Episode 282 — Quantum Is Coming. And Ireland Is Already In It.Everyone is shouting about AI.Very few people are paying attention to what comes next.Quantum computing is not about doing things faster.It is about doing things that were previously impossible.Finding new drugs in days, not decades.Optimising energy grids, logistics, traffic and supply chains that defeat today’s supercomputers.Re-engineering AI itself so it stops burning the planet for compute.On Episode 282 of That Great Business Show, Conall Ó Móráin sits down with Jason Lynch, CEO of Equal1 — the Irish quantum computing company that has just raised $60 million, led by Ireland’s sovereign wealth fund, to build enterprise-grade quantum computers using standard silicon chip fabs.No sci-fi. No hype.Just real hardware, real money, real timelines.We talk:• Why quantum makes AI look like the warm-up act• Why 50 qubits beats every computer on Earth combined• Why data centres won’t need to melt rivers to run quantum• Why pharma, banking, energy and defence are already preparing• Why Ireland has a once-only window to lead — and could miss itThis is a five-years-out story hiding in plain sight.Brought to you by De Facto Shaving Oil — made in Mayo, no foam, no nonsense, no landfill-bound cans.They back us.
