Rigetti: Algorithmic understanding will become quantum computing's primary bottleneck
“And over the next few years, the quantum hardware that we're building is getting better at such a fast rate that we're reaching this point where the bottleneck is going to be understanding the best algorithms to run on those machines to get the most value out …”
Building quantum computing hardware is not a game for early-stage startups
“First of all, I think that the big hardware game is absolutely not startup. The people that have got the resources to be able to attack this problem are, by definition, the big guys.”
Preskill: Quantum hardware is far from converging on a single winning approach
“There are a number of different approaches to Building hardware, and nobody really knows which is going to be the best. We haven't, I think we're far from collapsing to one approach, which everybody agrees has the best long-term prospects for scalability.”
