In this week’s episode Steve Suarez from Horizon X Quantum and one on the speakers at the Futurists Summit discusses the reality of the famed Q-Day or Quantum Day - a date sometime in the near future when Quantum computers can break our existing RSA encryption technologies exposing banks, government and military to significant cyber security risk. How real is it and how can we prepare our institutions for this change? Suarez and Brett get into it

In this week’s episode of The Futurists, David Orban joins Brett King in the hosting chair and we get to talk Quantum with Roberto Siagri, a theoretical physcist working on putting quantum processors in orbit. We talk about the advances in photonic quantum multi-dimensional cubits (yes you heard that right), the likelihood of Q-Day (Quantum Day), and of course, what secrets of the universe quantum just might unlock. We discuss Roberto’s new startup Rotonium, working on exactly these questions. What happens when a physicist becomes a futurist engineer? Let’s find out.

Technology strategist Shelly Palmer returns to The Futurists to demystify abstruse concepts of quantum computing in practical terms with his characteristically sharp insights about artificial intelligence. Shelly explains: why code and content will be free; why quantum encryption won’t create jobs for humans; what happens when Moore’s law compounds with Metcalfe’s and Cooper’s Laws; why we can bank on the proliferation of good ideas; and how to separate hype from reality in the realm of Big Tech research.
