Qiskit and IBM's New Quantum Innovations | The Gestalt IT Rundown: September 25, 2024

Author: Tech Field Day September 25, 2024 Duration: 36:41

We're happy to have Dr. Bob Sutor joining us this week on the Rundown, since he covers quantum and advanced computing for The Futurum Group. IBM made two important announcements in the quantum space this week. The first announcement was Qiskit, a quantum SDK that runs on Python for quantum computers. This promises to bring quantum compute to a more mainstream audience and converting the underlying code to Rust. This solution is much faster than competing solutions from Google, Amazon, and Quantinuuum. IBM is also putting together an app store for quantum applications and runtime functions, including from third-party developers. This matches the moves that we have seen in areas like cloud and AI, and serves to push IBM as the leader in quantum computing.

Every Friday, Tom Hollingsworth, Alastair Cooke, and Stephen Foskett gather to sort through the constant stream of announcements, mergers, and debates that define the information technology landscape. Their Tech Field Day News Rundown isn't just a headline recap; it's a conversational dissection where industry veterans apply decades of hands-on experience to separate genuine innovation from mere hype. You'll hear them debate the practical implications of a new chip architecture, unpack the real cost of a cloud service change, or trace how a security flaw might ripple through enterprise networks. The discussion is grounded, often witty, and always aimed at the professionals who build and maintain the systems we all rely on. This weekly podcast from Tech Field Day provides the essential context behind the news, turning a simple rundown into a valuable tool for understanding where technology is truly headed. It’s like sitting in on a Friday afternoon debrief with colleagues who’ve seen it all, making the complex world of IT feel a bit more manageable and a lot more interesting.
