiTech.             Questions and comments are welcome!  Theme song by David Schwartz, copyright 2021.  The views expressed by the participants of this program are their own and do not represent the views of, nor are they endorsed by, Protiviti Inc., The Post-Quantum World, or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, shareholders, or subsidiaries.  None of the content should be considered investment advice, as an offer or solicitation of an offer to buy or sell, or as an endorsement of any company, security, fund, or other securities or non-securities offering.

In this engaging discussion, Sam Mugel, CTO of Multiverse Computing, explores how quantum computing can revolutionize finance. He highlights the potential for D-Wave's quantum annealers to vastly improve portfolio optimization, claiming they can achieve results in 170 seconds compared to a day with classical methods. Sam explains the importance of hybrid systems and shares insights from a significant collaboration with BBVA. The conversation also touches on criteria for selecting quantum use cases and an optimistic prediction for demonstrating quantum advantage by Christmas.

Pranav Gokhale, co-founder and CEO of Super.tech, dives deep into the world of quantum computing, emphasizing its imminent use cases. He discusses how their hardware-agnostic API maximizes efficiency across quantum backends. Pranav also explores variational algorithms, which promise near-term advantages, and the balance between open collaboration and proprietary intellectual property. He touches on the importance of data security and emerging hardware surprises that may redefine the quantum landscape. Engage with insights that prepare companies for the quantum revolution!

Justin Ging, Chief Commercial Officer at Honeywell Quantum Solutions, dives into the realm of quantum computing in this insightful discussion. He explains how Honeywell utilizes trapped-ion systems to push the boundaries of quantum volume, revealing ambitious plans for 10x improvements. The conversation highlights the differences between Honeywell's approach and that of competitors, as well as the exciting potential of quantum advantage appearing soon. With insights into current use cases like optimization and machine learning, Justin paints a vivid picture of the future of computing.

What do you do when you’re working on what could be the world’s most powerful quantum computer … but it’s not quite ready? Well, you give access to other powerful systems via your cloud environment. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat about Microsoft Azure Cloud with Paul Edlund, Chief Technologist – Midwest for Microsoft. Paul and Konstantinos discuss software development environments and abstracting away complexity, muse on when or if topological computing will arrive (and explain it), and offer glimpses into the coming years from Microsoft’s pure science team.

IBM and IonQ promise approximately 1000-qubit quantum computers by 2023. What happens when we get to 2500 qubits? Will it be possible to threaten Bitcoin transactions, as well as those of other altcoins? Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis, Associate Director with Protiviti, for a chat on these topics with Michael Strike from The Quantum Resistant Ledger. The QRL is a cryptocurrency taking a post-quantum safe approach to blockchain. While BTC’s value may plummet at even the threat of quantum tampering, QRLs should remain immune. Can Bitcoin learn a thing or two and adapt? Will the value of QRL go up with the growing quantum industry?For more information, visit theqrl.org.Visit www.protiviti.com/postquantum to learn more about how Protiviti is helping organizations get post-quantum ready.Follow host Konstantinos Karagiannis on Twitter and Instagram: @KonstantHackerTheme song by David Schwartz, copyright 2021.Visit Protiviti at www.protiviti.com/US-en/technology-consulting/quantum-computing-services  to learn more about how Protiviti is helping organizations get post-quantum ready.  Follow host Konstantinos Karagiannis on all socials: @KonstantHacker and follow Protiviti Technology on LinkedIn and X: @ProtivitiTech.             Questions and comments are welcome!  Theme song by David Schwartz, copyright 2021.  The views expressed by the participants of this program are their own and do not represent the views of, nor are they endorsed by, Protiviti Inc., The Post-Quantum World, or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, shareholders, or subsidiaries.  None of the content should be considered investment advice, as an offer or solicitation of an offer to buy or sell, or as an endorsement of any company, security, fund, or other securities or non-securities offering.
