💥 Quantonation is releasing a new White Paper: Neutral Atoms, The Stunning Rise of Quantum Computing’s Dark Horse This report, authored by Dylan Barry, offers a comprehensive analysis of the field’s trajectory and potential, drawing on insights from world-class leaders, including Prof. alain aspect, Prof. Mark Saffman, Prof. Antoine Browaeys, Prof. Immanuel Bloch, Prof. Thierry Lahaye, Prof. Julien Laurat, and Prof. Jean Dalibard. ⬇️ Key Insights Scalability: Optical tweezers enable precise manipulation of neutral atoms, allowing for rapid expansion in qubit numbers while maintaining coherence. Companies like Pasqal, QuEra, and Infleqtion are now pushing towards 1,000+ qubit systems. Competitive Advantages: Neutral atoms offer long coherence times and all-to-all connectivity, making them a powerful alternative to superconducting and trapped-ion approaches. Advances in laser control and error correction are further strengthening the platform. Challenges and Next Steps: Industrializing this technology requires progress in laser stability, vacuum systems, and system integration, but the pace of development is accelerating.   🔬 The Rise of Neutral Atom Quantum Computing At Quantonation, we have long believed in the potential of neutral atom quantum computing, backing pioneers such as Pasqal and WeLinQ. This technology is now proving its relevance beyond research, with concrete milestones that highlight its rapid progress toward large-scale implementations. In the words of Alain Aspect, "The rise of neutral atom quantum computing over the last decade-and-a-half has been nothing short of remarkable—and it shows no sign of slowing down." Neutral atom quantum computing has rapidly evolved from a niche research field to a leading paradigm in the race toward practical quantum computing.   📄 The full report is available here: https://lnkd.in/e-ZdqpwF Christophe Jurczak Olivier Tonneau William Zeng Eléonore de Rose Joseph Maillard Emily Meads Raphael Bodin Yu-Hsin W.
