    Zach Yerushalmi, CEO, Elevate Quantum

    Yuval Boger interviews Zach Yerushalmi, CEO of Elevate Quantum and leader of the U.S. Quantum Tech Hub. They discuss how to accelerate quantum commercialization through industry-led ecosystems, targeted public–private partnerships, and clear prioritization across research, industry, and market failures. Zach draws parallels to semiconductors and biotech, emphasizing demand signals, advanced market commitments, and cycle time as key success metrics. The conversation highlights the high geopolitical stakes of quantum and the urgency for the U.S. to execute its industrial strategy correctly.

    Jonathan Reiner, Director of Product Solutions, Quantum Machines

    Jonathan Reiner is interviewed by Yuval Boger and describes his path from condensed-matter physics to leading the Product Solutions team at Quantum Machines. They discuss the rising complexity of quantum control, customer trends toward fidelity, low-latency compute, and automated calibration, as well as QM’s products such as QUA, Qualibrate, and OPX-NIC for error-correction workflows. Jonathan shares insights on scaling control electronics, the skills needed to operate quantum computers, and his preference for spin qubits. The conversation concludes with a discussion of IP protection practices.

    Kike Miralles, Investment Director, Intel Capital

    Kike Miralles, investment director at Intel Capital, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. They talk about corporate venture investing in quantum technologies. Kike explains Intel Capital’s focus on quantum hardware and middleware, compares leading modalities, and outlines emerging themes like QPU scale-out networking, hybrid classical–quantum error correction, and the growing role of logical qubits as a core metric. He also discusses check sizes and stages, government-heavy revenue, PR and hype in quantum, expected consolidation among hardware players, and what differentiates strong quantum investors and startups in today’s market.

  5. Joe Ghalbouni, President of Ghalbouni Consulting

    08/12/2025

    Joe Ghalbouni, President of Ghalbouni Consulting

    Dr. Joe Ghalbouni, a quantum communication PhD who moved from academia into Point72’s innovation team and now runs Ghalbouni Consulting, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. They discuss how he helped a major hedge fund move from quantum curiosity to concrete education, use case discovery, and POCs, and why he believes the real bottleneck today is not hardware but algorithms and sector-aware problem mapping. The conversation explores where quantum is most promising in financial services, from optimization to quantum machine learning, and how quantum inspired methods on classical hardware are already delivering value. They also cover PQC and QKD roadmaps, what it really takes to move a quantum solution into production, and why Joe is surprisingly optimistic about seeing useful quantum advantage in specific use cases within the next few years.

    Elevating Quantum Women's Voices

    Biliana Rajevic, Head of External Communications at Quantum Brilliance and co-founder of Quantum Women, Rachel Rayner, a science communicator and comedian, and Alison Goldingay, a quantum researcher at UNSW. We discuss the "Elevating Quantum Women's Voices" program, an initiative designed to empower women in the quantum industry to communicate effectively and build their visibility. They share insights from the program's curriculum, such as the power of storytelling, adapting to different audiences, and the specific challenges of presenting on Zoom. Rachel describes her "Quantum Comedy" shows that blend humor with physics, while Alison and Biliana demonstrate the program's "60-second challenge" by explaining single-photon detection and diamond-based quantum computing in plain English. We also explore the broader importance of diversity in the quantum ecosystem, and much more.

  7. Laurence Coldicott, Senior Content Director at Quantum.Tech

    10/11/2025

    Laurence Coldicott, Senior Content Director at Quantum.Tech

    Laurence Coldicott, curator of global quantum technology conferences, is interviewed Yuval Boger. They discuss how enterprise engagement has expanded beyond early adopters in finance to logistics, pharma, and defense—and how agendas now balance computing with “quantum defense” topics like PQC and QKD. Laurence contrasts U.S. scale and federal momentum with Europe’s fragmented landscape, notes attendance growth from hundreds to over a thousand, and describes a successful new event in Doha. He emphasizes keeping conferences pragmatic and hype-free, prioritizing practitioner talks and real case studies, and offers advice to speakers: be candid about maturity, challenges, and near-term value. They touch on rising government participation, the growing intersection with AI and cyber, and much more.

  8. Bill Wisotsky, Principal Quantum Systems Architect at SAS

    27/10/2025

    Bill Wisotsky, Principal Quantum Systems Architect at SAS

    Bill joins Yuval Boger to discuss SAS’s vendor-agnostic, hybrid approach to quantum and analytics. Highlights include D-Wave warm-starts that let SAS prove optimal kidney-exchange solutions in seconds, as well as QML pilots for fraud and bankruptcy modeling and disaster response. He shares a pragmatic definition of “quantum advantage”, treating QPUs as just another PU alongside CPUs/GPUs, and why rapid progress toward error correction—and ideas like Penrose’s—keep him learning.
