Our new paper shows what we think is the best path to commercially-relevant fault tolerant quantum computing: every component (qubit, cryocmos controller, superconducting interconnect) made in a semiconductor fab and fit in a single commercial cryostat.

@Noahpinion Surprised they missed Einstein.

@SnazzyLabs It's especially poetic that there are randomly two different dates. "1896!!!! ... also 1847?"

An actual hero.

This is what America First looks like when it’s a lived ethos, rather than a mask for narcissism and ambition.

If you believe anything remotely resembling this pace of progress is likely to continue, things are going to get weird really fast.
