Deep & Emerging TechThe Quantum Kid: Peter Shor, Steven Chu & John Preskill Explain Quantum – So You Can Finally Understand It
When Shor, Chu, and Preskill are fronting an accessibility push, it’s a signal that quantum is moving from pure research to a talent and ecosystem build-out phase. If you own long-horizon infra or security, this is a good moment to seed a few people who actually understand the primitives, not just the buzzwords.
