Originally streamed live, but honestly, it was just too good not to

share again. Welcome to this special edition of Impact

Quantum, where we dive into our dazzlingly data rich quantum

industry reports. We were so excited by what we uncovered.

Yes, actual excitement from an AI and two humans with

caffeine that we just had to make sure you didn't miss it. Whether you're deep

into qubits or just quantum curious, this episode will spark

your synapses. So buckle up because Quantum is no

longer theoretical, it's industrial. Now here is some

dub step.

Hello. Hello. Is my audio working?

Yes, your audio is working. Awesome. I always like to check because there have been

times when, when I've been talking

and like, it's like there's nothing going on.

So my name is. Are you taping? I'm sorry, yeah. Oh yeah, we're

streaming live, so. And then when this is ultimately. Hello future

people. We'll put this on the Impact Quantum

podcast feed. If you're not subscribed, go to impactquantum.com

or search for it. Wherever you get your

podcast, you can check out

me at Frank Digsdata on most of the socials

and you can also go to franksworld.com data driven TV and

of course, course, of course, of course, of course. Impact

quantum.com. how's it going, Candace? You're excited?

I'm so excited. I am not gonna lie, I'm

very excited. We've just, we've just launched a new project

that we're, we're feeling really good about here. So I have the

QR code up there and let's show it

to the world. And big shout out to Candace because you've really

been the driving force behind a lot of, a lot of

this. So you. I think everybody knows about our country

reports. Hopefully.

Those have been great. I have to tell you, I, I launched those oh

my goodness. A couple weeks ago, like it was a

late August, I think, right? And we, and we got

out, I mean, a lot of reports, right? Like over,

over 20 different reports of different countries. And, and the idea

was to understand what does quantum look like in,

in everybody's world. And, you know, how are

they invested in it? You know, is it just government? Is it

just, you know, is it just theoretical

ideas of how they want to move everybody forward? Is it actually

industry? And by creating these

reports and comparing them to each other,

it really gave you the opportunity to understand the idea of the readiness

scale 100%. So if you're

listening to this, this, it's going to be@impact

quantum.com industry report. They'll probably be something

we'll add to the menu, too, because Candace knows how much I love, love, love

WordPress. And it's

not the content management system we deserve. It's the. It's not the content

management system we need. It's the content management system we deserve.

That having been said, like, if you're a WordPress guru and you're within the sound

of my voice, reach out. I'm

reaching that point of, you know what? Just pay somebody else to do it.

It's not a bad idea to outsource. No, it's really important

to understand where your talents lie.

Exactly. Where you add value. Right. So one of the. One of the

success gurus, and Candace knows I'm like a course junkie and success

coast junkie, but one of

the. One of the guys I listen to is

he. He has this. It's the Dean Graziosi. And he has this phrase

of, you should have a to do list, but also a not to do list.

And slowly, you know, again, I'm. I'm not a web developer anymore. Right.

Like, I, I have. I left that world a number of years ago, so.

Which is funny because this is a web report. But we'll

get into that a little bit. What I did was I

collated all the data and basically put it into a common format and then

had AI build this wonderful UI around it.

What you can do is you can see. Pick an industry, Candace. Any industry.

I think you're on mute. My dog. The

doorbell rang. My dog was having an issue. I was wondering, is that your dog

or mine? And that was mine. Yeah, that was mine.

But let's pick energy, because it's actually energy. Really exciting.

That's also very timely. So when you click

on an industry. So first off, we have it broken out into six industries for

now, right. Energy, pharma and life science, finance,

aerospace, defense. An aiml. Right.

Maybe we'll rename that to tech or something like that. So let's click on

energy. And you have an instant. Now, some of this is

based on data of reports that you've not yet released. Right? So

how many industry reports you have? About like, 15, 20.

20. Okay. Yeah. So we're going to be releasing

those, I don't know, at a cadence of. We've been debating this,

like one or two a week, three a week. I don't know. She's

very proficient and prolific.

So you have kind of the major companies that are involved in this. Right.

For energy, ExxonMobil is partnered with IBM

for maritime logistics. That investment is

undisclosed. Right. So we're pulling this all from open, you know, data. Right.

