Quantum computing and it's applications in industry with Florian Neukart - Terra Quantum

Last Week on Earth with GARI

Today I’m chatting with Florian Neukart from Terra Quantum about all things quantum, what is quantum physics and technology, how can it be applied and what will it look like in the automotive, medical, pharmacy, finance, and energy sectors, and why is combining the first and second quantum revolutions exciting?

What is quantum computing? Where did it start?
Difference between referring to quantum physics, science, and computing?

What is the coolest thing about quantum technology to you?

How much of quantum physics is already understood?

Quantum sensors are way more powerful than we have today. Let’s say with vehicles, self-automated vehicles, sensors are very receptive to environmental influences, it cannot see through rain, snow, or fog. We need new sensors. Quantum radar systems can see through all this.

Cryptography is the third pillar of quantum. Quantum algorithms have the potential to crack current encryption.

What does Terra Quantum do?

High-performance computing will still develop, it isn’t over just because quantum computing is here. Combining these two in terms of software is important.
(from https://terraquantum.swiss/)Terra Quantum is a deep tech pioneer, developing revolutionary quantum applications to shape the technology of the future. Our international team of experts brings together the best minds from science, academia and industry to address the most fundamental questions of quantum physics and their manifestations in the world around us. We are building quantum technology for a better future, breaking down the barriers between science and industry, and laying the foundations of a real quantum tech ecosystem and value chain.

Applications of quantum computing outside of the realms of technology - what can it improve in other sectors and industries?

Material science - automotive industry, all production industries.

Pharmacy - simulating drugs, simulate the molecule exactly - how a molecule acts on a protein - if you can do that, you can find personalized treatment for every disease you can think of. Quantum computers can simulate all reactions - simulates what a particle does to any part of the body.

Finance - trading, optimization of portfolios - here we’re at the border of what classical machines/computers can do. You can save 240 million eur by running a quantum algorithm.

Society - Environment and environmental problems - from energy (fusion). Quantum simulation is important.

Carbon dioxide or monoxide extraction - material simulation, you can find materials that carbon monoxide can attach to well and make very powerful extractors. For fleets of vehicles or cities, that want to improve the traffic simulation, you can optimize traffic light switching and routing so that emission output is reduced, and delivery of goods and people is prioritized and optimized.
