Podcast | Diamonds in the Rack: Room-Temp Quantum Computing – with Marius Grundmann of SAXON Q

Quantum computing has long been trapped inside massive dilution refrigerators, but SAXON Q is looking to change that. CEO Marius Grundmann joins host Konstantinos Karagiannis breaks down how his company uses artificial diamond chips and atomic-scale NV centers to build fully functional, room-temperature quantum computers that mount directly into standard 19-inch...
In the wake of a world-changing pandemic and amid current uncertainties in the global economy, organizations have made, and are making, some significant adjustments in their operations. For most, the procurement function is at or near the top of the list. These changes are critical for procurement leaders to navigate and manage as global supply challenges become more complex and organizations continue to grapple…
AI is disrupting almost every industry right now, so it’s not surprising that machine learning techniques are being used to improve quantum computers and accelerate the coming of fault-tolerant systems.
Quantum Information Science just might have commercial impact before quantum computing achieves error correction. All sorts of vertical industries will be able to take advantage of quantum clocks and sensors, enabling better navigation and even “seeing” through miles of solid Earth. Join Host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat about these amazing devices and what we can expect from cold atom computers with Bob…
As manufacturing organizations assess new ways to innovate and transform their operations, one area they continue to explore is the development of agile factories. In this episode, we talk with Protiviti Managing Directors Sharon Lindstrom, David Petrucci and Robert Giacobbe. Together, they explore the concept of agile factories and the importance of building flexibility and adaptability in the manufacturing sector.…
Cracking RSA in web traffic is primarily what people think of when they hear about the quantum threat to cryptography. But there are lots of protocols in peril, especially in a typical corporate environment. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat with Suvi Lampila from SSH to find out how the security giant is working on securing data flows you may not have considered. Guest: Suvi Lampila from SSH
We’ve covered several types of quantum computing hardware on this show, some available, some still forthcoming. Neutral atom is a newer addition to the ranks of systems accessible on the cloud. How does it work? What kinds of real-world business use cases is it excelling at already? Join Host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat with Alex Keesling from QuEra about this new approach to high qubit counts. Guest:…
Interconnect has been a quantum computing buzzword for quite some time and with good reason. Entangling qubits between separate quantum computers is the key to scaling and building fault-tolerant systems. IonQ recently doubled down on this approach by acquiring a company that specializes in the technology. Join Host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat with Aharon Brodutch about how trapped ions will soon be talking…
Remember the old days when war rooms were inundated with document boxes stacked high to the ceiling? Fast forward to today and legal departments are capitalizing on technology as they become stronger centers of excellence within their organizations. Join podcast host Managing Director Chad Volkert, in the first episode of our new legal podcast series, featuring Debbie Hoffman, founder and CEO of Symmetry Blockchain…
Quantum computing has been surrounded by hype from the beginning. While these machines may exceed our most ambitious imaginings in the future, investing in them today brings some challenges to venture capitalists. How do VCs vet companies in the field, and how does the so-called Quantum Winter affect all this? Join Host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat with Bill Liao about investing in quantum and other emerging…
One of the most significant decisions a CFO faces is selecting the right technology or tool to help them run the finance organization and deliver expected results and value for the business. But technology selection is only the first step. There also is implementation, a just as important stage that can make or break the success of the technology and its effectiveness in the eyes of stakeholders throughout the…
