Why Quantum Computing Is Becoming Enterprise-Ready at Scale
<p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Quantum computing has moved past theory and into engineering, infrastructure, and enterprise strategy. In this episode, Equinix’s Glenn Dekhayser and Petrina Steele sit down with the leaders shaping quantum’s next chapter to examine how the technology is transitioning from lab experiments to scalable, commercial systems, and what that shift really requires.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><span class="ql-cursor"></span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">First, John Martinis, 2025 Nobel Prize winner in Physics and co-founder of Qolab, explains why quantum is an evolution of classical computing, not a replacement. Plus, why the real milestone ahead isn’t speed, but quantum utility: solving problems that create real-world value. Then, Théau Peronnin, CEO of Alice & Bob, and Mark Jackson, Senior Quantum Evangelist at Quantinuum, break down the hard realities of scaling quantum beyond the lab. From manufacturing and supply chains to cost, integration, and hybrid quantum–classical systems, they reveal what it will take to unlock the first wave of enterprise impact. This episode is a clear-eyed look at how quantum is actually being built, and how it’s poised to reshape industries from chemistry and materials science to security, energy, and beyond.</span></p><p><br></p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent;">Key points:</strong></p><p><br></p><ul><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Why quantum computing is now an engineering and infrastructure challenge</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">How qubits enable exponential computational power — and why algorithms still matter</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">The shift from “quantum supremacy” to practical quantum utility</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Why most enterprises will access quantum through the cloud, not on-prem systems</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">How quantum and classical computing will work together in hybrid workflows</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">What it really means for organizations to become quantum ready today</span></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent;">Guests & Resources:</strong></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">John Martinis</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">CTO of Qolab / </span><a href="https://qolab.ai" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">https://qolab.ai</a></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Théau Peronnin/ </span><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/theau-peronnin" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">https://www.linkedin.com/in/theau-peronnin</a></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">CEO, Alice & Bob / </span><a href="https://alice-bob.com" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">https://alice-bob.com</a></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Mark Jackson / </span><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/drmarkgjackson" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">https://www.linkedin.com/in/drmarkgjackson</a></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Senior Quantum Evangelist, Quantinuum / </span><a href="https://www.quantinuum.com" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">https://www.quantinuum.com</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent;">Meet the Hosts:</strong></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Glenn Dekhayser / </span><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/gdekhayser" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">https://www.linkedin.com/in/gdekhayser</a></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Global Principal Technologist at Equinix </span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Petrina Steele / </span><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/petrinasteele" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">https://www.linkedin.com/in/petrinasteele</a></p><p>Global Lead, Emerging Technologies & Ecosystems <span style="background-color: transparent;">at Equinix</span></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Watch the full video series on </strong><a href="https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL55oxNORDfUHWY9O38qbaYIb6mUZgN9iu&si=_An8bCC5upyj7uaO" target="_blank"><strong>YouTube</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Subscribe to the channel and follow Interconnected for more episodes on AI, infrastructure, and our connected future.</span></p>
