Why IBM's CEO Thinks His Company Can Crack Quantum Computing

This week we’re bringing you an episode of Bold Names, where co-hosts Christopher Mims and Tim Higgins speak to CEOs and business leaders, taking you inside the decisions being made in the C-suite and beyond. In this episode, IBM has made something of a comeback in the past five years under the leadership of CEO Arvind Krishna. That's thanks to a lot of the success in its hybrid cloud business, as well as its consulting services. All of this has led to a surge in the company's share price. Now, IBM is betting that quantum computing will be the next big thing. But will Big Blue succeed against rivals like Microsoft and Google who are racing to make their own quantum breakthroughs? And how is the company learning from its past mistakes with Watson AI? Arvind Krishna joins Christopher and Tim on the Bold Names podcast.
