Dorit Dor, Co-Founder of Qbeat Ventures
In this episode, Dorit Dor, former Check Point C‑level executive and co‑founder of Qubit Ventures, discusses how quantum startups can apply lessons from cybersecurity—particularly the importance of a clear go‑to‑market strategy, focus on specific problems, and adherence to standards. She explains Qubit Ventures' investment thesis, targeting all layers of the quantum stack across multiple hardware modalities, with a short‑term focus on hardware and validation and a long‑term view on applications and services. Dorit also shares insights on the Israeli quantum ecosystem, the portfolio companies she backs, and her cautious stance on public market routes like SPACs.
Skeptic Mathematician Gil Kalai From Reichman University and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem
In this episode, mathematician Gil Kalai discusses his skeptical view that large‑scale quantum computers are unlikely to succeed because of fundamental noise and error‑correction limits. He outlines two lines of theoretical work: one proposing correlated noise that would thwart fault...
