Today’s Brief Commentary: This week, I am Brooklyn-bound, and I’ll be hosting a panel on Thursday at the Forma Prime Demo Day as part of NYC Deep Tech Week hosted by Hyperstition. The panel is called “The Unadorned Truth about the State of Quantum Computing,” and I’ll be joined by Dr. Olivia Lanes of IBM…
Today’s Brief Commentary: Today, we have two links to recent videocasts with me, three regarding post-quantum cryptography, and two for quantum computing. Each of the latter two categories includes variations of quantum hype. The first, from WIRED, is of the flavor “quantum computing is going to demolish classical security, and there will be an apocalypse.”…
Today’s Brief Commentary: I’m pushing this newsletter out on a Sunday because two big industry events are coming up this week. The first is the NVIDIA GTC AI conference in San Jose, California. It runs from Monday the 17st through Friday the 21st. Of note at the GTC are the Quantum Day Conference Sessions on…
Today’s Brief Commentary: Most of the links today concern financial news regarding earnings announcements of public quantum computing companies or funding of private companies. IonQ and Rigetti Computing have already announced their Q4 and Fiscal Year 2024 results, and I link to my analysis of each. D-Wave announces this week. There’s also some news about…
What Happened? On Wednesday, March 5, 2025, superconducting quantum computing company Rigetti Computing announced its financial results for the Q4 2024 quarter and 2024 fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. See its press release for the full details. The Numbers Let’s begin by looking at the quarterly results: Rigetti Computing GAAP Quarterly Financial Results Q4…
Today’s Brief Commentary: It was a busy week in the quantum realm, with IonQ releasing Q4 2024 and FY 2024 earnings and getting a new CEO, and Amazon Web Services/ CalTech announcing a cat qubit prototype quantum processing unit. I really, really like that they called it a prototype. “Here, look what we did. It’s…
Today’s Brief Commentary: If you haven’t seen it, my commentary about quantum computing vendors and the trust they must nurture among the public, customers, and users is available on Substack. This is looking to be a busy week for quantum computing, and it is only Wednesday morning as I write this. IonQ announces earnings after…
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. Nevertheless, we appear to be gaining at least…
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…

I don’t do roundups of the year’s most significant news and articles because I want to get on with 2025. I will leave those for others. Keep your hype…
Commentary and a selection of the most important recent news, articles, and papers about Quantum. Today’s Brief Commentary Someone once said to me, and I paraphrase, “Beware of giving analogies when speaking about quantum computing. They will eventually go wrong, especially when comparing concepts to classical phenomena.” Many of us who write and speak about…
Commentary and a selection of the most important recent news, articles, and papers about Quantum. Today’s Brief Commentary Plastic glass. Jumbo shrimp. Open secret. These are all examples of oxymorons, phrases whose first halves seem to be the opposite of the second. I read another one over the weekend: Quantum computing classical hardware. To be…
Today’s Brief Commentary I’m writing this on the afternoon of December 10, the first full day of Q2B Silicon Valley in Santa Clara. Today’s news links have a few items from last week, more world leadership, which I have highlighted, and important news from Infleqtion/NVIDIA and Google. Infleqtion has now demonstrated logical qubits via NVIDIA’s…
Commentary and a selection of the most important recent news, articles, and papers about Quantum. Today’s Brief Commentary This is my last round-up of news and articles about quantum technologies before the Q2B Silicon Valley conference in Santa Clara, California, next week, December 10–12. Several companies, including Equal1 and Alice & Bob, squeezed in announcements…
Commentary and a selection of the most important recent news, articles, and papers about Quantum.
