    Welcome to the Quantum Network – with Reza Nejabati and Ramana Kompella of Cisco
    Sep 3 2025
    Imagine a world where quantum computers seamlessly share entangled particles across data centers, solving problems beyond the reach of classical systems. This may be possible soon thanks to a groundbreaking quantum networking entanglement chip capable of generating 200 million entangled photon pairs per second at room temperature. Cisco is redefining networking again, doing everything from detecting eavesdroppers on classical networks to laying the foundation for a quantum internet … and potentially scaling quantum computing. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a wide-ranging chat with Reza Nejabati and Ramana Kompella from Cisco.

    One PQC Playbook – with Kevin Hilscher of DigiCert
    Aug 20 2025
    DigiCert is widely recognized for its expertise in PKI and as a TLS certificate authority. As you can imagine, they have a significant perspective on the quantum computing threat to encryption and the migration to post-quantum cryptography (PQC). We cover everything from the challenges of upgrading IoT devices to ML-DSA signature sizes, as well as the new DigiCert One platform the company offers to help manage the migration process. In the middle of this episode, you’ll even get a clear summary of what a successful rollout to PQC looks like. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a wide-ranging chat on actionable PQC steps you can take with Kevin Hilscher from DigiCert. There’s even a Quantum Safe Playground to experiment with!

  • Cracking Encryption by 2030? – with Dean Kassmann of IonQ

    Cracking Encryption by 2030? – with Dean Kassmann of IonQ
    Aug 6 2025
    IonQ is poised to redefine the quantum computing landscape, projecting a staggering 80,000 logical qubits by 2030—potentially unlocking the power to crack encryption. NIST has us on a timeline to upgrade to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) by 2035, so this 5-year gap may spell doom for cybersecurity. Of course, these machines will also revolutionize industries from finance to drug discovery to AI. How is IonQ boosting their roadmap by orders of magnitude? Learn about their cutting-edge acquisitions and bold vision for scalable, error-corrected systems in this wide-ranging chat between host Konstantinos Karagiannis and IonQ SVP Dean Kassmann.

  • Protocols Accelerating Quantum Advantage – with Daniel Volz of Kipu Quantum

    Protocols Accelerating Quantum Advantage – with Daniel Volz of Kipu Quantum
    Jul 9 2025
    How much performance can you squeeze out of quantum computing by improving the stack? A lot happens in code before classical bits touch qubits. One company’s hardware-specific algorithms, delivered via a cloud platform, supercharge real-world applications like protein folding and AI-enhanced machine learning. From outperforming classical tools like Gurobi on IBM’s 156-qubit processor to slashing circuit depths by up to 1,000x, Kipu Quantum is accelerating the timeline to advantage. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a wide-ranging chat with Daniel Volz from Kipu Quantum, and also find out how they’re scaling with IBM and IonQ’s recently announced bold qubit roadmaps.

  • ML-KEM Cocreator Unlocks Lattice-Based Cryptography — with Joppe Bos of NXP

    ML-KEM Cocreator Unlocks Lattice-Based Cryptography — with Joppe Bos of NXP
    Jun 25 2025
    When NIST released the first post-quantum cryptography standards in August 2024, it set off a domino effect that will hopefully result in protecting the world from the quantum computing threat. Now that we’re beginning to migrate and trust our data to lattice-based cryptography, it’s a good time to examine how ML-KEM works and get some hints about how to implement it well. And who better to ask than one of the coauthors of the PQC standard? Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a wide-ranging chat with Joppe Bos from NXP, where they discuss the past and future of ML-KEM. For more information on NXP, visit www.nxp.com/.
