    2026/06/07
    Episode 37 dives into how forward-thinking companies are using quantum computing projects to capture R&D tax credits. Lucas explains the mechanics of the U.S. R&D tax credit and how quantum initiatives—from algorithm development to hardware testing—qualify as qualified research expenses. Luna brings a real-world example: how a mid-size chemical firm claimed nearly $2 million in credits by documenting their quantum materials simulation work. The episode explores the IRS safe harbor rules, the importance of process documentation, and why CFOs are starting to see quantum not just as a science project but as a line-item that improves effective tax rate. We also discuss how this changes the internal conversation about quantum budgets and why it may accelerate enterprise adoption. For finance and tax teams listening, this is a concrete way to justify near-term spend while building long-term capability. #QuantumComputing #RDTaxCredit #CorporateTaxStrategy #BusinessAndTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #InnovationPolicy #TaxPlanning #ResearchAndDevelopment #QuantumFinance #IRS #CFO #TechStrategy #EnterpriseQuantum #QuantumHardware #AlgorithmDevelopment #TaxIncentives #CommercialQuantum Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • Quantum Computing Is Becoming a Supply Chain Risk Tool

    Quantum Computing Is Becoming a Supply Chain Risk Tool
    2026/06/07
    Episode 36 of Quantum Computing Business with Fexingo dives into a fresh application: using quantum algorithms to map and mitigate supply chain disruptions. Lucas and Luna focus on a concrete case: a 2025 pilot by a major European auto manufacturer that used a quantum annealing system to re-route 12,000 shipments after a port shutdown in Rotterdam. They break down how quantum approaches combinatorial optimization differently than classical solvers, why the hybrid cloud model matters here, and what early benchmarks say about cost vs. classical alternatives. The conversation also touches on why procurement teams are starting to fund quantum proof-of-concepts as a resilience expense rather than an R&D experiment. No hype, just the numbers and the decisions behind them. #QuantumComputing #SupplyChain #RiskManagement #Logistics #EnterpriseTech #QuantumAnnealing #HybridCloud #CombinatorialOptimization #Procurement #Resilience #Automotive #Rotterdam #Benchmarking #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #QuantumBusiness Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • Why Quantum Computing Needs a Talent Pipeline Not a War

    Why Quantum Computing Needs a Talent Pipeline Not a War
    2026/06/06
    Episode 35 of Quantum Computing Business with Fexingo dives into the talent crunch facing the quantum industry. Lucas and Luna explore how companies like IBM, Google, and startups are shifting from poaching PhDs to building their own pipeline — through internal retraining programs, university partnerships, and even community college curricula. With over 4,000 quantum jobs posted globally in 2025 and only a fraction of qualified graduates, the hosts discuss why a 'talent pipeline' strategy is replacing the old talent wars. They examine concrete examples: IBM's Qiskit certification reaching 50,000 learners, a startup called Quantum Source that retrained classical engineers in six months, and the role of online platforms in democratizing access. The episode closes on whether the bottleneck is hardware or human capital. A must-listen for anyone building a quantum team or investing in the ecosystem. #QuantumComputing #TalentPipeline #QuantumWorkforce #IBM #Google #QuantumSource #Qiskit #Retraining #STEMEducation #BusinessAndTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechTalent #FutureOfWork #QuantumCareers #HardwareVsTalent #CommunityCollege #OnlineLearning Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • How Quantum Computing Is Becoming a Cybersecurity Necessity

    How Quantum Computing Is Becoming a Cybersecurity Necessity
    2026/06/06
    Lucas and Luna explore why the threat of 'harvest now, decrypt later' attacks is turning quantum computing from a theoretical risk into a boardroom priority. They break down the timeline for quantum decryption, the NIST post-quantum cryptography standards finalized in 2024, and how companies like Apple and Signal are already migrating to quantum-safe encryption. The hosts discuss the business implications: the cost of migration, the risk of storing encrypted data today, and why CISOs should care now, not in ten years. They also touch on the emerging market for quantum-safe consulting and the role of hybrid classical-quantum networks. The episode grounds the abstract threat in concrete numbers: the estimated 2030 timeline for breaking RSA-2048, the tens of billions of dollars in potential migration costs for enterprises, and the early movers already future-proofing their systems. A practical takeaway for any business leader managing sensitive data. #QuantumComputing #Cybersecurity #PostQuantumCryptography #HarvestNowDecryptLater #NIST #Encryption #RSA #CISO #DataSecurity #QuantumSafe #Apple #Signal #BusinessAndTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EnterpriseRisk #TechStrategy #FutureOfSecurity Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
