Ever thought time, life or technology was passing you by? In the field of quantum technology, the pace is well, quantum. Forecasting ‘when quantum’ is impossible particularly when multiple facets are improving simultaneously. Hardware, software, talent, services.

As humans we incorporate both intelligence and emotion into our forecasts. Failed promises in the past skew our view. Hyped progress gets many excited about the possibilities. Technology winters remind us that promise does not always equal progress. Yet we persist.
