Quick Recap
IBM doubles down on its 1000 qubit promise for 2023. Google unveils its plans for a commercial scale available machine by 2029. This adds to the PsiQuantum plans we already showed here as well as Honeywell and Fujitsu’s plans. The Goldman Sachs preditions for 5 years to have advantage in financial applications could be truer and truer! Equal1 announces new processor getting us closer to slighltly warmed QPUs and IDQ announces their next generation QKD device.
The Quote of the Week

The Summary of the Week
How traders might exploit quantum computing
If you had a sports almanac from the future as did Biff Tannen, the brutish bully of the time-travelling Back to the Future movie trilogy, how might you be inclined to take advantage of the foresight buried within it?
