ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Quantum computing explained for business leaders, investors and founders — without the equations.
Blond & Quantum is a conversation series with the people building, funding and deploying quantum technology. In each episode, host Eva Galant sits down with founders, scientists, investors and technologists to unpack how quantum computing, quantum sensing, quantum networking and post-quantum security are reaching real industries — finance, pharma, logistics, energy, defense and beyond.
Guests have included Nobel laureate Prof. Alain Aspect (Pasqal), Reza Nejabati (Cisco), Dr. Yaakov Weinstein (MITRE), Bill Vass (Booz Allen Hamilton) and Dr. Bert de Jong (Berkeley Lab).
Expect real use cases, startup stories, quantum business and investment insight, and an honest line between hype and reality. No PhD required. Not even if you're blonde. 😉
And if you hear a black cat in the background… he's very much alive. 🐈⬛
Quantum without the equations. Real business. Real founders. Real cat.
