What went down
We hosted Bert de Jong from Berkeley Lab for a fireside chat on quantum computing, moderated by our VP of Academics Dayeon Kang. The session got past the hype and into what the technology can actually do today, where its strengths and weaknesses are, and how fast the field is moving. The takeaway that stuck with me is that this is not a distant-future technology. With meaningful progress expected in the next three to five years, quantum is worth understanding now rather than later. Thanks to Bert for the time and the candor.
