Beyond the Qubit

• Deep dive interview QuEra CCO Yuval Boger

  “Quantum computers today still can’t outperformclassical systems, and that’s exactly why this moment matters.”That was one of thefirst things Yuval Boger (CCO, QuEra)told me during our deep dive on Beyond theQubit.And it genuinelyreframed how I look at the entire quantum industry.Here’swhat most people miss 👇1. Quantum today isn’tabout solving problems. It’s about preparing for the moment it can.Yuval explained thatwith fewer than ~50 perfect qubits, a supercomputer can simulate everythinganyway.So the currentsystems, noisy, small, early,  are notthe point.What matters is trajectory.QuEra’s mission?➡️ Build quantum computers with hundreds, thousands, andeventually tens of thousands ofhigh-fidelity neutral-atom qubits. Because that’s where classical methodsbreak,  and quantum starts to matter. 2. Neutral atoms don’t just improve quantum computing.They change the rules.Most qubittechnologies are manufactured.Neutral atoms are natural, identical, and stable at room temperature.A few thingssurprised me: This isn’ttheoretical. It’s running today on AWS Braket. 3. One advantage people underrate: MIT +Harvard → QuEraFour founders camefrom MIT and Harvard.Two still contributeweekly.Neutral-atom systemsevolve fast in academia,  beingphysically close lets QuEra commercialize breakthroughs months or even yearsahead of competitors That proximityenables: It’s an unfair advantage, in the best possible way. 4. Yuval’s biggest lesson (and the most transferableone): customer curiosityNot physics.Not algorithms.Not hardware.➡️Customer curiosity.He listens not forwhat customers say today, but for what they’ll need 18 months from now.It’s a mindset thatcontributed to QuEra’s roadmap. #QuantumComputing,#QuantumTechnology #DeepTech, #BeyondTheQubit, #QuEra, #NeutralAtoms#QuantumHardware,#FutureOfComputing, #QuantumAdvantage, #RydbergAtoms, #TechInnovation#ScienceAndTechnology,#FrontierTech, #MIT, #Harvard, #Podcast @Yuval Boger@QuEra https://youtu.be/XEh6PiLnXjchttps://open.spotify.com/episode/1SyBtguc5fqEQe1PivVdrs?si=z0aHKAUrRFSnQddfSal2zQ  📌 Disclaimer: This post is shared on a personal basis and I do notrepresent any company

• QuEra, CCO Yuval BogerNeutral atoms just went from dark horse → workhorse.

  This week on Beyond the Qubit, I sat down with Yuval Boger, CCO of QuEra, and he said something that hit me hard:“Quantum computers today are almost useless… butthat’s exactly why now is the most exciting time.”  Here’swhat I learned 👇1. Neutral atoms might be the first scalable path to real quantum advantageMost qubits aremanufactured.Neutral atoms are perfect by nature.No fabricationdefects.No calibrationbattles.No cryogenic fridgesthe size of a room.A laser tweezertraps each atom.A laser moves itwherever you want.A single laser pulsecan operate on multiple qubits in parallel. This means: It’s wild.2. Customer-first thinking is QuEra’s secret weaponBefore we eventouched physics, Yuval talked about… listening.Not to qubits.To customers.  It’s rare indeep-tech.And it’s exactly whyQuEra builds things people actually use: This is no longeracademic curiosity.3. Why QuEra’s proximity to MIT & Harvard mattersFour founders camefrom Harvard and MIT.Two are still deeply involved.And the labs areliterally a bike ride away.  This creates aflywheel: That speed ofiteration is something other modalities can’t replicate.4. The big picture: error correction & scaleYuval gave a simpleanalogy:If you’re shoutingyour credit card number in the wind,you repeat eachdigit multiple times so it arrives correctly.Logical qubits workthe same way.And neutral atomsallow parallel operations between allphysical qubits in a logical block, something static qubits cannot do.  This dramaticallyaccelerates progress toward error-corrected systems.5. The most important signal?“We’ve moved fromscientific challenges → engineering challenges.”That’s how you knowa technology is about to break out. Transcript summaryQuEra My takeawayNeutral atoms are nolonger the “dark horse.”They’re becoming theworkhorse of quantum computing.And QuEra is notbuilding a B-2 bomber (beautiful but rare).They’re building theAirbus A350 of quantum:usable, scalable,and built for the real world.  If you want tounderstand how quantum will scale fromhundreds to tens of thousands of qubits, this episode is a must-listen.🎙️Episode link: Neutral atoms just went from dark horse →workhorse.

• Part 2 deep dive interview Thomas Ohki

  The future of compute might not get hotter. It mightget colder.In Part 2 of my deep-dive with Thomas Ohki, CTO and co-founder of Emergence Quantum, we explored how cryogenic engineering could reshape everything we know about performance, scaling, andenergy use.Thomas and his teamare building control electronics that can operate close to absolute zero. Thesechips could solve one of the biggest bottlenecks in computing, bringingclassical and quantum systems together.What stood out mostto me in this conversation: 1). Why scalingquantum systems isn’t about adding more qubits, but removing the IO bottleneck2). How energyefficiency is becoming the next competitive frontier in AI and data centers3). Why the nextgeneration of computing might evolve where it’s cold, not hot Thomas put it in away that stuck with me:“Thenext revolution in compute might not be hotter. It might be cold.”#BeyondTheQubit#QuantumComputing #CryoCMOS #AIHardware #DeepTech #EmergenceQuantum #Innovation#Podcast 📌 Disclaimer: This post is shared on a personal basis and I do not represent any company The future of compute might not get hotter.

• Emergence Quantum CTO Thomas Ohki

  Inside Emergence Quantum: Engineering at the Edge ofCold ComputingIn the first part of my deep-dive interview, I sit down with Thomas Ohki, CTO andco-founder of Emergence Quantum.We explored how innovation really happens and why the future of computing might be colder than we think.Most people see quantum as a story about qubits.Thomas explains that the real breakthroughs might come from everything around them: the architecture, the materials, the cooling, the engineering.Before founding Emergence Quantum, Thomas worked at the frontiers of physics at Raytheon BBN and Microsoft Quantum.He brings a rare mix of scientific depth and hands-on engineering.What stood out most to me was his view on building and learning.“If you want to build something truly new, you have to accept that failure is part of the process. The goal isn’t to avoid mistakes, it’s to learn from themfaster than anyone else.”💡 Key insights from Part 1🧊 Cryogenic technology could redefine performance inAI and quantum systems⚙️ Engineering at cryogenic temperatures is essentialfor scaling quantum computers🧠 Innovation depends as much on mindset as onphysics🎧 Listento Beyondthe Qubit – Part 1: Emergence Quantum (Deep Dive)https://youtu.be/mWU-oPYtDSo  #BeyondTheQubit#QuantumComputing #AIHardware #CryoCMOS #DeepTech #EmergenceQuantum #Innovation#Podcast 📌 Disclaimer: This post is shared on a personal basis and I do notrepresent any company
