The Quantum Network Advantage From Security to Distributed Computing

About this episode

The episode features a discussion with Michael Kubadoo on the future of quantum networking and its implications for security and computing.

In today’s episode, we’re joined by Michael Kubadoo, co-founder of Alero Quantum Technologies, for an eye-opening discussion about the future of quantum networking and its game-changing impact on security and computing. We explore what sets quantum networks apart from classical ones, from the physics of entanglement and superposition to the urgent need for security-first principles as this new infrastructure emerges. Michael explains the practical realities and misconceptions around quantum networks, how simulation and hybrid systems are bridging today’s technology with tomorrow’s networks, and why quantum advantages could revolutionize how we think about communication, sensing, and even money. Whether you’re a researcher, entrepreneur, or simply quantum-curious, this conversation offers a rare look at the frontlines of quantum networking—what it will take to build it, the threats and opportunities ahead, and the collaborative effort required to shape the next generation of secure, interconnected technologies.
