In August 2026, Rajiv Shah presented on Day 2 of the Tech in Gov expo in Canberra, speaking on “Preparing your systems for quantum computing: what it is and why it will change everything.” The session focused on cutting through the hype to offer practical, actionable guidance — including a reminder that giving an organisation […]

Deeper analysis
The biggest myth about quantum computing is that general purpose quantum computers are imminent (or even already here). The truth is there is a big scientific and engineering gap to bridge. This is not to say we won’t get there, but it will take time!

Myth busters
Quantum computing has potential for new types of computations. Discussions seem to involve mysterious “qubits”, “entanglement” and more. Quantum physics can sound pretty weird, even if we don’t really see this in everyday life. However, in the same way you don’t need to be an expert in semiconductor band gaps to use a transistor-based computer, you shouldn’t actually need a PhD in quantum physics to start thinking about the risks and opportunities that quantum computing can offer.

The good news is that you don’t need a PhD in physics to start thinking quantum technology. We can broadly it into four categories – randomness, sensing, communication and computers
