In September I had the pleasure to present in Berlin at the Quantum Summit a guide on how to build a Quantum Computing team in the financial industry.

Understanding Quantum Uncertainty – The weirdness of the world (without Math)
Ok, let’s try to demystify (and simplify) one of the key pillars of quantum computing. The Uncertainty principle (and we will talk about entanglement later). (Proper physicist out there: forgive the blatant simplifications!) Imagine you have a collection of hand gloves, and they have 2 specific properties that are binary and completely unrelated to each other. The gloves can be… Read more →
The Definitive list of Books to get into Quantum Computing
Do you want to get into Quantum Computing? This is the correct, perfect list of books you have to read, in order. Your mind will explode anyways, but at least it will be one neuron at a time. (This list can be complemented by online materials!). The reason to read them in this order is because you start with the… Read more →
Crack the Internet encryption with 6 lines of code
In 1994, Peter Shor publishes the paper “Polynomial-Time Algorithms for Prime Factorization and Discrete Logarithms on a Quantum Computer” that leads to the world thinking that Quantum Computers can break the internet encryption. Is it true? Yes… but. a BIG but. And I know, clickbaity title, but hey, we are in the #QuantumComputing world after all 🙂 Now, I won’t… Read more →
My Path into Quantum Computing (take 2)
A couple of months have passed since I wrote the first post on how to get into #QuantumComputing. I kept learning and meeting amazing people and I am more engaged than ever. This industry is growing exponentially (both in technology and development and in investment). As such it is difficult to keep up with everything going on, on top of… Read more →
My Path into Quantum Computing
During this lockdown period, like many others, I have taken the chance to take on something new. Something I never did before that could represent a nice challenge and at the same time help me in the future. But not necessary related to work today (or in a decade for that matter). Quantum computing has always been for me this… Read more →
