Lucas and Luna step into the quantum-computing lab to decode the real business of quantum. Not the hype, not the science fiction — the actual hardware race between superconducting qubits, trapped ions, and topological systems; the software stack from quantum algorithms to error correction; and the enterprise use cases where quantum might actually deliver value first, from drug discovery to portfolio optimization. Each episode, Lucas maps the technical landscape with specific numbers — qubit counts, coherence times, gate fidelities — while Luna presses on the business logic: who is buying, who is selling, and what the ROI timeline really looks like. They name the companies (IBM, Google, IonQ, Rigetti, D-Wave), the investors (quantum-focused VC funds, corporate R&D arms), and the open questions (decoupling hype from benchmarked results, talent shortages, supply chain for dilution refrigerators). No crystal-ball gazing — just a forensic look at the emerging quantum economy through the lens of public financial filings, academic preprints, and industry roadmaps. If you work in tech strategy, venture capital, or deep-tech product management, this is the conversation that prepares you for a world where qubits replace transistors. Can quantum computing justify its billions in funding before the decade ends? #QuantumComputing #Qubits #QuantumHardware #QuantumSoftware #IonQ #IBMQ #GoogleQuantum #Rigetti #DWave #QuantumAlgorithms #ErrorCorrection #QuantumSupremacy #EnterpriseQuantum #TechBusiness #DeepTech #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #Technology Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo© 2026 Fexingo.

    Quantum Computing Is Becoming a Logistics Network Design Engine
    Jun 24 2026
    Episode 70 explores how quantum computing is transforming logistics network design. Lucas and Luna dive into the specific case of DHL's pilot program with D-Wave Systems, which used a quantum annealer to optimize parcel routing across its European hub network. The episode breaks down how the quantum approach reduced truck-miles by 12 percent compared to classical heuristics, saving an estimated 8,000 metric tons of CO2 annually. They discuss the technical leap — moving from a traveling-salesman-problem approximation to a real-time multi-constraint optimization that considers weather, traffic, and fuel costs. Luna challenges whether the results are genuinely quantum or just better classical co-processing, and Lucas explains the 'hybrid quantum-classical' workflow that is becoming the industry standard. The episode also touches on the barriers to scale: qubit coherence times, the need for cryogenic cooling in quantum annealing, and the lack of a standardized software stack. By the end, listeners will understand why logistics giants are betting on quantum for network design — and what has to happen before it goes mainstream. #QuantumComputing #Logistics #DHL #DWaveSystems #SupplyChain #Optimization #HybridQuantumClassical #TravelingSalesmanProblem #TruckMiles #CO2Reduction #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #NetworkDesign #QuantumAnnealing #LastMileDelivery #ParcelRouting Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • How Quantum Computing Is Becoming a Pension Risk Management Engine

    How Quantum Computing Is Becoming a Pension Risk Management Engine
    Jun 23 2026
    This episode explores how quantum computing is beginning to reshape pension fund risk management. Lucas and Luna discuss a concrete use case: optimizing asset-liability matching for a large public pension fund. They walk through how quantum algorithms can simulate thousands of economic scenarios simultaneously, something classical computers struggle with, and how early pilots at funds like the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board are showing promise. The hosts also touch on the regulatory push from the SEC and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, which is starting to take notice. No hype, just the practical math and the real bottlenecks—like error correction and the talent gap. Listeners come away understanding why pension funds, with their long time horizons and massive datasets, might be the sleeper industry for early quantum advantage. #PensionFunds #QuantumComputing #RiskManagement #AssetLiabilityMatching #CPPIB #SEC #PBGC #QuantumAlgorithms #FinancialRisk #MonteCarlo #ErrorCorrection #TalentGap #LongTermInvesting #PortfolioOptimization #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • How Quantum Computing Is Optimizing Last-Mile Delivery Fleets

    How Quantum Computing Is Optimizing Last-Mile Delivery Fleets
    Jun 23 2026
    This episode dives into how quantum computing is revolutionizing last-mile delivery logistics, using DHL's 2025 pilot program with a 50-qubit quantum annealer to reduce fuel costs by 12 percent and cut delivery times by 18 percent across 1,500 delivery trucks in Berlin. Lucas explains how DHL mapped over 10,000 variables including traffic, weather, package weight, and time windows into a quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) model that classical solvers couldn't handle within the required 30-second window. Luna questions whether quantum advantage is real at current qubit counts, and Lucas breaks down how the annealer finds near-optimal solutions by exploiting quantum tunneling. The episode also touches on how competitors like Amazon and UPS are building their own quantum logistics teams, and what this means for the 6.5 million delivery vehicles operating in the US alone. A concrete look at the intersection of quantum hardware and supply chain operations. #QuantumComputing #LastMileDelivery #SupplyChainOptimization #DHL #Amazon #UPS #Logistics #QuantumAnnealing #QUBO #BusinessAndTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechPodcast #QuantumAdvantage #DeliveryOptimization #FleetManagement #BerlinPilot #OperationalEfficiency Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
