In this episode of The Quantum Kid, 9-year-old Kai teams up with co-host Katia to explore how quantum computing is beginning to reshape how we build, design, and optimize everything — from materials to supply chains.
They’re joined by two brilliant guests: Frederik Flöther – Chief Quantum Officer at QuantumBasel, home to Switzerland’s first commercial quantum computer and Antonio Linares – Global manufacturing executive working on real-world tech integration
In the webinar, our guest Noelle Ibrahim, PhD, Quantum Industry Leader at IBM, dives deep into one of the most practical and promising quantum use cases: portfolio optimization in finance. From explaining the core principles of superposition, entanglement, and interference to showing how they map directly onto financial decision-making, Noelle walks us through how quantum computers can evaluate risk, correlation, and uncertainty in entirely new ways.
