#15 (EN): Is Quantum Computing Still a Thing?

In this episode of Me, Myself & IT Leadership, Daniel and
Nova revisit quantum computing and ask a simple question: is that
still a thing?

Daniel starts with a memory from 2019, standing in front of a
real IBM quantum computer — the famous golden, chandelier-like
machine — and the question that has stayed with him ever since:
what does this actually mean for IT leaders in day-to-day
business?

Together, Daniel and Nova cut through the hype, explain what
quantum computers really are, where the technology currently
stands, why error correction matters, and why the most concrete
leadership decision today is not about buying quantum hardware —
it is about encryption.

Topics include:

- Why quantum computers are not just faster normal computers

- Qubits, superposition, entanglement, and interference explained
in plain language

- What quantum computing can realistically solve — and what it
cannot

- Why error correction is the key breakthrough to watch

- The quantum race across IBM, Google, Quantinuum, Europe,
Microsoft, and China

- Why “harvest now, decrypt later” is already a real security
risk

- What IT leaders should do now about cryptographic inventory and
post-quantum cryptography

- How to monitor quantum without falling into premature strategy
theatre

Key takeaway: Quantum computing is not dead. For most companies,
it is not yet an execution topic — but encryption, crypto
inventory, and post-quantum readiness belong on the radar now.
