The Post-Quantum World Protiviti
-
- Technology
Quantum computing capabilities are exploding, causing disruption and opportunities, but many technology and business leaders don’t understand the impact quantum will have on their business. Protiviti is helping organizations get post-quantum ready. In our bi-weekly podcast series, The Post-Quantum World, Protiviti Associate Director and host Konstantinos Karagiannis is joined by quantum computing experts to discuss hot topics in quantum computing, including the business impact, benefits and threats of this exciting new capability.

The Quantum Many-Body Problem — with Benedikt Fauseweh of TU Dortmund University
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 quantum computers finally cracked it and reached the level of Feynman’s original idea? Can working on such approaches lead to better quantum computers and help solve real business use cases soon? Join Host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat with Benedikt Fauseweh from TU Dortmund University and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) as they explore these topics and whether this work has anything to do with The Three-Body Problem novel and Netflix show.

Quantum AI Compression: Smaller LLMs without Losing Performance — with Sam Mugel of Multiverse
Large language models are … large. Forget Bitcoin and recharging electric vehicles; the grid could be toppled by powering AI in a few years. It would be optimal if AI could run on more underpowered edge devices. What if there was a quantum-inspired way to make LLMs smaller without sacrificing overall performance in combined metrics? We explore a way to do that and other advanced ideas, like selectively removing information from models, in this episode. Join Host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat about how businesses can solve many of the woes associated with bringing AI in-house with Sam Mugel from Multiverse.

High-Speed Quantum Networking in NYC — with Noel Goddard of Qunnect
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 from Qunnect as they explore all this and potential business use cases.

Is Post-Quantum Cryptography at Risk?
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 organization.

How Quantum Computing Changed Our Understanding of Science — with Lincoln Carr of Colorado School of Mines
While we await practical business advantage with quantum computing, another important question arises: Has quantum information science already furthered our understanding of science? What’s the difference between a simulator and an emulator, and how does a physical quantum computer fit in? Join Host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat with Lincoln Carr from Colorado School of Mines as they explore these topics, along with everything from tensor networks, to thermodynamics, to complexity, with an eye to how the hardware timeline will make practical power a reality.
