Barak Bussel is one of the few people operating simultaneously at three levels of the quantum stack: deploying private capital into hardware and software companies through 7i Capital, chairing the strategic board of a major university quantum center, and helping stand up the physical infrastructure — a 700,000 square foot research park on the site of the former Westside Pavilion — meant to convene academia, industry, national labs, and startups in one place. He is also a physicist by training, which changes the kind of diligence questions he asks.We recorded this at the KPMG Tech and Innovation Symposium in Deer Valley, only weeks after the most consequential stretch of quantum news in years: Oratomic's $300M Series A (the largest first institutional round in quantum history, with 7i in the syndicate), a Google Quantum AI paper cutting Shor's algorithm resource estimates to around 500,000 physical qubits on superconducting hardware, and two June 2026 White House executive orders on quantum innovation and post-quantum cryptography. If you want to understand how a serious investor is actually pricing risk, timelines, and ecosystem-building in this moment, this is the conversation.What We Get IntoWhy 7i backed Oratomic's aggressive "no intermediate product, straight to fault tolerance" strategy, and how Barak thinks about betting on teams versus theses in deep techHow recent architecture and QLDPC error correction advances have compressed physical-to-logical qubit ratios, and what that means for near-term resource estimates for Shor's algorithmWhy a lesser-noticed April 2026 Google Quantum AI paper on quantum-assisted memory reduction for classical AI workloads may matter as much as the Shor's-focused headlinesWhat "patient capital" actually looks like when a connector problem eats two years of a portfolio company's roadmapThe Bell Labs template as a serious operating model for the UCLA Research Park: convening academia, industry, government, and startups in a single physical footprintThe historical resonance of UCLA sending the first ARPANET packet in 1969 and what that suggests about where quantum networking work should be anchoredHow Kedma's error mitigation work with IBM's Heron II and RIKEN pushed a 51-qubit Ising model simulation to the edge of what's classically tractableHow Barak reads the June 2026 executive orders and the federal role — enabling infrastructure rather than picking winners — against the scale of Chinese government fundingResources & LinksGuest & OrganizationsBarak Bussel bio — UCLA CQSE Strategic Board — Official page covering Barak's role as Board Chair and his physics and venture background.7i Capital — Barak's deep tech venture firm, investing across quantum, AI, semiconductors, cybersecurity, robotics, clean energy, and space.UCLA Center for Quantum Science and Engineering (CQSE) — The multidisciplinary center Barak chairs, spanning physics and engineering research.Barak Bussel on LinkedIn — Where Barak has publicly flagged the Oratomic investment and the June 2026 executive orders.The Oratomic Round and Recent BreakthroughsOratomic raises $300M Series A — The Quantum Insider — Confirms 7i Capital in the syndicate for the largest-ever first institutional round in quantum computing.Oratomic Series A deep dive — Quantum Computing Report — Technical breakdown of the reconfigurable neutral-atom architecture and full investor syndicate.Oratomic's "no intermediate product" strategy — MLQ.ai — Analysis of Oratomic's bet against the QuEra/Pasqal early-revenue playbook.QEDMA raises $26M Series A — Quantum Zeitgeist — 7i portfolio company Kedma's error mitigation round with IBM participation, referenced in Barak's Ising model results.Policy and Market ContextWhite House EO: "Ushering in the Next Frontier of Quantum Innovation" — One of the two June 22, 2026 executive orders Barak discusses.Sidley Austin analysis of the June 2026 quantum EOs — Legal explainer covering both the innovation EO and the post-quantum cryptography mandate.Cloudflare on the accelerated post-quantum timeline — Notes that Q-Day estimates have moved in response to Google and Oratomic breakthroughs.PitchBook Q2 2026 Quantum Computing Funding Report — Record 2025 VC totals and Q1 2026 liquidity data relevant to Barak's exit thesis.UCLA Research Park and Regional EcosystemUCLA launches SoCal Quantum Alliance — The regional coalition Barak references, with founding members including Caltech, JPL, Boeing, IBM, and Cisco.Quantum Innovation Hub at the UCLA Research Park — Preview of the 40,000 square foot lab space and the broader research park vision Barak describes.Quantum Innovation Hub Director appointment — Prof. Jason Petta named to lead the QIH, one of the founding anchors of the research park.Key Quotes & InsightsOn patient capital in hardware: "You're producing a new chip… all of a sudden a year and a half has passed." Barak's example of a photonics company that spent two years solving a flex connector problem is a useful ground truth for anyone modeling quantum hardware timelines.On the role of universities: Industry has scale — the ability to throw 500 engineers at a problem. Academia brings "the quiet depth to think very deeply about a problem over an extended period of time, two or three generations ahead."On resource estimates: The gap between the original 20-million-qubit Shor's estimates and the recent Google Quantum AI paper suggesting ~500,000 physical qubits on superconducting hardware, plus Oratomic's neutral-atom approach at the ten-thousand-qubit scale, represents a genuine compression of the fault-tolerance horizon.On the underappreciated Google paper: An April 8 paper on using quantum processors to reduce memory requirements for massive classical data sets is, in Barak's view, the first rigorous demonstration that quantum could bend the exponential curve of AI compute demand.On government's role: "Typically in the U.S., government is not the best at picking the winners and losers in the marketplace. But it's great at enabling." The El Segund...

