Quantum's biggest economic impact may arrive outside the quantum computer. A camera normally produces an image. The photons hit a detector, become electrons, and eventually turn into pixels arranged for human eyes. But a machine does not always need the picture. Sometimes it only needs the answer. Is
This week I wanted to understand what $55 million in federal Tech Hub funding actually buys. Kate Timmerman had the answer, and it isn't more research. Kate is CEO of the Chicago Quantum Exchange, which she grew from three founding institutions to a coalition of more than 50
First, apologies for not being as productive with posts as I'd planned – I will be working on that. Second, big news, my book, The New Quantum Era, is out! It's been a long road, but a very gratifying one, and the visceral experience of holding my

This week's podcast episode features a stimulating conversation about the philosophical questions posed by quantum information science and technology and how they defy the usual stereotypes about the esoterica, abstract nature of philosophy.

The uncertainties faced in this very early stage of the quantum technology industry offers few clear answers to questions about when useful applications will emerge or even what those applications will be. What is required is an outlook that can navigate a path with scant guidance.
In spring of 2024, I was invited to attend the ribbon cutting of an IBM System One on the campus of Renssellaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York and of course I said yes. Over the course of the event I was graciously provided the campus radio studio to record

30 talks given at the centennial celebration of quantum mechanics on Helgoland are now on YouTube — and there's a documentary coming too.
As a Fellow at the Unitary Foundation, I'm kicking off my effort to help the quantum community define a standard to ease the integration pains the industry is experiencing.
Iceberg Quantum launched with a theoretical result that turned heads: cracking RSA-2048 with 100,000 physical qubits.
