TQI QuickBits -- Securing the Quantum Era While Breaking Through Quantum Errors... And More News in Quantum
The Quantum Insider
Making Quantum Technology accessible through media, news, insights and data
One of the questions I like to ask people during interviews is: How the -- choose your favorite expletive here -- did you end up into quantum?
The answers vary, but the idea of belief in the technology -- quantum's mindbogglingly amazing power to disrupt for good or ill -- and a commitment to the mission of managing this powerful technology appear as general themes.
Michael Redding's story, I think, is emblematic of what you'll find in quantum. Michael, who was retired at the time, learned about Quantropi's technology designed to help organizations confront the challenges of post-quantum security. He took a flight to Canada to the company's headquarters... in the winter... during a pandemic... to meet with that team. And came out of retirement to take the CTO helm at that company.
That's commitment. And that's what makes being part of a community that is wired with passion and commitment so special.
OK. On to this week's QuickBits!
Quantum Quotes
Michael Redding, CTO of Quantropi, said the time to prepare for quantum was yesterday. But it's still not too late. He advises people to -- get aware, become agile -- and take action.
“It has to start with education. That’s the first step: get aware. And you don’t have to become a cryptographer. You don’t have to become a quantum mathematician. But just understand that this is really happening.” -- Michael Redding, Quantropi CTO.
The CHIPS-Plus Act is aimed mainly at the U.S.'s shaky semiconductor supply chain. But it will also boost efforts to build a chip-based quantum computer, according to its team of executives.
“We thank Senator Schumer for his tireless work as a lead negotiator of the CHIPS-Plus Act. This innovative legislation will give SEEQC new opportunities to further expand our Westchester-based foundry facility in New Yoro build the world’s first chip-based quantum computer.” -- John Levy, SEEQC CEO
