  • https://buff.ly/6pTYUqv Commercialising Quantum-as-a-Service: What to Know As quantum computing matures into a business-critical service model, the contract layer becomes foundational to delivering value and managing risk. Drawing on the recent article from Inside Global Tech, here are three practical considerations — and how QuEra’s offering fits in. 1. Hardware & Service-Layer Transparency • Quantum-as-a-Service (QaaS) involves novel hardware stacks (e.g., neutral-atom arrays, Rydberg interactions) that differ fundamentally from classical IaaS/SaaS models.  • For customers: Ensure contracts clearly define the hardware baseline (qubit count, architecture), service provider responsibilities (maintenance, availability) and upgrade/fallback paths. • For providers: Establish clear definitions of service scope, performance tolerances and responsibilities so risk is shared and transparent. 2. Error Behaviour & Service-Level Expectations • Quantum systems remain more error-prone than classical infrastructure, so “error-free” service guarantees typical in SaaS are unsuitable.  • For customers: Look for measurable commitments (error-rate thresholds, success rates) rather than broad promises. • For providers: Define realistic error-behaviour baselines, monitoring & mitigation mechanisms, and align SLA/credit constructs with the state of the technology. 3. Data, Outputs & Lifecycle Management • With quantum services, consideration must extend beyond compute time to how results, intermediate states, and data are managed.  • For customers: Incorporate terms for output access, audit/record-keeping, algorithm/portability rights, retention and migration. • For providers: Clearly articulate what the service supports (storage of states, instrumentation, migration at termination) and how lifecycle transitions are handled. QuEra Premium Access At QuEra, we built our Premium Access offering to reflect precisely these commercial realities. Our 256-qubit neutral-atom system (the Aquila platform) is accessible via a secure connection with direct support from our scientific & engineering team, business-class SLAs, tailored training and collaboration on problem formulation.  This service model is designed for organisations — HPC centers, government labs, enterprise innovation groups — who require not only cutting-edge quantum hardware but also predictable service structure, aligned contracting and partner-level support. #QuantumComputing #QuantumAsAService #QaaS #NeutralAtomQuantumComputing #QuEraComputing #QuantumCommercialisation #HPC #GovernmentInnovation #QuantumInfrastructure #EnterpriseQuantum

  • When quantum computers start to learn, the rules of machine learning change. Machine learning has become deeply intertwined with human life, and any advances in the field are likely to yield broad socioeconomic benefits. In this work, Google AI’s team, in collaboration with Caltech and Purdue University, demonstrates groundbreaking advances in generative quantum machine learning. They succeed in striking a balance between algorithmic complexity (to go beyond easy classical simulability) and simplicity (to avoid trainability issues that often plague quantum machine learning methodologies), showcasing the capacity of quantum computers to learn beyond classical probability distributions. The methodology also enables the generation of efficient quantum circuits for improved simulation of physical problems. While questions remain about how sampling algorithms such as this will interplay with the overhead of error correction, this result represents a milestone in the promise of quantum machine learning and near-term quantum algorithms.

  • Q2B25 Paris | State of the Qubit Panel 🧭 The State of the Qubit — Insights from Q2B Paris At Q2B Paris, QuEra’s Chief Commercial Officer Yuval Boger joined a distinguished panel with Loïc Henriet (CEO, Pasqal) and Théau Perronin (CEO, Alice & Bob) to explore the evolving landscape of quantum hardware — moderated by Jean-François Moulier of BCG X. Three leading approaches took center stage: https://buff.ly/6VRiMwC ⚛️ Neutral Atoms (QuEra and others) are rapidly proving their scalability and versatility.QuEra showcased progress toward fault-tolerant systems, highlighting recent Nature papers that demonstrated the first logical qubits on neutral atoms and introduced algorithmic fault-tolerance methods that drastically reduce time to solution.Pasqal emphasized near-term applications using analog quantum processors for optimization and quantum simulation, while working toward fully digital, error-corrected systems. 🐈 Superconducting Cat Qubits (Alice & Bob) presented their cat-qubit architecture — qubits designed from the ground up with intrinsic error protection. This approach reduces the overhead for quantum error correction, but is not suitable for near-term "NISQ" devices. Shared themes across modalities:The industry is moving from scientific prototypes to engineering-grade systems.Scaling, reliability, and supply-chain maturity are now central to progress.Logical qubits are expected well before 2030 — marking quantum’s transition from “one day” to “day one.” #Q2BParis #QuantumComputing #NeutralAtoms #CatQubits #FaultTolerance #LogicalQubits #QuEra

