Quantum Corridor and Toshiba announced the demonstration of the first cross-state Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) over a live commercial metro fiber network, and I had questions about it. What’s the significance of crossing a state line? What was the real-world use case? What do they mean by “no quantum specialists required”? Why are they targeting QKD in the United States? So, we agreed to hop on a podcast together and get some answers.

In September, IQM announced an over-$300M Series B, which I suspected made the company a unicorn, so I emailed and got confirmation of that. Then on October 7, I published an article titled “IQM’s Unicorn-Smelling Dragon.” One of the responses to the article was to inquire how IQM did it. So, I reached out to Dr. Jan Goetz, CEO and Co-Founder of IQM, and I asked him.
