Winston Dodson on LinkedIn: Colorado scores win in race to become global hub for quantum technology… (2024)

One of the things we don't get to shout about very often are the reports we create with public sector organisations, on the impact of their work advancing new technologies. A lot don't get made public, but here's a great example for The National Physical Laboratory’s Quantum Technologies Programme: https://lnkd.in/gwxta6UQ

In an inaugural blog post for the Stanford Center for Responsible Quantum Technology, Mauritz Kop, founder and executive director of Stanford RQT, interviews Alexandra Waldherr, now in her first year as RQT fellow. She breaks down what lead her on her journey to Stanford RQT and to the field of responsible quantum technology, and details the latest research findings of her RQT Project, named Quantum Hardware, Simulation and Education. https://lnkd.in/g2qgCYP6

It is exciting to see that 2025 will be the International Year of Quantum. The second quantum revolution (the first giving us silicon based computers) will change all aspects of our lives. Great to see it given the prominence it deserves. https://lnkd.in/g9kMiP6t

A very interesting 1-minute explanation of blind quantum computing by Harold Ollivier, giving a glance of what security issues arise when we delegate quantum computations to a quantum server & solutions for that. If the data and the algorithm are sent plain, obvious security issues exist. Quantum cryptography is here for that! Among the existing methods, here is mentioned blindness to ensure information-theoretical security.Blindness is indeed very important, it is used in techniques to verify that the computation was performed well, that the server wasn't malicious (verification is very important in delegated computation, whether it's classical or quantum!). By delegating "test computations" that you can efficiently verify, and interleaving those with your actual computations, you can get a statistical guarantee either that there was a deviation on the server's side, or that the computation went well.Another key takeaway mentioned by Harold is that the security of the protocols here is information-theoretical : the strongest form of security, independent of the adversary's computational abilities. It is proven mathematically that the protocols are as secure as possible in an ideal world. This sounds like utopia but we're getting to such powerful protocols mainly thanks to entanglement, a phenomenon exclusive to quantum systems.

INTRODUCING SOUTH CAROLINA QUANTUMJames Hodges, SC Quantum Board of DirectorsPresident, McGuireWoods ConsultingWhat is your professional background?I served as Governor of South Carolina from 1999 to 2003. I have a legal and business background, serving as a partner in the McGuireWoods law firm and the President of our consulting operation, McGuireWoods Consulting. I have extensive experience dealing with issues involving local, state, and federal regulation and legislation.What is your motivation behind joining SC Quantum as a board member?I have always had an interest in the intersection of education, business, and technology. SC Quantum provides an interesting opportunity to engage in all three issues to benefit my home state of South Carolina.What is your vision of the future for SC Quantum, South Carolina (and the region)?Through SC Quantum, South Carolina can emerge as a national leader in quantum computing, which will benefit both our higher education system and economic development.
