Seventy quantum hardware startups could fail without hurting sector vitality
“There are too many organizations out there, and I can confidently say 70 of them could go belly up in the next two years, and it ultimately wouldn't affect the overall vitality of the sector, because the smart ones will rise to the top, and the ones that perha…”

Quantum computing offers scientific explainability and reproducibility currently lacking in AI
“It, it's, it, a large language model and its training and inference phases are completely opaque. You can't say, why did you give me this solution versus this one? And if I just change a variable slightly, what will be the outcome? Non-reproducible results, no…”

Quantum simulates materials directly from physics without requiring large training datasets
“Quantum is much more science-based in some sense. It doesn't require a huge corpus of information to reach its conclusions. It's based more on the physics and the science of what it means to how a material interacts. So without data, AI is basically just Kind …”

Quantum qubit scaling follows a near-exponential trajectory
“So if you look at What's happening in the sector, it is not a linear progression. In many cases, it is a near exponential kind of capability. So this idea of moving from 10 to a hundred to a thousand cubits is, it's going to happen faster than if you were just…”

Quantum provides massive performance gains for a narrow set of applications
“The key to quantum is incredible performance gains on a narrow class of applications, but some of those applications are really critical to a lot of industrial sectors, commercial sectors, and governments, and just about everybody, so it's more of an accelerat…”

Quantum advantage over classical systems is three to four years away
“As quantum computing capability follows the trajectory that most people believe it's on, we're about three to four years away from the rolling out of systems that will be able to have performance gains that will lead any scientist or engineer or researcher to …”
