By Dick Weisinger

The collection and commodification of personal data by big tech companies and used to make a profit is known as ‘surveillance capitalism‘. It’s a term that was first coined in the book “The Age of Surveillance Capitalism” by Harvard Business…

Quantum Networks: Using Entanglement to Create Unhackable Communication

By Dick Weisinger

Quantum Computing is not just about building lightening-fast qubit-based computer processors, it includes the transmission of qubit information between other quantum processors and across quantum networks. Quantum networking is facilitated by a phenomenon called entanglement. Entanglement occurs when the state…

Quantum Computing: Nanophotonics Emerges as Darkhorse Quantum Candidate

By Dick Weisinger

There are currently three roads to building a quantum computer. Google and IBM are betting on an approach that relies on superconducting qubits and quantum calculations. A second approach is to use trapped ion qubits which are more stable than…

API Evolution: Advantages of GraphQL APIs in Data-Centric Applications

By Dick Weisinger

There is an architectural debate happening now on the pros and cons of two competing API technologies: REST and GraphQL. REST APIs superseded older APIs for querying servers like CORBA and SOAP. Those older technologies were very complex and difficult…
