This informal paper lists a wide variety of key developments in quantum computing which may or may not happen in 2023. Most of the developments are strictly technical, but some are non-technical. Developments on the list are not guaranteed to happen nor even necessarily likely to happen. …

Here’s my wish list for quantum computing for Christmas in 2022. Okay, that’s too tall an order with too little time left, so my wish list is really for the coming year, 2023. It’s a fun list, but it’s also a real list — these are advances that have a…

This informal paper lists a collection of words, terms, and phrases which are indicators for hype in quantum computing. Hype being short for hyperbole, except that true hyperbole is not intended to be taken literally, while hype is passed off as if it were indeed literal truth. Hype is language…

IBM recently published a paper on the future of quantum computing (with superconducting qubits.) Actually, it’s the future of quantum computing (with superconducting qubits) at IBM. It was based in part on information which IBM disclosed when they posted their updated quantum roadmap for 2022 back in May 2022, but…

As I am about to complete five years of immersion in quantum computing, this stage of my quantum journey is coming to an end and I need to start preparing for the next stage of my quantum journey. I have no fixed idea what this next stage will be like…

What do you say when someone asks what a quantum computer or quantum computing is? In 30 seconds or a minute or so. These are my two suggested brief answers — elevator pitches — to the twin questions: What is a quantum computer? What is quantum computing? Also included are…

In order to put quantum computing in context, we need to be able to discuss who is trying to do what and how they are going to do it. Personas are the who, use cases are the what, and access patterns are the how. Personas, use cases, and access patterns…

IBM posted an update to its quantum roadmap for achieving large-scale, practical quantum computing back in May (2022). This informal paper gives my thoughts on this update to their previous roadmap. Since IBM issued their roadmap update in May, I’ve had three months to study and digest it in enough…

This informal paper is designed to provide a brief but meaningful introduction to quantum computing — the process and significance of using quantum computers to address compute-intensive application problems, but without getting bogged down in any of the detailed technical jargon. …