So there's nothing crazy there, you know, Tesla

battery material optimization. And if you hear me talk about like all the

things that Quantum can really fix, one of which is going to be merit

logistical and then the other is going to be, you know, kind of the battery

material enhancements. Right. You know, as someone,

as someone who's built kind of like off grid solar kind of charging

systems and it's actually now more,

the battery parts are more expensive than the panels.

So. And the energy storage challenges. Right. So we have the

challenges and the opportunities here and basically kind of all this

has to go time to market. Right. And then if you

wanted to also kind of factor, speaking of time,

you can do kind of the near term, you filter it on near

term projections. Right. So the next two years,

the next, you know, three to

three to seven years and then beyond that. Right.

And you'll see kind of like the progress towards those goals will change based on

what you're picking. Right, Right. And this is all volume. Think of this

all as like volume one of this information because

we're going to be doing a follow up on this and then we're, then we'll

be able to see, you know, who was able to stick with their timelines,

who's become even more, you know, aggressive in, in their

innovation. And, and that's exciting to see, it's exciting

to see the, the different,

to see the different sectors evolve. Right.

100%. And

because I'm a big fan of network graphs

and that's a great way to visualize things, we also created a network graph.

I love this. I love this. Show them, show them this, Frank. I love this.

This is cool, right? So let's just say, hey, Look, I see J.P.

morgan in here. Right? Right. Let's click on them. We can see. Well, you know,

to no surprise, they're really only connected to finance. But what about energy?

What companies are attached to energy? Right. There's a bug in it. I will

fix it. I am aware of it. If I drag these nodes around, I was

hoping I'd get really cool animations as I drag them around, but I'm working on

that. But you can also drag out the timeline, the different timelines for

the year. You can see where, where

does sensing play into effect? Right.

Sensing is a tie to

2028-2032, but also

obviously the defense industry. Right, right. We

also see finance has a number of

connections. Right. So we'll click on. What's supposed to happen is

I drag it and I let go. Then if I want to know more about

it, I click on it. But right now there's a bug, full disclosure.

But you go through here and eventually as these reports get published

and released, you'll be able to click on, you know, it'll say here.

You know, click here for the, for the former report.

And if you want to really be on top of.

If you really want to be on top of.

Hold on one second. Yes. No,

no. My son is. One of my

kids is home sick and he wants to let the dogs out, but the guys

are out doing the, the lawn. Oh, no, forget the

dogs. Will have a fit. Yeah, hold on one second.

Exactly. So I was very excited about

releasing these reports and Frank just went and we started vibe coding this,

which was really, really exciting because live

doing the code and having things develop was just for someone

who doesn't code, it was incredibly gratifying to see it

come alive. And I'm like, ooh, let's make these connections easier

to see. Can we move around the nodes? And Frank's like, we're going to vibe

code it. We're going to move around the nodes. And then all of a sudden

it showed us a revised version and it was very, very exciting.

And you could zoom in all these things, right? And this is something that. Yes,

well, technically I could do, I could actually do this, right.

But I don't do front end development anymore.

It's just something I don't do and it's just not. Again, it goes back to

what we said earlier. There's a to do list and not to do list.

It just makes more sense. There's a couple of projects we have

cooking that are basically based on that. I have the idea, I have

effectively the requirements documents written down. Now

instead of me struggling to how do I install

electronics, right. How do I, how do I get electron react?

Like, let's learn react. And like, again, something I would love to do,

but you know, I have three kids, four

dogs, and you know, you know all this going on, but this has been

really good in terms of, of making that happen,

right? Plus, you know, two podcasts with the third one

in pre production now. So exciting,

you know, so it's, you know, it's one of those things where, you

know that plus I like to read too, right? So here's a plug for. This

guy was a guest on the previous episode of Data Driven,

so definitely check it out. But you

know, that's Something else we're going to have pretty soon too as well, right?

That's right. You want to, you want to show the, the, what we call project

codename Bookie code Nicode. Yes, we'll have a

better name for it once it's done.

But, but it's going to be our. Quantum bookshelf and

it's going to include, you know, number one, all the books from

people who have been guests on our show, which is just really

gratifying. But then also, you know, what we see

that's out there in the marketplace that really is resonating with people.

Oh, and our latest book.

Oh, of course. How could we forget? That's right. Let me pull

out the. There we go.

