Take a practical approach to quantum technology, equipping leaders with frameworks, strategies, and tools to act early and stay ahead of disruptionKey Features
  • Develop actionable quantum strategies aligned to business outcomes
  • Build and scale quantum teams, partnerships, and investment plans
  • Implement quantum-safe security and hybrid quantum-AI systems
  • Design governance that aligns executive, technical, and security stakeholders
  • Migrate to post-quantum cryptography without disrupting operations
Book DescriptionPrepare for a computing shift that will reshape security, optimization, and competitive advantage across every industry. This book helps you build a clear actionable approach to quantum readiness covering strategy, technology, talent, and risk in one framework. Written by Robert Loredo, Founder and CEO of Entangled Solutions Group, this book draws on 25 years of experience across IBM, academia, and enterprise innovation. As a former IBM Quantum Global Strategist, leader of the IBM Quantum Ambassador program, and holds over 275 patents, he translates this complex technology transition into decisions leaders can act on immediately. This book is organized as a complete strategic operating system for the quantum transition. Part One equips executives with investment frameworks, governance structures, and talent roadmaps. Part Two guides technical leaders through infrastructure assessment, workforce development, and quantum-era data strategy. Part Three delivers a security playbook covering post-quantum cryptography and adaptive architecture. Part Four maps the full quantum ecosystem and partnerships that will determine which institutions lead commercially. By the end, you’ll be able to define a quantum strategy, build the right capabilities, and lead your organization through quantum-driven change with clarity and control.What you will learn
  • Establish governance structures that align quantum initiatives across your organization
  • Assess and upgrade infrastructure for quantum-AI hybrid integration
  • Execute a phased migration to post-quantum cryptographic standards
  • Evaluate quantum threats specific to your industry and risk profile
  • Understand the full quantum ecosystem from sensing to distributed networking
