Discover the Future of Quantum Computing with Kirk Bresniker from HPE 🚀

If you ask me, quantum computing is the single most interesting emerging technology at the moment. Jensen Huang from NVIDIA thinks quantum is reaching an inflection point...tech giants like IBM, Google and Microsoft are regularly making big breakthoughs and quantum computing specialist companies like IONQ, @rigetti , @dwavequantum and IQM are selling production ready quantum computers to customers right now. I mean, you can actually buy a fully functional quantum computer from them…today.

At HPE Discover 2025 in Las Vegas I had a unique opportunity to have a chat with Kirk Bresniker, Hewlett Packard Labs Chief Architect, a HPE Fellow and HPEs quantum superstar. We talked about the very basics of quantum computing; what is it, where we are at right now, what will it solve and how does Kirk see HPE’s role in the emerging quantum computing ecosystem. The conversation turned out to be even more fascinating and eye-opening than I thought…
