The challenge is directed towards fellow science communicators so that definitely excludes me. But one of my old year thoughts (turned to a new year resolution) for this blog was to...

| One of the most exciting areas of technology development, but that doesn't get a ton of mainstream media coverage, is the race to build a working quantum computer that exhibits "below threshold quantum computing" - the ability to do calculations utilizing quantum mechanics accurately. One of the key limitations to achieving this has been the...