The Quantum Sales playbook. Selling outcomes, not

Qubits. And it's on sale now. You can

get it Amazon, Kindle, and. We'Ve sold a couple of copies actually. So,

so the, the real point of this book was, you know, in my day

job in the last few years, I've been in, you know, I've been in sales,

right. I've been in sales at Microsoft and then I led the go to market

motion for Red Hat OpenShift AI,

right? And kind of a lot of the

conversations we had on the podcast with these founders

were eerily familiar with early AI conversations, whether that was at

Microsoft or whatever. And I realized, like, the problem isn't

specific to Quantum, right? Although that is kind of what this is branded as,

right? It can apply to any emerging tech, right?

And it's, you sell outcomes, not qubits, not neural

networks, not whatever the next cool gadget is going to be. If you're

selling robots, you know, on a manufacturing line, you're selling a faster

output per hour, right? You're not selling robots. That's really

what you're selling, a solution. You don't, you sell solutions, not technology.

And that, that I think that's a key differentiator that I think a lot

of people need to learn, right? And as we talk to these startup founders,

as we talk to all of these folks, you know, we realize

very quickly that this is the same

problem, right? You know, one of our guests was talking about how he,

you know, they realized that they needed, they needed

a customer success work to go in and actually install these devices,

right? Because at the end of the day, someone will have to rack and stack

these, you know, even if it's a cloud solution, right? Even, you

know, somebody at Amazon or Microsoft is going to have to do it, right?

So keep that in mind. And, and if you are listening and you're

part of an incubator or kind of a startup hub or

what do they call it? Maison Quantum in France, I think

the House of Quantum. House of Quantum. You know, we'll give

you a copy for free, right? Because we want, we want, it's

7.99, right. I'm not, we're not making a ton of money

off of this, right. I want, I, I, I

want people to, I want this ecosystem to grow and

I want people to read our stuff because it's great. You know what?

That's really what I want. And I want startups to succeed, whether they're in France,

whether they're in San Francisco, whether they're

in Maryland. There's a huge quantum lab in Maryland. You know,

dude, all, all I ask, I'll give you a free copy. Just reach out and

if you want to have coffee, dude, that's even better. Just don't make me go

to, don't make me eat at ikea. That's all I ask. The joke behind

that is College park also has the IKEA in town,

so. But no, I mean, that's the

point, right? Like, that's, that's what I want to do. We also have the other

book. That's right. Curious. Your

Gateway to the Next Computing Revolution. This is really more of a career

guide, right. So if you're, you know, don't get, don't get kind of

thrown around that. But we are going to have a site, Quantum Bookshelf.

It is a bit behind schedule. It is mentioned in the, one of the books.

It's a site. It's right now, it's again, it's another

WordPress thing. But yeah,

so definitely check it out. Highly recommend it. And

yeah, but definitely go to check out the Quantum industry report and

I think you'll like it and then tell. Us what you think. Like, you know,

you say, hey, what about, have you guys looked into, you know,

XYZ sector? And you know, we'll know if we have

and if we haven't, then that's great, let's investigate it and see

what's going on. It's, it's just really thrilling. Like,

I was so, I was so turned on to it after

I did education, right. And I just really hadn't

thought of education that way. Well, education is,

is obviously a big industry. It, it. And this was one of the debates you

and I had, right? When we were working on the site you, you

wanted there actually was going to be a global visualization,

right. But education Applies in every country. Right? Like, or it should

anyway. Right. So like what does that look like? And there's different angles of education.

Right? There's educating folks on Quantum or using

Quantum to enhance this. Right. So like really

what does that look like was really kind of the, the,

the debate you and I had about that. Right. And then, and also looking at

what Quantum does inside of education. So for

example, what Quantum's ability is gonna, is gonna have

in, in neurodiversity diagnoses.

Oh yeah, it's just, it's just mind boggling

how much, how much better it's going to become. Which was. Even though

we're talking about that, we're kind of also debating,

well, is that pharma and life science, right.

This is, you know, all my data people know

categorizing stuff is like half the, is like half the battle,

right? Whoops. No, it's good.

Everything's moving on the screen. I loving it. We're all dynamic. And if

you're just listening, then you're blissfully unaware of that crazy animation we

just saw. But check it out. I did want

to emphasize that truly the,

the impetus behind the Quantum sales playbook

was the podcast and really

what these industry leaders were telling us about

how, you know, they're selling Quantum themselves,

what kind of roadblocks they're having, and then saying,

well, how do you get through the roadblocks? It's like, you know, you really have

to get away from. Doesn't matter what the technology is.

