The New Quantum Era - innovation in quantum computing, science and technologyPeaked quantum circuits with Hrant GharibyanIn this episode of The New Quantum Era, Sebastian talks with Hrant Gharibyan, CEO and co‑founder of BlueQubit, about “peaked circuits” and the challenge of verifying quantum advantage. They unpack Scott Aaronson and Yushuai Zhang’s original peaked‑circuit proposal, BlueQubit’s scalable implementation on real hardware, and a new public challenge that invites the community to attack their construction using the best classical algorithms available. Along the way, they explore how this line of work connects to cryptography, hardness assumptions, and the near‑term role of quantum devices as powerful scientific instruments.Topics CoveredWhy verifying...

Tech Snippets Today with Joseph RaczynskiQuantum Quake: BlueQubit's Vision of a Computational Revolution, with Hrant GharibyanQuantum is the next great emerging technology that few are really talking about, until now. Today we spoke with Hrant Gharibyan, Co-founder & CEO at BlueQubit. He has focused on a number of different areas including the model of traversable wormholes in holography to develop a new kind of teleportation protocol. Yes, we talked about wormholes. He named this protocol the teleportation by size protocol and wrote a paper on Quantum Gravity in the Lab. Experimental realizations of this protocol on a superconducting quantum computer and ion trap quantum devices can probe many interesting features of Einstein’s gravity, such as th...
