Podcast | Quantum-Inspired Approaches for Advantage Today with Multiverse Computing

February 22, 2023

As NISQ-era quantum computing improves, we’re on the cusp of practical advantage within a couple of years. But some companies want to see impressive performance today. That’s where quantum-inspired solutions can provide up to triple the power, all on classical hardware. Learning quantum-inspired programming could even help coders migrate to real quantum computers in the future. Could these approaches even improve…

Podcast | The Real Date of the Quantum Computing Apocalypse and What the White House Says We’ll Do About It

February 8, 2023

Will quantum computers be able to crack RSA this decade? Maybe. But figuring out that exact date is not what you and your organisation should be worried about. A memorandum issued by the White House reveals when the quantum computing apocalypse will begin as far as information security boots on the ground are concerned. Join Host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a deep dive into the NSM-10 memo and its near-term…

Podcast | Application-Specific Quantum Computing – with Anastasia Marchenkova Bleximo

January 25, 2023

Squeezing every bit of performance out of a NISQ-era quantum processor is usually handled in the software stack. But what if you could actually design QPUs for specific types of use cases? Anastasia Marchenkova is working on this approach at Bleximo and the result has been a remarkable boost to speed. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat about the possibilities of these application-specific quantum…
