Show Notes

Peggy interviews Paul Lucier, vice president of business development, ISARA, who says there are two sides: the potential/positive disruption and the dark side of quantum computing, as it is able to break encryption. He explains there is a great concern about the amount of investment being made by the Chinese and quantum is a race that we can't afford to lose. He says there are a couple of approaches to solve some of the challenges including: post quantum cryptography and quantum key distribution. He talks about the raging debate about what size quantum computing is needed.
