Joined with Professor Konrad Banaszek, physicist and director of the Centre of Quantum Optical Technologies at the University of Warsaw, this podcast serves as an introduction to the extremely complex topic of quantum computing. In this engaging discussion, Professor Banaszek explains how quantum computers are not like today’s conventional computers and do math is a vastly different way, the probability of quantum computers being released in the near future, and who will hold the power of these machines. Furthermore, since quantum computers, once released, will have the capability of decrypting most standard encryptions methods used today, Professor Banaszek gives some tips as to how institutions and individuals can secure their data for the future. The podcast is wrapped up with more positive notes of the use of quantum computers to improve the fields of medicine, waste reduction, and climate change.