Right. And like that's when I had my aha. Moment in some of those

conversations was, yeah, I mean,

this is not new, right. The tech is new, but the problem is not

right. And especially, especially if you're,

especially if you're a technologist. Right. And obviously quantum computing

is definitely filled with technologists. Not Only that, researchers, PhD types that

may not think like the customer. Right. That, that is a month

mental mind shift and that that book will help you kind of get through it

and definitely let me know also too, the one thing I want to mention is

actually part of Kindle Unlimited. So

if you have Kindle Unlimited, it's. It won't cost

you anything. That's right. Right. So like

I said, we're not doing it for the money per se. I learn a lot.

Like I've, you know, how many shows are we in now? 26th.

Yeah. Yeah, I think we just released our 26th and right.

In the kitty there's four more. Like in the, in the kitty. Right? There's four

more in queue and we have a busy month. We're taping another episode

tomorrow. Really excited about that. But. Right.

You know, it, it's, it's, it's fascinating information

from the kind of people that you want to hear from.

Absolutely. Like and you know, every person we talk to, we learned so

much. Whether it was one of our first guests, Harshita,

who was a typical comp sci student who

found herself kind of like fascinated by this

new world. Right. And

she made a switch. Right. And we're really early. Then our guest recorded

yesterday. He, he

also was a comp size student but now he's getting his master's

at the MIT of Canada. What's it called again?

Waterloo. Waterloo. I knew I had a W. Right. And, and that

was really fascinating to hear. You know, right in it. What is he doing,

what is interesting to him and where he sees

that aspect going in the next couple years. And he was really fascinated with error

correction. So you know, everything to him was really kind of

in that zone. But it was really nice to talk to somebody who was kind

of specializing in something that we've talked about and we've heard

several times. Hey look, what I'm just noticing the

chat. Jeff, Jeff Fritz. Oh, great friend,

great guy. We used to work together at Microsoft. But what if you want

to buy a new video card to run the coolest Olama

models? Hey man, I have an affiliate link for that.

I just don't have it available.

But you know, you won't be

able to. I actually have my

gaming machine that my kid uses and one of the

reasons he was down here was he was, he was

trying to let me convince him to unlock it but I'm like, he was

homesick today and I'm like no, no, no, no, no, that's not how this works.

Like when I was a kid it was price of right, you know, price is

right and like the usual kind of like daytime

tv. No, no, you're not going to get to play Jurassic park all day.

It's whammy. No whammy, right? No, that's right. That's a pressure luck.

Yeah. Oh my God, that's right. And

the, so that's earlier

on a previous stream I talked about this, this computer I got, it was a

floor model at Micro center and it's basically got like a high end

gpu. It's like a mini PC. So it's meant to

be very portable. So I actually have that up in the kitchen and then I

can remote desktop into it. So while he's, while he's home at night,

he plays video games. While it's during the daytime, I run

AI models on it. Right. Like, so I

actually got the video generator working too. So like, you know, there's all sorts of,

all sorts of fun stuff we have planned. But

the. But good. Good to see Jeff tuning in. That's cool.

Yeah, that was fun. That was really fun. But yeah. So we really

just want to do this today to talk to you about this incredible

visualization of the quantum computing industry

roadmap. And you know, you're

hearing about it, you're hearing about innovation every day. Like if

you're following this at all, it's just so much going on. It's so very quick

and you've got to keep up. But it's exciting. It's just such

exciting information to see, you know, what's happening

and where you might have a place in it. Right? Absolutely.

And you know this by having an industry focused approach. If you're a.

This is good for everybody. Right. It's good for industry, it's good for consultants. But

if you're trying to figure out like, hey, I'm already in the aerospace,

aerospace business or energy business, how does this affect me? Right.

I would imagine if you're in the defense industry, probably well

aware of what this all means. But you

know, you get to see the risk rewards and you know, this is definitely, I

think, a growth market and I think this is just demonstrates that.

Absolutely. So I'm very happy about this. And if you want to be up

to date on the very latest happenings of when these reports go

out, I think we announce it to our

newsletter subscribers. So just go to

impact quantum.com click join.

