The Superposition Guy's Podcast

Sean Sullivan and Manish Singh, co-founders of MemQ, are interviewed by Yuval Boger. Sean and Manish discuss their company's goal of developing a platform that is native to silicon for rare earth ion-based qubits with a focus on quantum communications, the need for quantum repeaters to extend quantum information transmission distances, the potential use cases for memQ's technology, compatibility with existing telecom infrastructure, scalability challenges, and much more.

Marcin Dukalski, of the Aramco Research Center, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Marcin discusses his team's focus on advanced computing for Aramco's upstream business. He elaborates on the computationally intensive nature of subsurface imaging and how they are working to make it more manageable through quantum computing. He envisions a hybrid approach, combining quantum and classical computing, for the foreseeable future. By the end of the year, he expects end-users at Aramco to begin solving shallow subsurface anomaly estimation problems using quantum computers.

Kanav Setia, CEO of qBraid, discusses the benefits of the platform for quantum computing users, scalability for teams, company's size and funding sources, future prospects in the quantum software industry, high-level quantum programming languages, transitioning algorithms to production, and enabling code monetization.

Ish Dhand, CEO and co-founder of QC Design, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. They discuss the company's focus on advancing fault tolerance in quantum computing, their architectures and software tools to help manufacturers build scalable and reliable quantum computers. We talk about their "blueprints" for building fault-tolerant systems, the "boosts" to improve existing hardware, and much more.

Rebecca Krauthamer, co-founder and Chief Product Officer at QuSecure, a company focusing on addressing the quantum security threat, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Rebecca and Yuval discuss QuSecure’s products that help organizations adopt post-quantum cryptography without needing to rip-and-replace existing infrastructure, ethical considerations in quantum technology, and much more.

Tommaso Demarie, CEO and co-founder of Entropica Labs, discusses their focus on quantum computing middleware, potential timelines for quantum computing advancements, challenges in implementing quantum error correction, and their choice for a dinner companion from the past: Einstein and Bohr.

André König, CEO of Global Quantum Intelligence, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Andre and Yuval discuss the increasing global interest in quantum technologies, the challenges of scaling and commercialization, and the evolving investment landscape. He also touches on the complexities of geopolitical strategies, including export and import controls, the rise of "quantum nationalism", the need for startups to focus on specific use cases while also dreaming big, and much more.

Carmen Recio and Sergio Gago, Moody's Analytics, are interviewed by Yuval Boger. They discuss the intersection of quantum and AI, the importance of quantum computing in financial risk modeling, machine learning, and optimization, the need for businesses to stay ahead of the curve by understanding how quantum computing integrates into existing processes, Moody's role in bridging the gap between quantum companies and end-users, and much more.

Will Oliver, a professor at MIT, and Steve Suarez, an innovation advisor and CEO of HorizonX Consulting. are interviewed by Yuval Boger. Will elaborates on the challenges and opportunities in quantum computing, particularly the need for 3D integration to efficiently control large arrays of qubits. Steve shares his journey into quantum computing and his advice to innovation leaders. They then discuss quantum's current state and future prospects, the intersection of quantum computing with AI, the role of cloud-based quantum services, and much more.

Ramy Shelbaya, the co-founder and CEO of Quantum Dice, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Ramy and I discuss their encryption key generation approach using quantum technology, randomness self-verification, how their technology interfaces with cybersecurity products, the potential for keys on the cloud, and much more.
