Quantum computing leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to process information in ways that classical computers cannot, using quantum bits (qubits) that can represent and manipulate data in multiple states simultaneously. This allows quantum computers to solve certain complex problems much faster than traditional computers, potentially revolutionizing fields like cryptography, optimization, and material science.
Today’s Brief Commentary: Today, I am directing my remarks toward quantum computing companies, particularly small ones. Many of your websites need work. Here are a few suggestions: Be explicit about your quantum computing modality and paradigm. For example: “We implement the digital paradigm using neutral atom qubits.” Say you support specific quantum software development kit…
Today’s Brief Commentary: I’m in catch-up mode after traveling to Riyadh last week for the LEAP / DeepFest 2025 event. I want to thank the organizers for a truly first-class experience from start to finish. The links below include the YouTube video of my Quantum and AI DeepFest panel and an article I wrote for…
Today’s Brief Commentary: This week’s big news is that QuEra finally announced its large funding round. They telegraphed this last year by letting people know that Google had given them “a boatload of cash.” Okay, I made that quote up, but the final amount of $230 M from all investors is impressive. Congratulations to the…
Today’s Brief Commentary: I’m writing this at the tail end of my trip to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to speak at the huge (> 100,000 people) LEAP / DeepFest 2025 event. It’s been a busy week, and yesterday, I was on the panel “Quantum Leap: The Intersection of Quantum Computing and AI.” Areiel Wolanow moderated, with…
What Happened? On Tuesday, February 4, 2025, AMD announced its financial results for the Q4 2024 quarter and 2024 fiscal year ending December 28, 2024. See its press release for the full details. The Numbers AMD had a strong quarter, with GAAP sequential quarter revenue up 12.3% and year-to-year up 24.2%. GAAP Diluted Earnings Per…
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 The word of the day is: Quantum Error Correction (QEC) and Fault Tolerance Okay, maybe that’s longer than one word. The more I dug into the latest quantum news and articles, the more QEC kept coming up. Let’s look at the question, “How should we change our approach to QEC when we…
Commentary and a selection of the most important recent news, articles, and papers about Quantum. Today’s Brief Commentary This last week has been the first of 2025 when the stock prices for public quantum companies have not dominated discussions. That topic is not going away, but we are beginning to see more announcements of solid…
Commentary and a selection of the most important recent news, articles, and papers about Quantum. Today’s Brief Commentary No commentary today, just an announcement. Together with Lawrence Gasman, I’ll be putting together the program for the next Inside Quantum Technology Q+AI conference in New York City from October 20 to 22. That’s a while from…
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 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). Here is my net: these quantum computing stocks were driven up to…
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. Recent comments from Jim Cramer and Jensen Huang have taken the shine off the huge recent increases. It appears that each believes Practical Quantum Advantage is many…
Commentary and a selection of the most important recent news, articles, and papers about Quantum. Today’s Brief Commentary This is my last quantum newsletter for 2024, and I’m anxious to get going with 2025. This year had many highlights but was marred by extra hype and public misunderstandings in the last several weeks. I don’t…
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…
Commentary and a selection of the most important recent news, articles, and papers about AI. Today’s Brief Commentary I spent this last week at the Q2B conference in Santa Clara, California, so my mind has focused more on quantum technologies than AI. That’s my excuse for playing catch-up on AI topics in this newsletter edition….
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.
