Qubits, or quantum bits, are the fundamental units of information in quantum computing, capable of existing in multiple states simultaneously due to superposition. This unique property allows qubits to perform complex calculations much faster than classical bits, which are limited to binary states of 0 or 1.

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: 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 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 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…
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. Today’s Brief Commentary Ahead of my talk at Q2B Silicon Valley on December 12 and an Analyst Insight article for The Futurum Group, I’ve been looking at companies around the world who claim to be creating quantum processing units (QPUs)….
Commentary and a selection of the most important recent news, articles, and papers about Quantum. Today’s Brief Commentary We’ve entered the end-of-year quantum lull period, though we are between the SC24 conference last week and the Q2B Silicon Valley conference during the second week of December. In the United States, the Thanksgiving holiday is Thursday,…
Commentary and a selection of the most important recent news, articles, and papers about Quantum. Today’s Brief Commentary The Supercomputing SC24 conference is this week in Atlanta, so many quantum computing vendors used the occasion to make announcements. That’s why the Quantum Computing section in this newsletter is longer than usual. The superconducting modality is…
Commentary and a selection of the most important recent news, articles, and papers about Quantum. Today’s Brief Commentary IBM had a lot of news this week on the occasion of their first Quantum Developer Conference held at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York. The lab is about 35 miles…
Commentary and a selection of the most important recent news, articles, and papers about Quantum. Today’s Brief Commentary Today’s links are primarily about quantum computing, with a couple of others thrown in about a quantum game and quantum networking. Start paying attention to the Imec company for quantum-related technology. It shows up twice in the…
Commentary and a selection of the most important recent news, articles, and papers about Quantum. Today’s Brief Commentary There is so much going on across quantum technologies these days that I’ve had to use new categories for computing, networking, and sensing, both general and technical. This is a good thing, and I hope the sections…
