Quantum computing has been promising to change everything for decades. BlueQubit might be the company that finally makes that promise real.
Hayk Tepanyan is the Co-Founder and CTO of BlueQubit, an Alchemist company built by Stanford computer scientists who left Google to solve one of the hardest problems in deep tech. Their mission is simple to say and incredibly hard to do: make quantum computing genuinely useful.
In this episode, Ravi Belani, Founder and Chairman of Alchemist, sits down with Hayk to unpack a breakthrough that happened just months ago and what it actually means for the future of the technology.
They get into:
What BlueQubit's ”scientific quantum advantage” actually is, and why it matters that it uses real world inputs rather than problems pre-designed for quantum
How BlueQubit solved in 2 hours a problem that would take the world's largest supercomputer years to crack
The two-stage roadmap from scientific quantum advantage to commercial quantum advantage, and why Hayk believes commercial is only 2 to 3 years away
Why the quantum version of the ChatGPT moment will look completely different from what happened with AI
How quantum will affect billions of people indirectly, through new drugs, new materials, and better batteries, before most people even know it's happening
Why quantum teleportation is already happening, just not at human scale yet
What laser focus actually means as a founder, and why having ideas you choose not to pursue is a sign of discipline not distraction
Why scientists are the worst people to ask about 50-year predictions
This is one of the most grounded and genuinely exciting quantum conversations we have had on this show. No hype, just a builder who is deep in the work and quietly changing what is possible.
