The Superposition Guy's Podcast

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.

Brian Miles, a cybersecurity expert at AT&T, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Brian and Yuval discuss AT&T’s Quantum Security program. AT&T aims to be "quantum ready" by 2025, meaning they will understand the security gaps posed by quantum computers, have mitigation strategies, security policies, and a security architecture in place. Brian emphasizes the importance of awareness and education about quantum computing, the potential for quantum-enabled services for customers, the ongoing risk of quantum attacks, and much more.

Esperanza Cuenca Gomez, the head of strategy and outreach at Multiverse Computing, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Esperanza and Yuval discuss the company's focus on practical applications of quantum and quantum-inspired software to solve real-world problems, what types of inquiries they have been getting in recent months, the ethical implications of quantum, and much more.

Murray Thom, Vice President of Quantum Business Innovation at D-Wave Systems is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Murray and Yuval discuss D-Wave case studies, why customers move or don’t move to production, their future gate-based machine, the applicability of annealers to machine learning, quantum-inspired solutions, and much more.

Denis Mandich, CTO of Qrypt, a post-quantum encryption systems company, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Denis and Yuval talk about Qrypt's unique approach to security that replaces key distribution with key generation at the endpoints, implemented via software, how their solution works for air-gapped devices, their price structure, the human right to privacy, and much more.

Clarice Aiello, a UCLA electrical engineering faculty member, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Clarice and Yuval talk about her work in quantum biology, nature-made quantum sensors and their potential macroscopic biological impacts. They also explore the possible influence of weak magnetic fields on cellular function, a future where personalized magnetic fields could be used for specific health needs, and much more.

Niko Mohr, global leader of McKinsey's quantum technology practice, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Niko provides an overview of the findings from McKinsey's annual Quantum Monitor report, highlighting the sustained intensity of investments in quantum technology and the existing talent gap in the field. He delves into the strategic implications of quantum technology across industries, discusses his perspective on the hype and reality of quantum technology, and much more.
