Cracking Encryption by 2030? – with Dean Kassmann of IonQ | Ep. 109

IonQ is poised to redefine the quantum computing landscape, projecting a staggering 80,000 logical qubits by 2030—potentially unlocking the power to crack encryption. NIST has us on a timeline to upgrade to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) by 2035, so this 5-year gap may spell doom for cybersecurity. Of course, these machines will also revolutionize industries from finance to drug discovery to AI. How is IonQ boosting their roadmap by orders of magnitude? Learn about their cutting-edge acquisitions and bold vision for scalable, error-corrected systems in this wide-ranging chat between host Konstantinos Karagiannis and IonQ SVP Dean Kassmann.
