Quantum computing may not be as visible as AI – yet. But there’s enormous progress in building next-generation supercomputers, as this DLD24 expert panel discussion makes clear.
Moderated by investor Howard Morgan (First Round Capital), this session brings together security expert Gabi Dreo Rodosek (Universität der Bundeswehr in Munich) with quantum computing entrepreneurs Nick Farina (EeroQ) and Stefano Pirandola, (nodeQ).
“Quantum computers are going to unlock major breakthroughs in areas like drug discovery, material science and finance”, Nick Farina predicts. “The applications in many ways are already here, so companies and academic labs already know what to do with quantum computers. They just need a quantum computer that has a large enough scale.”
Scaling is a big challenge, the discussion makes clear, and there are different approaches to solving it.
Much of the progress in developing quantum computers is due to developing better error correction techniques and creating efficient algorithms. At the same time, these new supercomputers pose significant security risks because they can potentially break the currently used encryption method.
