More Intel on Quantum Computing with Sean Brehm at Spectral Capital

 

Quantum computing is gearing up to revolutionize industries in a multitude of ways. With AI accelerating rapidly, quantum computing is also having its impactful moment, and even on its way to alter cybersecurity, finance, and data processing. And there’s a reason for the rise. Cybercrime alone is a $10 trillion industry that is exposing both vulnerabilities and opportunities for the future of information security.

How can businesses and individuals prepare for the quantum era?

On this episode of “DisruptED,” host Ron J. Stefanski spoke with Sean Michael Brehm, co-founder of Crowdpoint Technologies, to explore the emerging field of quantum computing and its real-world applications. As a technologist and entrepreneur, Brehm shared his insights on how quantum computing will impact industries and reshape the global economy.

Some key discussion points of the episode explored:

  • Why quantum computing’s influence will surpass that of AI in the coming years.
  • Understanding the distinction between data and information, and how quantum computing transforms raw data into refined, monetizable assets.
  • How Spectral Capital is developing sustainable data centers and quantum chip technology to lead the transition into a new era.

Sean Michael Brehm is a seasoned technologist and entrepreneur with a background in AI, cybersecurity, and big data analytics. Brehm transitioned into the tech field as a former ranger and infantry officer. He worked with IBM on early AI systems before founding and exiting multiple AI-driven companies. His latest endeavor, Spectral Capital, integrates quantum, blockchain, and sustainable data infrastructure to redefine data security.
