Quantum-Inspired AI and Tensor Network Compression with Román Orús (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tensor networks were invented to study quantum entanglement in condensed matter physics — so how did they end up compressing billion-parameter language models and running inside a live LLM on an IBM quantum processor? Román Orús, co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Multiverse Computing, traces the full intellectual journey from matrix product states to production AI, and gives an unusually candid account of where quantum-inspired computation ends and genuine quantum computation begins. If
Quantum Workforce Intelligence from qubitsok.com with Piotr Lewandowski (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Who is actually doing quantum computing research, where are they, and what does the industry really need — not according to press releases, but according to the data? Piotr Lewandowski built qubitsok.com to answer exactly those questions, constructing what may be the most granular open-access dataset of quantum jobs, researchers, and publications in existence. This conversation explores what that data reveals about the real size, concentration, and trajectory of the quantum workforce — and why t
Quantum Risk, Readiness, and the Enterprise Boardroom with Richard Entrup (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most quantum computing conversations start in the lab. Richard Entrup's start in the boardroom. As Managing Director of Emerging Solutions at KPMG US, he's the person translating quantum risk and quantum opportunity into language that CFOs, CISOs, and board members can act on — and in this episode, he makes the case that most enterprises are dangerously behind on both fronts. If you're trying to understand what post-quantum cryptography migration actually looks like at scale, or how a Big Four f
Silicon Spin Qubits and the IBM–HRL Acquisition with Thaddeus D. Ladd (opens the original)
Read excerpt
IBM's pending acquisition of HRL Laboratories is the biggest structural move in quantum hardware in years — but the announcement names sensing, networking, cryogenics, control electronics, and packaging alongside silicon spin qubits. Thaddeus D. Ladd, Chief Scientist of HRL's Computational Physics Division, joins Sebastian to explain what HRL has actually built, why the 2026 QPU paper may matter more for its integrated control stack than its qubit fidelity numbers, and what it means for the futu
Quantum in the Big Four with Aaron Kemp (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What does it mean when a Big Four professional services firm becomes a named co-author on a peer-reviewed quantum machine learning paper? Aaron Kemp, KPMG's Senior Director of Quantum Research and Enterprise Innovation, joins Sebastian to unpack how enterprise advisory is being reshaped by two simultaneous pressures: the offensive potential of hybrid quantum-classical ML and the defensive urgency of post-quantum cryptography migration. It's a conversation about what "quantum readiness" actually
