Quantum Now: Why the Waiting Is Over, with Jerry Chow (IBM Fellow, CTO of Quantum-Centric Supercomputing)

Is quantum computing here already, or are we still waiting for the revolution?

In this inaugural episode of The Q-Talk, Laurent Guiraud (CEO & Co-Founder, ColibriTD) sits down with Jerry Chow, IBM Fellow and CTO of Quantum-Centric Supercomputing, for a conversation that cuts through the hype and lands on one message: the waiting is over.

Jerry has spent over a decade at the center of IBM's quantum hardware journey, from the first cloud-accessible quantum computer to today's 156+ qubit systems. Few people can speak with equal authority on superconducting qubit physics and enterprise deployment strategy.

In this episode, we explore three essential questions:

→ What has actually changed in quantum technology in the last three years, and what tells us we've crossed a real threshold?

→ What does the hybrid quantum-classical future look like, and how should organizations prepare today?

→ Why does the ecosystem matter as much as the hardware, and who's building the future of quantum software?

From IBM's $10B investment roadmap to the rise of quantum-centric supercomputing, from the first Quantum Foundry to the companies solving real problems on today's machines, this is a conversation for quantum professionals, investors, policymakers, and anyone who needs to understand what's coming next.

Quantum Now. Not someday. Now.
