Quantum CEOs Get Real About Hype, Hope, and Hardware at Austin's Quantonation Day
Recorded live at Austin's Quantonation Day this past September, I sat down with senior leaders from Strangeworks, Qunnect, Pasqal, and Tau Systems to discuss the state of quantum and physics tech. This candid panel went beyond the typical quantum computing conversation to face the market realities of building a business in the space. We explored the tension between the possible future this technology brings and immediate needs of customers today.

- Introduction to Quantum and Physics Tech
