Before you listen! Helpful Acronyms to deal with the jargon: - PQC = Post Quantum Cryptography, area within quantum computing & cryptography where researchers are developing quantum-safe protocols resilient against quantum cryptography attacks. - LDPC Codes = Low Density Parity Check, a type of error correction method - Block Encoding = a technique used in quantum computing (see youtube link below!)In this episode: Quantum Simulation program, Cryptography, & passionate community!A conversation with the brilliant Krystal Maughan, PhD researcher at the University of Vermont doing innovative work on her research area of Post-Quantum Cryptography while we were attending the 3-day QSim RQS Summer School 2025! We talk on a range of topics observed in the quantum industry & research field and she provides a mathematician's perspective at Madison Square Park on a beautiful summer day right before her flight. Enjoy this refreshing & insightful discussion!

Happy *belated World Quantum Day (Week/Month/Year). This episode is about the journey that one can take in navigating and getting started in the quantum technology space. This was recorded live at the NYU Abhu Dhabi International Hackathon for Social Good.This episode I talk to Google QuantumAI's esteemed research scientist who was part of the Willow team - Amir Karamlou. We'll hear about Amir's journey and how hackathons can change the future of the quantum space. Links: Hackathon for Social Good, NYU Abhu Dhabi - https://hackathon.nyuad.nyu.edu

The return of the QCN podcast!! This episode was meant to release on February 14th! Ethan's mic (quite literally) has been passed on to me, Shway, and I'll be the new host. I hope I do nearly as great of a job communicating the journey of learning quantum computing as he did...Thank you my friend.(Also congratulations to Ethan & his fiancée!!!!!) ---I procrastinated on posting this. Expect more episodes on quantum computing technologies, with hopefully less procrastination. And as always, stay curious!

We've heard on the show before about software needed to secure devices in a post-quantum world, but what about the hardware? Mamta Gupta from Lattice Semiconductor is here to tell us all about that! A note: at one point, Mamta talks about massive parallelism being the reason for quantum computing's speedup. As far as I can tell, it's not. I didn't think during the podcast was the best time to bring it up, but if you want to learn more, I recommend looking at the episode I did with Scott Aaronson and also the episode with Jon Skerrett CNSA 2.0: https://media.defense.gov/2022/Sep/07/2003071834/-1/-1/0/CSA_CNSA_2.0_ALGORITHMS_.PDF Isara timeline: https://www.isara.com/blog-posts/quantum-computing-urgency-and-timeline.html Cryptographic Agility with Mike Brown – Episode 37: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/quantumcomputingnow/episodes/Cryptographic-Agility-with-Mike-Brown--Episode-37-e133ela https://www.latticesemi.com/ Quantum Open Source Foundation: https://qosf.org/ QOSF showcase: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/quantumcomputingnow/episodes/QOSF-Showcase--Episode-28-Hybrid-eqir0q Interview with Michal Stechly (founder of QOSF): https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/quantumcomputingnow/episodes/Micha-Stchy-and-QOSF--Episode-21-Hybrid-ej5e2u Lattice LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/lattice-semiconductor Lattice twitter: http://www.twitter.com/latticesemi Lattice Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/latticesemi https://www.minds.com/1ethanhansen [email protected] QRL: Q0106000c95fe7c29fa6fc841ab9820888d807f41d4a99fc4ad9ec5510a5334c72ef8d0f8c44698 Monero: 47e9C55PhuWDksWL9BRoJZ2N5c6FwP9EFUcbWmXZS8AWfazgxZVeaw7hZZmXXhf3VQgodWKwVq629YC32tEd1STkStwfh5Y Ethereum: 0x9392079Eb419Fa868a8929ED595bd3A85397085B
