Today’s Brief Commentary: This week’s big news is that QuEra finally announced its large funding round.

Congratulations to the…

Today’s Brief Commentary: At the Inside Quantum Technologies Quantum + AI conference in October, I gave the talk “Quantum AI: A Quantum Computing Industry Perspective.” In it, I included the following slide: Now, I was joking, sort of, but this notion of combining the two technologies is not new. While I was at IBM…
Today’s Brief Commentary: Welcome to the first newsletter after I announced the formation of my Sutor Group Intelligence and Advisory company last Friday.

Let me begin with a brief review of my working life. When I was 12, I got a paper route and started mowing lawns. No, that’s going too far back. Here’s the TL;DR version: 39 years, 2 months, and 8 days (14,315 days total) at IBM 2 years (731 days) at ColdQuanta / Infleqtion 11…
Today’s Brief Commentary The word of the day is: Quantum Error Correction (QEC) and Fault Tolerance Okay, maybe that’s longer than one word.

Commentary and a selection of the most important recent news, articles, and papers about AI. Today’s Brief Commentary Two of the links today are related to an IBM survey of software developers regarding the creation of generative AI apps. TLDR: it’s not easy, and the tools aren’t great.

Commentary and a selection of the most important recent news, articles, and papers about Quantum. Today’s Brief Commentary While it sometimes seems that everyone who has heard the term “AI” has started their own Substack newsletter on the topic, we are not quite there with quantum computing.

Commentary and a selection of the most important recent news, articles, and papers about Quantum. Today’s Brief Commentary I’m exhausted from hearing about and discussing the drop in stock prices of quantum companies (and even some that only have “quantum” in their names).

Commentary and a selection of the most important recent news, articles, and papers about Quantum. Today’s Brief Commentary So, maybe quantum computing stocks won’t keep going up forever.

Commentary and a selection of the most important recent news, articles, and papers about AI. Today’s Brief Commentary In my last AI newsletter, I said it would be the last one before the new year. I should have expected that my links buffer would not stay empty for that long. I want to draw your…
Enjoy some “easy listening” this holiday season as Dr. Bob Sutor and I play a game I invented called “trigger word association.” We also talked about caffeine, coffee, his books, and his newsletter, but hey, we played a game too!
