Terry Rudolph (PsiQuantum), Sho Sugiura (Bloq), Matthew Pines (Bitcoin Policy Institute) Quantum Q&A

Show Notes

At Presidio Bitcoin's Quantum Bitcoin Summit Terry Rudolph, a pioneering photonic physicist and co-founder of the world’s largest quantum computing startup, PsiQuantum, joined Sho Sugiura (Blocq) and Matthew Pines (Bitcoin Policy Institute) to assess timelines, architectures, and the future of ECDSA security. Featuring: Terry Rudolph (Co-Founder and Chief Architect, PsiQuantum) Sho Sugiura (Co-Founder and CEO, Blocq) Matthew Pines (Moderator, Bitcoin Policy Institute) Topics covered: Realistic timelines for cryptographically relevant quantum computers (CRQCs) Which hardware paths are still in the race? Why ECDSA could fall by 2030. Government secrecy vs. public roadmaps: should Bitcoiners trust the commercial timelines? What milestones to watch: logical qubits, cryo bottlenecks, and entangled photonic states.
