A recent experiment at Harvard succeeded at creating 48 logical qubits on a neutral atom platform, and the techniques will be implemented in production systems in the future. We may have 100 logical qubits by 2026! Join… Podcast June 3, 2020 Podcast: Finding Equilibrium in Uncertain Times Most discussions concerning the COVID-19 global pandemic aspire to a path leading to some form of normalcy, a new normal. That pathway is often framed in terms of phases, with each phase leading to an equilibrium of sorts. In other words, the state of equilibrium will be defined differently with each phase. This is Kevin Donahue, senior director with Protiviti, welcoming you to a new edition of… Podcast Transcript June 3, 2020 Transcript | Finding Equilibrium in Uncertain Times Most discussions concerning the COVID-19 global pandemic aspire to a path leading to some form of normalcy, a new normal.
