The Week in Quantum Computing - 2021 in Retrospect SPECIAL

Issue #69 - Special 2021!

Quick Recap

What a 2021. We had everything. Promises delivered, promises not delivered, amazing videos, conversations on ethics, tardigrades entangled…

In this special edition we will have a quick summary of what (I believe) have been some of the most notable or relevant news of the year! Join me in this trip around the world of Quantum. I have included both the links I believe were more useful, as well as the most clicked articles in this newsletter (so basically, using the crowd to decide!). Some of the articles below may have not aged well, and that is the point. So take them with a pinch of salt. At the end of the day, do you rememember when everyone said practical QC was 50 years away and how now the industry is coalescing between 2 to 5 years?

What will 2022 have for us? Quantum Advantage? M&As? Quantum Unicorns? More SPACs? No matter what, I’m grateful for having you as subscribers to this humble newsletter. During 2021 I had the chance of meeting some of you in person, so hopefully in 2022 we can reconnect and meet some more!
