Robert, I really enjoyed how you tied Feynman's deeply human story into the profound mystery at the heart of quantum mechanics. The distinction you drew between simulating quantum systems and reshaping what computation itself means really resonated. One area that intrigues me unexplored here is how quantum error correction might shift not just the hardware but the entire architecture of future algorithms.

From a VC lens, the real test for quantum tech will be commercialization through scalable service models not just selling compute but offering problem-solving as a subscription. The edge comes when quantum services deliver unique value beyond classical solutions, especially in domains like encrypted cloud or pharma modeling. What’s your take will the big leap come from vertical integration or platform style quantum marketplaces?

Thank you for the comment! I think that in the short term its going to have to be vertical integration because the hardware is still unstable. That being said the true inflection point will come when we have universal Quantum computing as a service!

Quantum has the potential to change a lot of things in many sectors. But now, the main challenge is to turn this science into real-world applications. Two European companies are doing it: Quantinuum and IQM

Great points on the effect quantum computing will have on Algos and the need to migrate valuable and sensitive data being warehoused by large entities to meet PQC standards. Nice work Robert👏🏿
