Quantum's 100,000x Gap to Real Science — September 15, 2026
Episode 69
Published 3 weeks, 1 day ago
Description
A new cross-vendor benchmark called QUOPS gives quantum computing its first apples-to-apples yardstick for progress — and finds current machines need roughly a hundred-thousand-fold performance jump to reach useful scientific work. Plus: NVIDIA's CUDA-Q Logical platform expansion, IonQ's haul at IEEE Quantum Week, and a proposed $500M Canadian chip fab.