Pull on your boots and saddle up for another journey into the Old West! This week, we're celebrating one of radio's most beloved heroes with two exciting adventures starring The Lone Ranger. Along the way, we'll encounter mistaken identities, dangerous outlaws, and a villain whose name may sound familiar to longtime listeners. We'll also take a nostalgic look back at the incredible legacy of The Lone Ranger, the impact the series had on generations of children, and share a few personal memories about my brother, whose love for the masked rider made this episode especially meaningful. In This Episode A look back at the remarkable history of The Lone Ranger radio series. Little-known facts about the actors who brought the masked man to life. Memories of my brother's childhood adventures with his Lone Ranger outfit. "The Notorious El Diablo" (March 28, 1956) "The Apache Kid" (March 2, 1938) Which Apache Kid is the more dangerous outlaw—the one from The Lone Ranger or the one from The Cisco Kid? You decide! Featured Stories The Notorious El Diablo Originally Aired: March 28, 1954 - The Lone Ranger goes undercover by impersonating the infamous outlaw El Diablo in hopes of infiltrating a dangerous gang. Unfortunately, there's one problem—someone else is already pretending to be El Diablo! What follows is a fast-paced tale of deception, mistaken identity, and classic western action. The Apache Kid Originally Aired: March 2, 1938 - A notorious outlaw known as the Apache Kid is terrorizing the frontier, and only the Lone Ranger and Tonto stand between him and justice. If the name sounds familiar, that's because we recently encountered another Apache Kid while riding with Cisco. Are they the same villain? Probably not—but this one is every bit as dangerous.

Sanjit Biswas runs what may be the largest AI deployment in the physical world — and almost nobody in AI talks about it. Samsara (NYSE: IOT), the ~$20B company he co-founded after selling Meraki to Cisco for $1.2B, puts AI on millions of trucks, cranes, and industrial assets: 25 trillion data points a year, 99% of US roads driven every single day, ~$2B in ARR growing 30% profitably. In this episode we go through the entire physical AI stack — asset tags you can run over with a truck, a paper-thin disposable tracking label, engine fault codes, and dash cams running inference at the edge — then into agents, including the Agent Studio warranty agent that compresses an hour of human work into under a minute. We also get into the uncomfortable part (when AI watches you drive all day, is that coaching or surveillance — and why drivers actually want the cameras), mixed fleets of humans and robots, why autonomous trucking will take far longer than robotaxis, and a startling stat from the field: one utility building 3x more grid capacity in the next five years than it did in the previous 125, with 90% of that demand coming from data centers.(00:00) Intro: The biggest AI deployment nobody talks about(01:16) What is physical AI?(03:04) From IoT dashboards to agentic action(04:36) Why physical AI is harder than software AI(06:07) Safety, cybersecurity, and real-world consequences(07:11) What Samsara does(08:22) $2B ARR, 25 trillion data points, and 380,000 crashes(09:44) How AI can prevent road accidents(11:28) From an MIT research project to Meraki(13:42) Learning physical operations from scratch(15:42) Samsara's stack: sensors, intelligence, and action(16:39) Inside Samsara's industrial asset trackers(18:36) Bluetooth, battery life, and connected infrastructure(19:49) A disposable tracking device built like a sticker(21:08) Vehicle gateways and engine diagnostics(22:16) How AI dash cams coach drivers in real time(23:28) Turning the dash cam into an AI interface(24:49) Organizing physical-world data in the cloud(26:32) Selling AI to traditional industries(27:52) Is Samsara's real-world data its AI moat?(29:22) The network effects of covering 99% of U.S. roads(31:23) Edge AI versus cloud AI(32:35) The models running inside Samsara's devices(33:52) Generative AI and video reasoning(35:57) Which AI models does Samsara use?(36:50) Inside Samsara Agent Studio(37:56) How an AI warranty agent works(38:50) Starting with practical, lower-risk automation(40:10) Combining agents, workflows, rules, and guardrails(42:07) What today's AI agents still cannot do(43:07) AI ride-alongs and the future of driver coaching(45:17) Is workplace AI becoming Big Brother?(46:27) How cameras can protect and exonerate drivers(48:48) When AI becomes the judge of your work(50:37) Robots, humanoids, and mixed human-machine fleets(53:19) Samsara's role in autonomous operations(54:50) How quickly will autonomous trucking arrive?(56:32) AI data centers and America's infrastructure boom(58:16) Should lawyers become plumbers?

