    Error correction typically involves a lot of physical qubits and using them to create one logical qubit. Ratios vary by modality and approach, so getting a single fault-tolerant qubit may take seven to a thousand physical ones. What if there was a way to correct most of the errors that appear on each qubit instead? Scaling up from there would certainly be much easier, getting us to machines that…

    2024 will be a milestone year for post-quantum cryptography, with NIST getting ready to release its new standards. We can expect proof-of-concept business use cases for quantum computing to become more common as machine fidelity and performance continue to improve. What should boards consider regarding PQC and other aspects of the quantum industry this year? Join Host Konstantinos Karagiannis for…

    Quantum computing needs error-corrected, logical qubits to exit the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era and bring real advantage to practical business and other use cases. A recent experiment at Harvard succeeded at creating 48 logical qubits on a neutral atom platform, and the techniques will be implemented in production systems in the future. We may have 100 logical qubits by 2026! Join…

    The phrase “quantum internet” gets tossed around a lot, usually as a placeholder for something that will fix many nonspecific issues in the future. The core concept of quantum networking is a real thing, though, and is more robust today than you might think. How does it work? How fast is it? And is it really running in the Big Apple? Join Host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat with Noel Goddard…

    Is post-quantum cryptography safe from quantum computing? Do we really need thousands of qubits to attack RSA? We examine some of the challenges to PQC strength and timeline that have recently emerged in scientific papers and consider what makes peer review such a crucial part of the process. Join Host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat about the actual state of PQC and how it will affect your…

    When Richard Feynman proposed the idea of a quantum simulator or computer in 1981, he was frustrated by the limitations of classical systems. He logically suggested that if we live in a quantum world, we need a quantum device to simulate all the interactions of particles that make up reality. An excellent example of such a transistor-choking calculation is the quantum many-body problem. Have…

    August in Vegas brings intense (but dry) heat and the annual Summer Hacker Camp of events. Arguably, the most fun and intriguing of the bunch is DEF CON (August 8-11, 2024), the world’s leading hacking conference, 32 years strong. The show features the third year of the Quantum Village. And for the second year in a row, host Konstantinos Karagiannis will be speaking. Join him for a chat with Mark…

    We’ve done plenty of episodes where there is a piece of software or cloud platform users can try, usually for the purposes of making coding or algorithmic development easier. Coding naturally seems to be the quickest way to get involved in quantum computing, but we’ve never discussed actually building quantum hardware at home! Find out how to start learning the engineering side of quantum…

    The migration to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is about to begin and is necessary to protect against the threats of fault-tolerant quantum computing. However, critical assets like those in military, banking, and government environments also require other layers of security and strategies such as zero trust and increased encryption bit sizes. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis as he discusses a…
