About this listen

Quantum is way too interesting for anything written about it to be boring. The Quantum Dragon aggregates news, books, papers, podcasts, etc.... anything that is as entertaining as it is informative.

  • #80: Certified Unpredictability
    Feb 17 2026

    Dr. Walborn and I spoke about the use cases of quantum random number generators (QRNG), self-testing and certification, the underlying mechanism for guaranteeing randomness, API versus on-premises options, and Sequre Quantum’s plans for integrating its QRNG into its own post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and/or quantum key distribution (QKD) solutions. Most importantly, I picked up a new phrase that I am going to use and abuse: “quantum imposter.”

  • #79: A Quantum Computer as a Sewing Machine
    Feb 3 2026

    Quantum Source popped up on my radar, and I noticed the company is doing things a little differently. It’s using two modalities instead of one. It’s using 3D measurement-based quantum computing, which I’ve only been aware of in 2D. And it addresses one of my long-term concerns about large-scale quantum computers: physical footprint. I had questions about all this and more, and now you’ve got the answers.

  • #78: "Open a secure channel."
    Jan 6 2026

    Quantum Corridor and Toshiba announced the demonstration of the first cross-state Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) over a live commercial metro fiber network, and I had questions about it. What’s the significance of crossing a state line? What was the real-world use case? What do they mean by “no quantum specialists required”? Why are they targeting QKD in the United States? So, we agreed to hop on a podcast together and get some answers.