We'd love to have you. You can join our list and you'll be among. I

think you get a free copy of. At least you get a free copy

of Quantum Curious. Correct. For joining. Yes.

And that's all automated so that'll happen automatically. So

yeah. So very excited about this. Good to hear from folks on the live

stream. I'll flash up the QR codes one

more time. Here's the. There's the quantum

industry up there and then the book is

right here. Definitely check it out. If you already have Kindle

Unlimited, it won't cost you a thing to do it. Right.

And you can just buy it outright. We're going to raise the price

in a couple of days because I do think it's valuable and honestly most

of these sales playbooks, these sales type of books go for way more than that.

Right. So so that, that's all it is.

And if we sell enough, maybe I will get that

fancy GPU that Jeff was talking about. Who knows? I don't know.

He's got dreams. They're good dreams too. It's good stuff

too. Every time like I'm in front of like at Micro center also, right? Like

I'm in front of the glass case where they keep like the real expensive ones.

I'm like, should I, should I?

No. Well, mostly

because like my big concern is like, my big concern is like,

well, you know, in six months that, that two thousand dollar GPU will

be fifteen hundred. Right. And that fifteen hundred dollar GPU will be

a thousand. Right? So it's kind of like, will I use

it? I don't know. Can I wait six months? Can I wait

six months? And then, well, you know what happened in six months there'll be a

new two thousand dollar GPU that will be even better. Right. So

it's this analysis paralysis in a

quantum state, if you will, of superposition between GPUs.

The superposition, right? That's right. So

definitely check it out. And we're, we're working on some

cool projects. Yeah.

Best way to stay connected is impactquantum.com

or you can follow Candace or I on the socials. Oh, and

the Instagram. Don't tell them about the Instagram account. That's right, we have an Instagram

account now. Let's see. I will load that up. We

are Ink Pack Quantum Podcast. Let me load our

profile page and

let's see. Instagram. So you follow us on Instagram.

We have a couple of likes and stuff like that, but we're pushing a lot

of content there too. And eventually we're going to start streaming there.

So that'd be exciting. Yeah, So

a lot of good stuff that's, that's here. And let me

know, let us know what you'd like to see. I mean, we're very,

you know, hey, we're up to five followers now,

right? And we only started this, what, Monday? Yeah, I think it was

Monday. Yeah. Right. But that's it, you know, we

want to get, we get the information out another, on another platform.

If you're out there and you're interested in Quantum and you're curious,

then you come to us and we'll be explaining things to you that way. And

we've been getting good numbers on the, on the

Instagram too, in terms of traffic. So whatever it is, the algorithm loves us.

So I don't know. And on YouTube, we YouTube is doing.

Gangbusters, so, yeah, that's another thing. Let me go there too now. So

it's funny, we have like over 5,000 hours. Yep.

I think like something like 5, 000 hours listened or something. Or

10, 000 hours viewed, but something like that. Yeah, it's really

doing incredibly well. And

normally this live stream would also be broadcast there, but for reasons

it's not right now, but we put our shows there. So if you

can't get enough. If you can't get enough of

us, listening to us on whatever platform you like, you can actually see the

video recordings too. And we also have a bunch of other stuff

too here. Various shows that we have with

other people that are affiliated with us and

may or may not be related to us. Who knows? But,

you know, we, we have a lot of content here, so

highly recommend you check it out. We already have almost

600 videos. Candace. Can you believe it? I really am shocked.

Now, some of those include shorts, but. But, yeah, but still,

you know, it's, it's fantastic. It's. It's definitely

resonating. We're getting out what people want to hear about, and that makes us

very happy. That's why we want to hear from you. Yeah. Let us know what

you'd like to see and we'll be happy to.

Be happy to. You know, if you want to be on the show, just let

us know. We're not hard to find. We're on multiple,

multiple channels now. And maybe we'll do

like a shout out to, to people and stuff like that. Or maybe like

a free copy of something. Yeah, you know, just, just

talk to us. Let us know and, and, you know. Oh, have you, have you

looked into this? And so we haven't yet, but we're now we will.

Awesome. I love it. All right, well, since this is going

to be a podcast episode too, I'll say it here. We'll let the AI finish

the show. And that's a wrap on this special edition of Impact Quantum,
