ESW #315 - Matt Johansen, Kayla Lee, Vadim Lyubashevsky

Quantum computing is a rapidly emerging technology that harnesses the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems that today’s most powerful supercomputers cannot practically solve. IBM's Dr. Kayla Lee will explain how close we are to a computational quantum advantage: the point where a computational task of business or scientific relevance can be performed more efficiently, cost-effectively, or accurately using a quantum computer than with classical computations alone.  Segment Resources: What is quantum computing? https://www.ibm.com/topics/quantum-computing About IBM Quantum: https://www.ibm.com/quantum About the IBM Quantum Development Roadmap: https://www.ibm.com/quantum/roadmap Access and program a quantum computer: https://quantum-computing.ibm.com/   Quantum computers are scaling rapidly. Soon, they will be powerful enough to solve previously unsolvable problems. But they come with a global challenge: fully-realized quantum computers will be able to break some of the most widely-used security protocols in the world. Dr. Vadim Lyubashevsky will discuss how quantum-safe cryptography protects against this potential future.

We'll discuss his journey from vendors to massive enterprises to less massive enterprises and what he's learned about InfoSec along the way. Like us, Matt has some strong takes on many InfoSec topics, so this conversation could go down many paths. Regardless, we're excited about the journey and the destination with this interview.
