The Tech Blog Writer Podcast - Inspired Tech Startup Stories & Interviews With Tech Leaders, Entrepreneurs And Innovators

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Blake Johnson, Quantum Engine Lead at IBM Quantum, to explore the recent expansion of Qiskit, the world’s most popular quantum software platform. IBM’s Qiskit has evolved from an experimental tool into a highly stable and reliable platform capable of running complex quantum circuits on processors with over 100 qubits. This conversation dives into how Qiskit is now purpose-built to extract the best performance from real quantum hardware as industries around the world search for quantum advantage—the point where a quantum computer offers the most effective solution to a problem over any classical method. Blake shares insights into how IBM’s collaboration with its global quantum ecosystem of over 600,000 users has driven the development of Qiskit’s new performance capabilities. These include AI-powered tools that help organizations map their problems to quantum circuits, features that simplify interfacing with quantum systems, and new abilities that efficientl
