The Post-Quantum World

The fear of a quantum cryptographic apocalypse has been with us since the 1990s and has launched quite a few careers and companies. Post-Quantum, no relation to this show, has been developing end-to-end solutions for quantum-secure communications since 2009, and they recently participated in a year-long proof of concept with NATO. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat on practical solutions to prepare for the cryptographic apocalypse with Andersen Cheng from Post-Quantum.For more on Post-Quantum, visit https://post-quantum.com/index.html.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: @ProtivitiTech.

Getting to fault-tolerant quantum computing requires improving qubit quality. The dream of engineers is the “four nines,” or 99.99 percent fidelity. Quantinuum, well known for its H1 trapped-ion system, has found a way to achieve this elusive goal by switching from ytterbium to barium-137. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat on the latest research coming from Tony Ransford and team at Quantinuum.For more on Quantinuum, visit www.quantinuum.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: @ProtivitiTech.

According to one source, there are currently 1,600 job openings in quantum computing. Evidence of a skills shortage, no doubt. A shortage that is only likely to become a bigger issue moving forward. What does it take to start a quantum career path? Is a PhD a must-have? Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat on becoming part of our growing industry with Denise Ruffner from Atom Computing.For more on Atom Computing, visit https://atom-computing.com/.For more on the Chicago Quantum Exchange Quantum Recruiting Forum, visit https://chicagoquantum.org/event/quantum-recruiting-forum.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: @ProtivitiTech.

Quantum machine learning, or QML, is one of the three major application categories for quantum computing, along with optimization and simulation. As we’re working with customers at Protiviti to find advantageous use cases in QML, we rely daily on a tool called PennyLane from Xanadu. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis, and special cohost Emily Stamm, for a chat with Nathan Killoran from Xanadu to learn about this powerful, free software.For more on Xanadu, visit https://www.xanadu.ai/.For more on PennyLane, visit https://pennylane.ai/.To read the paper “Is quantum advantage the right goal for quantum machine learning?” visit https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.01340.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: @ProtivitiTech.

Quantum volume. Algorithmic qubits. Qubit counts in general. What do they really tell us about the usability and power of a quantum computer? As we learned from classical computing, only benchmark software can really compare how systems perform different tasks. Super.tech is back to discuss their SupermarQ benchmark suite that gives us real performance data for quantum hardware. Host Konstantinos Karagiannis chats with Pranav Gokhale and Fred Chong from Super.tech.For more on Super.tech SupermarQ, visit www.super.tech/supermarq/.You can also find SupermarQ on Github at https://github.com/SupertechLabs/SupermarQ.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: @ProtivitiTech.

Nearly US$1 billion in funding poured into the quantum computing industry last year. One company, PsiQuantum, received about half of that! What are they building? Nothing less than a photonic quantum computer with a million qubits. How does this machine compare to trapped ion and transmon approaches from the competition? And, more importantly, how soon could this quantum computing behemoth be available to help change the world?

We’re currently in the quantum economy 2.0. What was 1.0? We discuss this with someone who spent over two decades at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and who now consults with companies on a range of policy issues relating to the quantum economy. We also explore the business outlook for various quantum computing and sensing technologies.
