Is quantum computing the next tech revolution—or just overhyped? In this episode, we explore the booming world of quantum startups and ask the big question: are we witnessing a historic breakthrough or inflating a speculative bubble?
We break down the real-world potential of quantum tech and why it's attracting billions from governments, tech giants, and VCs. From medical breakthroughs to financial modeling, discover the promises that have investors racing to get in early.
But not everyone’s buying the hype. We'll unpack growing skepticism in the industry, including recent pullbacks in private funding, questions about short-term utility, and whether current valuations are grounded in reality.
You'll also get the global picture:
– Why the US leads in funding and private investment
– The EU’s challenges in scaling startups
– China’s heavy public-sector push
We’ll dive into the different branches of quantum—computing, communication, sensing—and what the patent race reveals about who’s actually innovating.
And finally, we tackle the big picture: could quantum computing upend industries like blockchain and cybersecurity sooner than we think? Or is this all still decades away?
Tune in for a no-fluff look at the future of quantum startups—bold bet or bursting bubble?