  • 🎧 Blending HPC & Quantum: Podcast Picks for Practitioners When you’re commuting, traveling between conferences, or just looking to escape slides, podcasts offer a powerful way to stay sharp. We highlight several shows that bridge HPC and quantum computing — providing both market insight and operational detail. https://buff.ly/UcUBuFM These shows are especially valuable because they cut across the market signal / noise boundary — helping listeners discern plausible integration paths, deployment tradeoffs, and realistic timelines. 👉 If you’re in HPC management, quantum engineering, or vendor strategy, tuning into these voices can sharpen your understanding of where the field really is — beyond the hype. #QuantumComputing #HPC #HybridSystems #TechPodcast #DeepTech #QuantumStrategy #Innovation #ScienceMeetsEngineering

  • 🎥 “Talk is Cheap”: From Quantum Hype to Quantum Delivery At the recent Quantum World Conference, our Chief Commercial Officer shared how QuEra is building not just quantum computers, but quantum systems that work — today. 👉 Watch the full recording here: https://buff.ly/zuzLQct He walked through what we see as the three practical stages of quantum progress — a vendor-independent framework to separate talk from traction: 1. Foundational capabilities: stable, accurate, adaptive qubits 2. Error correction: logical qubits that outperform physical ones 3. Quantum advantage: scalable, production-grade, deployable systems At QuEra, we’ve checked many of these boxes already — from running 256-qubit neutral atom systems on AWS Braket (nearing its third birthday 🎂) to demonstrating logical operations and magic-state distillation on deployed systems in Japan. We’re also collaborating globally — from Los Alamos and NERSC to pharma and finance — and expanding with partners like NVIDIA to explore the intersection of AI and quantum computing. Our goal? To build the “777 of quantum computing” — powerful, reliable, and accessible — not a billion-dollar prototype that never leaves the lab. Would love to hear: 💡 How do you evaluate “real progress” in quantum today? 💬 Which milestones matter most to you — qubit count, fidelity, or deployment? #QuantumComputing #NeutralAtoms #QWC2025 #HPC #QuantumCommercialization #QuEra #QuantumEcosystem

  • 🎶 Lasers, atoms, and dance moves — together at last. To make the coldest things in the universe, you need… lasers. Lots of them. And apparently, a few solid dance steps. In this Dance Your PhD video, physicist Arfor Houwman from the University of Innsbruck turns the process of laser cooling and Bose–Einstein condensation into a full-blown music video. It’s quite rigorous, musically catchy, and an oddly effective way to explain how ultracold atoms become the building blocks of quantum technology. At QuEra, we appreciate when complex physics takes center stage — sometimes literally. 🎥 Watch “Lasers, Lasers, Lasers!” 🧊 Based on the PhD of Arfor Houwman, Dipolar Quantum Gases Group, University of Innsbruck 💃 Part of Dance Your PhD, organized by Science Magazine https://lnkd.in/gKx77f9V

  • Marie Taglioni didn’t just dance a new role—she and her choreographer-father co-designed a new movement language. At the Paris Opéra in 1832, La Sylphide was built around Taglioni’s extreme lightness and early pointe technique. Steps, phrasing, and the now-iconic Romantic tutu were shaped to amplify her weightless line and ethereal presence, aligning choreography, costume, and stagecraft with a specific performer’s strengths. Audience taste and opera management reinforced the brief—an airborne heroine, a supernatural plot, and long, floating silhouettes. What looks like style was really spec-driven design: star capability turned into a template that defined Romantic ballet. At QuEra, application co-design is our core approach. Through a structured program, your team partners with QuEra experts across science, applications, and hardware to define the problem, build the solution, and iterate. The process leverages neutral-atom strengths—advanced qubit control, high-precision shuttling, multi-qubit operations, dynamic reconfiguration—so architectures match workload needs. With early simulations and priority hardware access, projects move faster from proof-of-concept to deployed value.

  • Excited to share new research in which QuEra collaborated with National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) / Berkeley Lab “Probing emergent prethermal dynamics and resonant melting on a programmable quantum simulator” explores the frontiers of non-equilibrium quantum many-body physics. In experiments on Aquila, our large-scale neutral-atom system, the team identifies stable prethermal regimes, resonance-induced melting of those regimes, and a 2D dynamical phase transition without an equilibrium counterpart. For quantum-simulation users and HPC centers, this research shows that neutral-atom platforms are now enabling systematic exploration of far-from-equilibrium quantum dynamics at a scale and fidelity not previously accessible. From a commercialization viewpoint, the fact that the hardware (via QuEra) is delivering direct experimental physics insight strengthens the utility case for neutral-atom quantum technologies.
