Dr. Alan Baratz is the CEO of D-Wave Quantum. Baratz joins Big Technology Podcast to discuss the state of quantum computing: what it is, what’s real today, and what’s still ahead. Tune in to hear a clear breakdown of qubits, superposition, and why annealing quantum computing is already delivering practical, commercial results. We also cover annealing vs. gate-model systems, “useful quantum supremacy,” where quantum can complement AI, D-Wave’s Quantum Circuits acquisition, and what to expect at the D-Wave Qubits event (Jan 27–28 in Boca Raton, Florida). Hit play for a grounded tour of quantum from first principles to real-world impact. This interview is sponsored by D-Wave.
