The Power of Quantum Computing

March 10, 2026

While the world is focused on artificial intelligence, quantum computing is quietly emerging as the next major technological shift. In Episode 282 of That Great Business Show, host Conall Ó Móráin speaks with our CEO Jason Lynch about how Equal1 is building practical quantum computers designed to operate inside today's data centers.

As Jason explains, quantum computing's power comes from qubits, which allow calculations to scale exponentially. With as few as 50 qubits, a quantum system can represent more computational states than all classical computers combined.

In the video, you'll learn:

  • Why quantum computing is fundamentally exponential in power
  • How 50 qubits can represent more computational states than all classical computers combined
  • Why today's computers—and even AI—cannot simulate complex molecules
  • How quantum could accelerate material discovery, for drug development, battery innovation, and new materials
  • How quantum can improve optimization challenges like logistics and networks
  • Why AI is computationally inefficient, and how quantum could help solve that

Learn more about the power of quantum computing in the full episode.
