Pex Machina Deep dive interview part 1: Matthias Kaiser
Building the bridge between quantum and real-worldimpactIn Part 1 of my deep-dive with MatthiasKaiser, CEO of Pex Machina, we talked about what it reallytakes to turn quantum research into something that matters.Matthias started out as a physicist but spent years working in business development before launching his startup. That mix of science and sales shaped how he looks at innovation.He learned early that many quantum companies start with the technology and then go searching for a problem.Pex Machina flips that logic. They start with real problems in oncology and use quantumsimulation as a tool, not as the story.Matthias put it simply:“We don’t want to push quantum computing. We want to solve problems that matter.”What I liked most about this conversation:💡 How sales experience helps founders stay groundedin what customers actually need🧠 Why quantum simulation could change how we developcancer treatments🚀 Why the real challenge in deep tech isn’t science,it’s product-market fit🎧 Listento Beyondthe Qubit – Pex Machina (Deep Dive Part 1)👉 YouTube link: https://youtu.be/mvHWPsyjF9A#BeyondTheQubit#QuantumComputing #PrecisionMedicine #DeepTech #PexMachina #Innovation #Podcast Please do not forget to check out the presentationfrom Matthias (CEO of Pex Machina)https://drive.google.com/file/d/18LwU4QNtl3nRDAIcPWQ9kb2VLintVQEY/view?usp=drive_link 📌 Disclaimer: This post is shared on a personal basis and I do not represent any company

Quantum meets oncology: building solutions that matter
In the latest episode of Beyond theQubit, I spoke with Matthias Kaiser, CEO of Pex Machina.What struck me most is how focused he is on solving real problems instead of chasing thehype around quantum computing.Pex Machina develops quantumsimulations for precision medicine, helpingpharmaceutical companies design better cancer treatments faster.Matthias started as aphysicist but spent years in business development before launching his startup.That combination gives him a rare perspective — one that blends deep sciencewith commercial discipline.He put it simply:“Our goal isn’t to push quantum computing. It’s to solve problems that matter topatients.”What I liked mostabout this conversation:💡 Quantum simulation as a bridge between AI,chemistry, and pharma🧠 The role of precision medicine in making cancertreatment more personal🚀 How real-world traction matters more thantheoretical breakthroughs #BeyondTheQubit#QuantumComputing #PrecisionMedicine #DeepTech #PharmaTech #Innovation#PexMachina #Podcast Please do not forget to check out the presentationfrom Matthias (CEO of Pex Machina) https://drive.google.com/file/d/18LwU4QNtl3nRDAIcPWQ9kb2VLintVQEY/view?usp=drive_link 📌 Disclaimer: This post is shared on a personal basis and I do not represent any company

Part 2 Deep dive interview Quantum scout Olga Mamlyga
🚀 Quantum security is no longer a future problemIt’s here. Today.When I sat down with Olga Mamlyga, co-founder of Quantum Scout Apps, one insight kept echoing:“Hackersdon’t follow the rules. If you only protect one layer, they’ll find another.”Olga is building a 7-layer quantum-secure network that protects every layer of the OSI stack: from physicalfiber to application logic.Not in ten years. Now.🔑Key takeaways fromthe conversation:• Quantum KeyDistribution (QKD) isn’t enough, itcovers a single layer and is too costly for large-scale rollout.• Quantum threatslike store-now-decrypt-later mean thatdata stolen today can be cracked by tomorrow’s quantum computers.• Criticalinfrastructure: banking, power grids, hospitals, needs protection before quantum decryption is practical.• Even cryptonetworks are far less secure than we assume.💡Why it matters for investors & builders If you care aboutwhere deep tech meets national security,this episode is a wake-up call.Let’s make quantumsecurity visible before the threat is visible to everyone else.#BeyondTheQubit#QuantumComputing #Cybersecurity #QuantumNetworks #StoreNowDecryptLater#DeepTech Please make sure tocheck Olga her presenation: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hN5a38MUbDyvP7CAobwNu1C1lnAzFq8n/view?usp=sharing 📌 Disclaimer: This post is shared on a personal basis and I do notrepresent any company. #BeyondTheQubit#QuantumSecurity #CyberSecurity #DeepTech #StoreNowDecryptLater

Hackers don’t follow the book. If you only protect one layer, they willl go around it.
🔒 The next cyber-attack won’t wait for quantum computers.On the new Beyond the Qubit I sat downwith Olga Mamlyga, co founder of Quantum Scout Apps.Her team builds physics-based quantum networks that secure all 7 layers of the internet stack far beyond what post-quantum cryptography can cover.“Hackersdon’t follow the rules. If you protect only one layer, they’ll simply go aroundit.”Why it matters now• “Store-now,decrypt-later” theft is already happening.• Nation-stateactors are probing grids, hospitals, and crypto networks today.• True QuantumNetworks can roll out on existing fiber tomorrowno decade-long wait.Quantum security isthe new digital backbone.How many layers ofyour organization are really safe? #BeyondTheQubit#QuantumSecurity #CyberSecurity #DeepTech #StoreNowDecryptLater Please make sure tocheck Olga her presentation: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hN5a38MUbDyvP7CAobwNu1C1lnAzFq8n/view?usp=sharing 📌 Disclaimer: This post is shared on a personal basis and I do not represent any company.
