Mattia Fiorentini, Cambridge Quantum Computing - The future is hybrid, quantum laptops are not near, and your blockchain is safe (most likely) (S2E4)

Mattia Fiorentini is the Head of Machine Learning and Quantum Algorithms at Cambridge Quantum Computing, a world leading independent quantum computing software company, with operations in US, Europe & Japan, and more than 60 scientists including 35+ PHD’s, in Quantum Computing (“QC”), Chemistry, Molecular Electronics, Physics, Maths, Computer Science, and Nanoscience. 

CQC builds tools for the commercialisation of quantum technologies whose long-term impact will be profound. CQC design solutions that benefit from quantum computing even in its earliest forms and allow the most effective access to these solutions for the widest variety of corporate and government users.

With Mattia, we discuss the current state of quantum computing, commercial approaches that are viable today, especially in Finance, what a hybrid approach leveraging both quantum and classical computing looks like, and why CQC's approach of a private research "think tank" combined with a startup culture focused on commercialization is the right approach to drive this technology forward. Oh yes, we are also discussing the impact of quantum computing on blockchain security.
