IBM’s Advantage Narrative: Computation or Coercion? Three new entries have appeared on IBM’s ‘quantum advantage tracker,’ each touted as a technical triumph in proving nascent quantum machines can outpace classical computers where direct Read More
The Extended Photon and Its Fragmented Reflection A photon, the fundamental quantum of light, isn’t merely a tiny bullet of energy. It’s an extended object, a wave packet without a single, discrete location Read More
Google’s latest quantum computing announcement, lauded by some as a subtle but critical step forward, is less a triumph of quantum physics and more a sophisticated act of engineering jujutsu – using software to sidestep Read More
The Unseen Chasm in QuEra’s Quantum Roadmap Over 10,000 individual qubits, each with an error rate low enough to support hundreds of error-corrected logical qubits, by 2028. This is the audacious future QuEra, a quantum computing Read More
The Quantum Paradox: Narrative Versus Reality The industry’s carefully curated drumbeat of “incremental progress” in quantum computing is starting to sound less like a march forward and more like a holding pattern. Companies from Read More
The Quantum Tightrope: Building Beyond the Brittle It’s been a long road, hasn’t it? Decades of promises, a Cambrian explosion of physics papers, and a parade of well-funded startups, all chasing the same Read More
The Quantum Conundrum: When Building a Computer Isn’t Enough I’ve watched quantum computing for two decades now. Longer, if you count the theoretical musings that predated the actual lab work. And every time Read More
The Relentless Pursuit of a Usable Qubit There’s a persistent, almost philosophical problem at the heart of quantum computing, one that I’ve watched brilliant minds wrestle with for decades: how do you get Read More
The Quantum Conundrum: Too Few, Too Fickle For more than a decade, I’ve watched the quantum computing narrative ebb and flow. We’ve seen the breathless headlines about breakthroughs, followed by the quiet reality Read More
The Quantum Conundrum: More Hype, Fewer Qubits I’ve been writing about computing for a long time. Long enough to remember when ‘neural networks’ were a research curiosity, not the bedrock of multi-trillion-dollar companies. So Read More
