Entangled Show

Pete Codella & Sumit Parashar

The Entangled Show discusses quantonomy, the study and economic impact of quantum systems, emphasizing the transition from classical computing to quantum technology. The video and audio podcast series serves as a guide for understanding this revolution, making quantum concepts accessible to business leaders, policymakers, and the curious. The show focuses on three key quantum pillars: superposition (multiple states at once), probability (embracing uncertainty beyond binary logic), and entanglement (deep interconnectedness across distances). Hosted by Sumit Parashar (technical expert) and Pete Codella (cultural interpreter), the show uses a guided discovery approach to explain how quantum advancements are already shaping fields like cybersecurity, medical sensing, and global commerce. The quantum era, it asserts, is not a future possibility but an unfolding reality, with real-world applications emerging today.

    008: Facing the Quantum Cliff – Is Your Data Safe from Q-Day?

    What happens when quantum technology grows strong enough to break modern digital encryption overnight? Welcome to the Quantum Cliff. In Episode 8 of the Entangled Show, co-hosts Pete Codella and Sumit Parashar tackle the urgent reality of Q-Day (Quantum Day, or Y2Q). Drawing parallels between the historic Y2K remediation efforts and today's quantum cybersecurity challenges, they break down why the threat to digital security isn't years away; it’s happening right now. Whether you are in business leadership, enterprise IT, or simply curious about protecting personal data in the quantum era, this episode provides a clear, non-technical look at how Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) and proactive data defense can keep us safe on the right side of the cliff.
