Beyond the Qubit
QuEra, CCO Yuval BogerNeutral atoms just went from dark horse → workhorse.
08 Dec 2025
This week on Beyond the Qubit, I sat down with Yuval Boger, CCO of QuEra, and he said something that hit me hard:“Quantum computers today are almost useless… butthat’s exactly why now is the most exciting time.” Here’swhat I learned 👇1. Neutral atoms might be the first scalable path to real quantum advantageMost qubits aremanufactured.Neutral atoms are perfect by nature.No fabricationdefects.No calibrationbattles.No cryogenic fridgesthe size of a room.A laser tweezertraps each atom.A laser moves itwherever you want.A single laser pulsecan operate on multiple qubits in parallel. This means: It’s wild.2. Customer-first thinking is QuEra’s secret weaponBefore we eventouched physics, Yuval talked about… listening.Not to qubits.To customers. It’s rare indeep-tech.And it’s exactly whyQuEra builds things people actually use: This is no longeracademic curiosity.3. Why QuEra’s proximity to MIT & Harvard mattersFour founders camefrom Harvard and MIT.Two are still deeply involved.And the labs areliterally a bike ride away. This creates aflywheel: That speed ofiteration is something other modalities can’t replicate.4. The big picture: error correction & scaleYuval gave a simpleanalogy:If you’re shoutingyour credit card number in the wind,you repeat eachdigit multiple times so it arrives correctly.Logical qubits workthe same way.And neutral atomsallow parallel operations between allphysical qubits in a logical block, something static qubits cannot do. This dramaticallyaccelerates progress toward error-corrected systems.5. The most important signal?“We’ve moved fromscientific challenges → engineering challenges.”That’s how you knowa technology is about to break out. Transcript summaryQuEra My takeawayNeutral atoms are nolonger the “dark horse.”They’re becoming theworkhorse of quantum computing.And QuEra is notbuilding a B-2 bomber (beautiful but rare).They’re building theAirbus A350 of quantum:usable, scalable,and built for the real world. If you want tounderstand how quantum will scale fromhundreds to tens of thousands of qubits, this episode is a must-listen.🎙️Episode link: Neutral atoms just went from dark horse →workhorse.
