Ep 2: IBM Tells Washington It's Thinking Too Small on Quantum

About this episode

The White House holds its first Summit on Quantum Innovation today, and IBM lands a report the same morning warning governments not to think too narrowly about quantum. Plus: fusion reactor chemistry on a quantum computer, 2,000 individually controlled Rydberg atoms, an error-correction fix on IBM's Heron chip, an IQM acquisition with a twist, and a South Korea funding number that got exaggerated online.