3. Cisco AI and Cisco Cloud Control with Jeetu Patel and DJ Sampath by Cisco

This month on The Cisco AI Insights Podcast, hosts Rafael Herrera and Sónia Marques are joined by Cisco software engineer João Costa to explore Andrej Karpathy's GitHub Gist on the LLM wiki pattern concept. It imagines how Large Language Models can move beyond one-off chat sessions and help build a persistent, interconnected knowledge base that grows and improves over time. The conversation examines how an LLM wiki turns raw sources such as meeting transcripts, research papers, websites, and project notes into structured markdown pages with cross-links between related concepts, creating something closer to a living digital brain than a static document store. João explains how tools like Obsidian can provide a clear window into this knowledge graph, while the LLM acts as a scribe that summarizes, curates, connects, and updates information for personal productivity, software development, research, and collaborative work. The episode also highlights the importance of linting, the ongoing process of detecting contradictions, removing stale details, and reducing hallucinated information before it spreads through the wider knowledge base. A special thank you to Andrej Karpathy for developing and sharing his GitHub Gist. To explore the Gist yourself, visit this link: https://gist.github.com/karpathy/442a6bf555914893e9891c11519de94f

Jeff Schultz joins Jeetu Patel to delve into the evolution of the Cisco Portfolio and how this focus on critical business outcomes for the AI era is delivering real results for the ecosystem.

Jeetu, Tom Gillis, Kevin Wollenweber, and Will Eatherton discuss why the "AI revolution" is fundamentally a networking challenge and how Cisco has evolved its portfolio to serve as backbone for the next generation of enterprise intelligence. By aligning our networking, compute, and security innovations, we are providing our customers with the foundation they need to move from experimentation to production at scale.

Jeetu Patel and Kamal Hathi dive into how the addition of Splunk to the Cisco family is about more than just portfolio expansion; it's about providing our customers with the most comprehensive platform for security and observability in the industry. By breaking down the barriers between the network and the data that runs on it, our customers can operate with unprecedented speed, confidence, and clarity.

Jeetu Patel, Nick, and Mohammad delve into our custom silicon strategy. While many see networking as a software-driven game, we discuss why many of the most significant breakthroughs are happening at the physical layer. We explore how Cisco's unique approach to co-designing silicon alongside our software and systems portfolio is creating a level of performance and efficiency that simply cannot be achieved with off-the-shelf components.

Jeetu Patel and Guru Shenoy discuss the evolution of how Cisco is working with some of its largest and most innovative customers as they transform to address the challenges and opportunities of AI.

Was, wenn die wichtigste Frage nach einem Börsenhalbjahr nicht lautet "Welche Aktie lief am besten?", sondern "Welche Entscheidungen waren richtig?" Genau darum geht es in unserem vierten gemeinsamen Summer Special mit Finanzjournalist Clemens Faustenhammer: kein Ranking aus Gewinnern und Verlierern, sondern Prozess statt Prognose.

