    Dorit Dor, co-founder of Qbeat Ventures

    Yuval Boger interviews Dorit Dor, co-founder of Qbeat Ventures and former senior executive at Check Point. They discuss lessons quantum startups can draw from the evolution of cybersecurity, including the importance of go-to-market strategy, focus, and adherence to standards. Dorit outlines her fund’s cross-stack investment strategy, compares different quantum modalities, comments on public market dynamics, and highlights the growing Israeli quantum ecosystem and its potential for future impact.

    Matt Kinsella, CEO of Infleqtion

    Yuval Boger interviews Matt Kinsella, CEO of Infleqtion. They discuss Infleqtion’s neutral-atom strategy, including its combination of quantum computing, sensing, and timing products, and why Matt believes that diversified approach strengthens both the business and the technology stack. Matt also shares his timeline for commercially useful quantum computing, his reaction to Google entering neutral atoms, and his perspective on capital, talent, and scaling the company as a newly public business.

  3. Skeptic mathematician Gil Kalai from Reichman University and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem

    Skeptic mathematician Gil Kalai from Reichman University and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem

    Yuval Boger interviews mathematician Gil Kalai about his long-standing skepticism regarding scalable quantum computing. Kalai explains two main arguments behind his theory: correlated noise that may defeat quantum error correction and complexity-based limits on NISQ devices achieving quantum supremacy. They discuss experimental claims such as Google’s 2019 result, potential tests of Kalai’s conjectures, and the implications for the future of quantum research. The conversation also explores how Kalai hopes the community will evaluate bold claims and what scientific insights could emerge regardless of the outcome.

  4. Tom Darras, CEO and co-founder of Welinq

    30 MARS

    Tom Darras, CEO and co-founder of Welinq

    Yuval Boger interviews Tom Darras, CEO and co-founder of Welinq. They discuss how quantum networking uses shared entanglement to interconnect quantum processors, enabling modular scale-out clusters and quantum-safe connectivity between data centers. Tom explains the technical building blocks—qubit-photon interfaces, optical networks, entangled photon sources, and especially quantum memories—as well as the performance metrics that matter most, like entanglement generation rate, fidelity, and memory lifetime. They also cover Welinq’s Arachne compiler for distributing circuits across multiple QPUs, why networking is becoming a consensus scaling strategy across modalities, and how “quantum-augmented data centers” are starting to become real initiatives.

    Bob Sorensen, Chief Quantum Analyst, Hyperion Research

    Yuval Boger interviews Bob Sorensen of Hyperion Research about the growing convergence of quantum computing and high-performance computing. They outline a problem-first adoption playbook for HPC centers: identify bottlenecks, benchmark classical options and costs, then evaluate quantum as an accelerator with clear ROI and procurement targets. Sorensen weighs cloud versus on‑prem tradeoffs, argues quantum hardware needs short lifecycles with upgrade paths, and explains why HPC managers mainly worry about seamless integration. They close with practical definitions of quantum advantage (speed, capability, and power), real-world case studies, and why error-correction-driven architecture is increasingly shaping modality decisions.

  6. Christian Weedbrook, founder and CEO of Xanadu

    16 MARS

    Christian Weedbrook, founder and CEO of Xanadu

    Yuval Boger interviews Christian Weedbrook, founder and CEO of Xanadu. They discuss Xanadu’s photonic approach to gate-based quantum computing, the advantages of room-temperature operation, and the company’s plan to scale through optical networking. Christian also describes PennyLane, photonic error correction, customer engagements, and Xanadu’s target of building a 500-logical-qubit system by 2029–2030. The conversation also touches on partnerships, manufacturing, likely early applications in chemistry and materials, and much more.

  7. Prof. Scott Aaronson, UT Austin

    2 MARS

    Prof. Scott Aaronson, UT Austin

    Yuval Boger interviews computer science professor known for his work on quantum computing theory. They explore the current state of quantum hardware, the narrowing case for quantum skepticism, and the realistic path toward fault-tolerant, useful quantum machines. The conversation also covers quantum algorithms, cryptography risks, ethics, hype in commercialization, and advice for the next generation of quantum researchers.

  8. Joab Rosenberg, partner at Deep33

    16 FÉVR.

    Joab Rosenberg, partner at Deep33

    Joab Rosenberg, partner at Deep33, a new $100–150M venture fund focused on the future of compute, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. They discuss the current state of quantum computing, why Joab expects commercial applications within a few years, and where venture capital can realistically capture value. The conversation covers hardware-first investing, quantum algorithms and applications, capital intensity, geopolitics, and the growing role of deep tech in venture investing.
