While quantum computing garners most of the headlines, quantum sensing is silently revolutionising how we navigate a world where GPS can no longer be taken for granted. Host Konstantinos Karagiannis sits down with Sanket Deshpande (CEO) and Ashwarya Das (COO) of Dirac Labs to explore how executive order mandates and over 1,500 daily GPS jamming attacks are forcing a massive shift toward resilient, spoof-proof…

In this episode, host Konstantinos Karagiannis reunites with longtime friends and co-founders of the Quantum Village, Mark Carney and Victoria Kumran, to preview their upcoming plans for DEF CON 34. Celebrating their fifth anniversary, the duo reflects on how the Quantum Village has evolved from a "hodgepodge" of quantum skepticism into an internationally recognised hub for open-source, hands-on hardware. Backed by…

Is quantum technology purely a science of the future, or can it solve major enterprise problems today? In this episode, Pouya Dianat, Chief Revenue Officer of Quantum Computing Inc. (QCi), joins host Konstantinos Karagiannis to discuss how his company is moving past the lab stage to deliver real business value right now. Dianat breaks down QCi’s unique hardware approach using nonlinear photonics and thin-film…

Welcome back to Risky Women Radio, near the midpoint of 2026. If you’ve spent the last few months celebrating whispered promises of regulatory “simplification” and a “lighter supervisory touch,” we hate to ruin the party—but you’re likely basking in false comfort.

Is quantum computing trapped behind a hardware bottleneck? In this episode, host Konstantinos Karagiannis sits down with Richard Givhan, the CEO of Haiqu, who challenges this long-standing narrative. While the industry has historically focused on building perfect, fault-tolerant systems, Givhan argues that this theoretical cynicism has caused the software layer to be deeply undervalued. Haiqu is disrupting this…

In this episode, Chris Tam, President and Head of Innovation at BTQ, joins host Konstantinos Karagiannis to shatter the comforting illusions many Bitcoiners still hold about the quantum computing threat. While many assume that a Q-Day attack would only disrupt future mining, Tam exposes the true, terrifying reality: Quantum computers utilizing Shor's algorithm are on an exponential trajectory to cracking the…

In this episode, Thorsten Stremlau, a Systems Principal Architect at NVIDIA and Co-Chair of the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) Marketing Work Group, joins host Konstantinos Karagiannis to discuss the critical role of hardware roots of trust in protecting against the quantum computing threat.

In this episode, host Konstantinos Karagiannis sits down with Toby Cubitt, the co-founder and CTO of Phasecraft, to explore how clever mathematics and algorithmic breakthroughs are slashing the requirements for quantum advantage by orders of magnitude. Toby shares how his team has already knocked factors of one million off the gate counts for critical simulations, effectively buying a decade of hardware development…

In this episode, we unpack how energy shocks translate into real‑world economic pressure, from higher fuel and shipping costs to rising prices on everyday products many people do not even associate with oil and gas. We explore why energy volatility is no longer an occasional disruption but a structural feature of the global economy, how companies and boards should think about resilience along with stability, and…

In this episode, Vincent van Wingerden, Director of Strategic Partnerships at Classiq, joins host Konstantinos Karagiannis to discuss the dawn of quantum vibe coding. While traditional quantum programming often requires tedious manual manipulation of gates and hardware-specific constraints, Classiq’s platform introduces a high-level abstraction that allows users to focus on intent rather than implementation.