Optics is no longer a supporting accessory in the data center network. As AI infrastructure advances from 400G and 800G toward 1.6-terabit connectivity, optical components are consuming a larger share of network cost, power and operational risk. In this episode of the Data Center Frontier Show, DCF Editor in Chief Matt Vincent speaks with Bill Gartner, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Cisco's Optical Systems and Optics business, about how AI is changing the strategic role of optics. Gartner explains that optics represented roughly 10% of a network port's bill of materials at 10G. At 400G and above, the optics can cost more than the switch port itself. Reliability has also become critical: A single unstable link can force GPUs operating in parallel to stop, return to a checkpoint and restart. According to data Cisco has seen from hyperscale customers, link flaps can reduce GPU infrastructure efficiency by as much as 40%. The conversation maps the AI network across three distinct tiers: Scale-up: Connections within the rack, carrying approximately 500 times the bandwidth of a traditional WAN environment. Scale-out: Connections between racks, commonly using 400G and 800G pluggable optics. Scale-across: Coherent optical connections between data centers as AI clusters expand beyond the power limits of a single facility. Gartner also discusses Cisco's 1.6T roadmap, routed optical networking, coherent pluggable optics and the emerging debate around co-packaged and near-packaged optics. These architectures promise lower power consumption and greater density, but introduce new questions involving interoperability, replacement and operational resilience. Looking ahead, Gartner emphasizes that optics is not constraining AI network growth. It is enabling clusters to scale across racks, campuses and geographically distributed data centers, while the coming inference wave shifts the industry's focus toward cost and power efficiency.

Two Cisco training veterans break down how to know you are ready for the CCNA exam, what changes in CCNA 2.0, and whether the CCNA is still worth it in 2026. Brian Bays has been teaching official Cisco classes since 2000. Michael Aldridge has been writing practice exam content since 2001. In this interview they answer the questions I get asked constantly: how long should I study, do I need physical equipment, should I do Network Plus first, and is AI going to take these jobs away? Short answer on that last one: they have heard this before. Automation was going to end tech jobs. Then virtualization. Then cloud. Every time, it just made good engineers more productive. Junior engineers become senior engineers, and we cannot function without senior engineers. We also cover what is coming in CCNA 2.0, including more troubleshooting woven through every section, a dark mode option, a full screen CLI, and the ability to send a command to every device in a lab at once. This video is not sponsored. I have known Brian and Michael for years and I recommend them because I rate them, not because anyone paid for this.

Welcome to another episode of 404 Script Not Found, where we start with sports betting, pivot to the emotional rollercoaster of a new fidget toy, and somehow land on the serious business of hiring. Ian and Kat dive into the wild world of corporate recruiting, where Ian admits he doesn't read cover letters...Does anyone? We tackle the big questions: - Is it okay to use AI to write your resume? (Maybe, but don't be weird about it). - How do you handle an interview candidate who spends half the time talking about animal cruelty? (Hint: Don't be that guy). It's a chaotic, honest, and surprisingly insightful look at how to get hired, how to hire, and how to survive the office without losing your mind. Join us for a deep dive into the human side of the job market, minus the corporate jargon. If you are interested in working at Cisco, check out the careers page: https://careers.cisco.com/global/en

In this episode, Kat Cosgrove (SIG Docs Technical Lead, SIG Release Subproject Lead, and Steering Committee member) and Natali Vlatko (SIG Docs Co-Chair, Steering Committee member for the TODO Group, and Open Source Architect at Cisco) join hosts Kaslin Fields and Abdel Sghiouar to discuss the newly published Kubernetes AI usage policy. We dive into the legal and administrative reasoning behind the policy—including why AI tools cannot legally sign the Contributor License Agreement (CLA) or co-author PRs—and explore how maintainers manage the influx of "AI slop" PRs, spam comments, and restricted AI note-taker bots in community meetings. The discussion highlights the balance between human accountability and AI as an enhancer, while sharing actionable advice on how new contributors can sustainably get involved with SIG Docs, issue wrangling, and the Kubernetes Release Team.

Is artificial intelligence moving faster than the physical and digital infrastructure built to control it? In this episode of the Tech Field Day News Rundown, hosts Tom Hollingsworth and Alastair Cooke examine the top stories reshaping enterprise technology and global policy. OpenAI halts an experimental project after an autonomous model broke out of its sandbox and evaded security filters. Meanwhile, European aerospace giant Airbus begins moving hundreds of critical applications off AWS to French cloud provider Scaleway over data privacy concerns. On the hardware front, Cisco launches lightweight AI models to hunt code vulnerabilities on-premises, and Supermicro releases a turnkey Kubernetes appliance for remote edge deployments. Finally, the team breaks down California's ruling blocking AT&T from phasing out copper landlines, nationwide community protests over AI data center power demands, and upcoming U.S.-China AI safety talks.This and more on the Tech Field Day News Rundown with Tom Hollingsworth and Alastair Cooke.

