SOBRE ESTE EPISÓDIO
Quantum computing is often described as “next-generation” technology — but according to Equal1 CEO Jason Lynch, it’s much closer, more practical, and more relevant to government than most people realise.
In this episode of Transform Gov, Jason explains quantum computing in plain English, why it follows AI rather than replaces it, and how it could transform public services — from climate modelling and flooding prediction to healthcare, logistics and national infrastructure planning.
We also explore why waiting until quantum “arrives” may already be too late for CIOs, and what public-sector leaders should be doing now to prepare.

- 03:10 – Why AI is hitting limits: energy, cost and sustainability
- 04:30 – Healthcare, drugs and why we still don’t know how paracetamol works
- 06:20 – Optimisation problems governments can’t solve today
