Summary

First of all, for a subject as complex as Quantum Computing & Quantum Physics, Gregoire Ribordy is awesome at making difficult topics understandable by the average non-physicist. For that reason alone, this is a great interview.
IDQ provides its customers long-term security of their data through quantum-safe crypto solutions. IDQ also provides best-in class instruments, tools and expertise that enable its customers to crack problems by utilizing the potential of quantum physics.
Gregoire Ribordy, talks about Quantum-Safe Crypto, Photon Counting and Random Number Generators. Mentioning the commercial application he lists down; Lotteries & Gaming, Cryptography, IT Security Applications, Quantum cryptography, Password & PIN Number Generation, Random seed generation, Mobile Prepaid Systems, Numerical Simulations and Statistical Research.
IDQ is a Swiss based firm, operational since 2001.

0:00.0	Welcome to Almost Here, Around the Corner of Future Technology Podcasts with Richard Jacobs.
0:07.0	Future Technologies is poised to transform our lives for better or worse for the focus of this podcast. Almost here
0:14.3	means these technologies are now here and starting to be used. We're just around the
0:18.8	corner. For Bitcoin to Artificial Intelligence, 3D printing, blockchain, virtual reality, and more.
0:25.4	Hi this is Richard Jacobs with Future Tech Podcast almost here around the corner
0:30.8	technology.
0:31.8	Today have a very interesting guest, Gregoir, Ribodi, from ID Quantique at Switzerland.
0:38.0	We're going to be talking about randomness and a couple other quantum computing type issues.
0:44.4	Gregwar, how you doing?
0:46.4	Yes, fine, thank you, thank you Richard.
0:48.8	Yeah, if you would, can you introduce viewers or listeners to what IDE-Quantique does?
0:55.0	Yes, so ID-Quantique is a company based in Switzerland which specializes in applications of quantum technologies
1:04.2	in the field of cyber security.
1:07.0	And the ID basically is to use the new potential
1:11.3	of quantum physics in IT in order to better secure the information of our
1:17.0	customers.
1:18.0	All right, so it will probably be be nebulous to a lot of people.
1:24.0	I mean, quantum computing itself is amazing.
1:27.0	What, um, what's probably the main application at you that you guys are working on and how does it work?
1:33.0	So I guess the main application would be something that we call quantum cryptography
1:38.0	and the idea is to use the property of quantum physics to ensure the security of communications.
1:47.2	And as you pointed out, you know, quantum physics is a bit esoteric and everybody doesn't know how it works.
