How Quantum Computers Could Change the World

Ben Bloom is the co-founder and CEO of Atom Computing, a company building quantum computers out of individual atoms. Ben’s problem is this: How do you build a quantum computer that is actually useful for everything from discovering new medicines to building better batteries?
In this episode, Ben explains:
• The practical applications of quantum computers
• Atom Computing’s approach using individual neutral atoms as qubits
• The key engineering challenge of scaling while maintaining accuracy
• The playbook for commercializing quantum computing