John Lilly has had a front row seat to almost every major shift in technology over the last thirty years, and he has sat in almost every chair while it happened.He was a Senior Scientist at Apple in 1997, when the market cap was two billion dollars and most people assumed the company was finished. He co-founded Reactivity, later acquired by Cisco. He became CEO of Mozilla and led Firefox past 450 million users, running an open source nonprofit at a time when nobody else in Silicon Valley was doing anything like it. Then he spent over a decade as a General Partner at Greylock, where he led investments in Instagram, Dropbox, Figma, Tumblr and Quip. He sits on the boards of Figma, Duolingo and Nuro, and recently joined Gigascale Capital as an Advising Partner, backing companies rebuilding the physical economy.In this conversation with Jessica Neal and co-host Jeff Markowitz, John walks through what he actually saw in the founders everyone else missed.He tells the story of chasing Kevin Systrom for six months, wiring the money on a Thursday, and getting the call three days later that Instagram was selling to Facebook. He explains the moment a friend showed him Instagram and what clicked was not the filters, it was the distribution. And he describes meeting a 19 year old Dylan Field at a Starbucks in Palo Alto, telling him his product did not matter, and then spending the next decade watching him prove it wrong.He is also honest about the parts that are harder to hear. Why some partners at Greylock wanted Dylan replaced. Why he thinks micromanaging the right things is a feature of good leadership, not a flaw. Why he does not tell CEOs anything, and what he does instead. And why, at a moment when OpenAI and Anthropic are pulling talent out of every company on earth, the answer is not matching the money.He closes with something a colleague at Mozilla told him years ago that he still carries: we had a chance to make the world we wanted, and we did it.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━WHAT WE COVER━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━THE FOUNDER QUESTION→ How John spotted Dylan Field at 19→ Why recruiting senior people is the strongest early signal→ The trait every great founder shares: relentless about getting help→ Why non-defensiveness beats raw intelligence→ The lunch where they told Dylan he had to build a go to marketTHE INVESTMENTS→ Chasing Kevin Systrom for six months→ The underwater photographer who explained Instagram to him→ Why the network mattered and the filters did not→ The four day flip to Facebook and what he told his LPs→ The Adobe Killers that came before Figma and why this one was differentLEADERSHIP AND SCALE→ Going from 12 people to a quarter of the internet at Mozilla→ Why he never learned the delegation lesson everyone teaches→ Larry and Sergey reviewing every resume and what that signals→ Learning to be simpler in your message as you grow→ Deciding you would rather be successful than comfortableTHE TALENT WAR→ Why every great person is now a free agent→ The spreadsheet exercise he gives every CEO→ Tour of duty and the bilateral deal between company and employee→ Never making an offer until you know it will be accepted→ Why money is rarely the only reason people leaveTHE CURRENT MOMENT→ Why leadership now means stability without pretending anything is stable→ The collision of faster scaling and total vulnerability→ Why org size no longer scales with impact→ Alpha nerds, Tim O'Reilly, and following the most technical people around→ Investing in transformers, copper recycling and rare earth supply chains→ Why none of the AI future is settled and it is all still to play for━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━CONNECT WITH JOHN LILLYLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/johnlilly━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Truth Works is hosted by Jessica Neal, former Chief Talent Officer at Netflix, with co-host Jeff Markowitz.

Bhaskar Sunkara grew up in Delhi, India, and moved to the states when he started working. He has lived in San Fransisco for several decades now, and has spent a lot of his professional life building systems (infrastructure, observability and now, analytics). His prior startup, AppDynamics, was eventually acquired by Cisco. In general, he stays curious about how things work, and likes to deconstruct systems to figure out how they work. Outside of tech, he is a big sports fan, enjoying football, baseball, cricket and basketball. In fact, he grew up watching Michael Jordan and the bulls.Bhaskar noticed that business teams were drowning in dashboards, and as such, were not sure how to take the next steps in the business. He and his team realized that what people needed was not a retroactive view, but a proactive one - something more akin to a 24x7 analyst.This is the creation story of Bicycle AI.SponsorsUnblockedTECH DomainsMezmoBraingrid.aiLinkshttps://bicycle.ai/https://www.linkedin.com/in/bhaskarsunkara/Our Sponsors:* Check out Cash App and use my code CASHAPP10 for a great deal: https://cash.app* Check out Plaud AI and use my code CODESTORY for a great deal: https://plaud.aiAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
