Someone Is Stealing Your Data Now to Decrypt It Later | Dr. Yaakov Weinstein, MITRE (Ep. 11)

Send us Fan Mail Blond & Quantum Episode 11: Someone is stealing your data right now to decrypt it later | Dr. Yaakov Weinstein, Chief Scientist Officer for Quantum Technologies at MITRE Everyone in quantum will give you a date. Dr. Yaakov Weinstein gives you a graph. As Chief Scientist Officer for Quantum Technologies at MITRE — tells the U.S. Department of Defense, the intelligence community and DHS what in quantum is real and what is marketing — he joins Eva Galant on Blond & Quantum to explain why MITRE's public report puts the breaking of RSA-2048 in 2055–2060, and why the most useful thing you can hand a decision-maker is a number that carries no hype. Listen to find out: 📍 Quantum error correction explained using one word — “yes” — and why measurement is the thing that makes it hard 📍 Why the man with ~3,000 citations in error correction wonders whether the codes are too fancy, and whether we should just build better qubits instead 📍 The RSA-2048 graph: built entirely from the companies' own published metrics, shown to those companies, and why nobody argues with the data — only about who will break the trend 📍 “My job would be easier if the word ‘breakthrough’ wasn't attached to everything” — how to separate real signal from quarterly announcements 📍 The most underrated field in quantum — sensors — and what he means by “practicing quantum” From a whim application to MIT in the 1990s, when the entire quantum community fit into one room and he knew everyone in it, to advising U.S. federal agencies — a clear-eyed look at what's real, what's hype, and what the numbers actually say. 🎙️ Guest: Dr. Yaakov Weinstein | Chief Scientist Officer for Quantum Technologies at MITRE Corporation 🎧 Host: Eva Galant | Blond & Quantum #QuantumComputing #PostQuantumCryptography #QuantumErrorCorrection #MITRE #RSA2048 #Cybersecurity #quantumsafe #blondandquantum Support the show
