In this 58th episode of the Decode Quantum podcast series, always coproduced and cobroadcasted with Frenchweb, we welcome Simone Severini, who runs all quantum product and services activities at AWS/Amazon. It is the first in English and probably not the last one!
Simone Severini is the Director in charge of Quantum Technologies at Amazon Web Services (AWS) since 2018. He also holds an academic appointment as a Professor of Physics of Information at University College London (UCL), where he has been since 2009. He contributed to initiate university-industry collaborations with enterprises like Google, Lockheed Martin, and Siemens. He helped co-founding startups like Phasecraft and Cambridge Quantum Computing (now Quantinuum). Simone got a PhD from the University of Bristol with Richard Jozsa in 2004 and a degree in Philosophy from the University of Florence. Simone is based in Seattle.

Dans ce 45e épisode de Quantum, le podcast francophone de l’actualité quantique, Fanny Bouton et moi-même commentons ce que nous pouvons de ce qui se passe dans l’écosystème quantique. Et, champagne, c’est le 100e podcast quantique que nous enregistrons en quatre ans. En effet, il faut ajouter les 55 épisodes des entretiens Decode Quantum qui sont aussi en boîte. Et cela ne comprend pas tous les podcasts où nous étions invités deci delà.
Comme d’habitude, nous passons en revue l’actualité événementielle, scientifique, entrepreneuriale et des cas d’usage du domaine.
Et en voici le verbatim et les liens clés.

In the quantum computing realm, there’s often some confusion with simple technical lingua.
For example, in many general audience publications, you can read that ‘quantum cryptography’ is one application of future quantum computers. As a matter of fact, in a very distant future, quantum computers may break some RSA-based cryptography keys, but not create safer cryptographic systems. ‘Quantum cryptography’ is about creating shared encryption keys with quantum links that do not use quantum computers, and in most cases today, not even quantum entanglement, using the BB84 QKD protocol or one of its many variations. Quantum Key Distribution is indeed in the field of quantum cryptography. One right wording for the role of quantum computers here would be to associate them with ‘cryptanalysis’, the set of techniques used to break cryptographic security.
