That discovery made quantum computing possible. This year, Trump formed a science advisory council. Zuckerberg, Sergey Brin, Jensen Huang. Martinis is the only scientist in the room. Marina met him in Davos in January — weeks after Google published a paper saying quantum computers could crack Bitcoin encryption in nine minutes. He explained which Bitcoin is already vulnerable, why the entire internet needs to switch encryption protocols in the next five to ten years, and why betting on hardware right now is the same move Nvidia made with GPUs before anyone knew what they were for.

🧾 EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Silicon Valley Girl, featuring Marina Mogilko and John Martinis, Nobel Prize Winner: Nobody Sees What's Coming After AI explores quantum computing’s near-term impact on hardware, crypto, and careers John Martinis explains how demonstrating macroscopic quantum tunneling in electrical circuits helped turn quantum mechanics from microscopic theory into machine-building reality, enabling today’s qubit-based quantum computing push.
