Before Dr. Ben Bloom takes the main stage at Quantum World Congress 2026, catch up on why neutral atoms are having a moment. In this fireside chat from The Economist Commercialising Quantum, Atom Computing’s CEO & Founder makes the case for how neutral atoms moved from “dark horse” to serious contender — and why scale, connectivity, modularity, and error correction are now putting the modality firmly on the quantum leaderboard. One line that stuck with us: Bloom says the field has gone from systems that were once years behind superconducting qubits to being “neck and neck” — and, in some areas, winning the scaling challenge. At #QWC2026, conversations like this move from theory to ecosystem strategy: hardware roadmaps, supply chains, customers, capital, partnerships, and the race toward utility-scale quantum. 🎥 Watch the full conversation from our friends at Atom Computing → https://lnkd.in/g3KUU5zC → and then join us in #CollegePark September 23-25 to hear more from the leaders building what’s next. #QuantumWorldCongress #QuantumComputing #NeutralAtoms #AtomComputing #QuantumTechnology #QuantumInnovation #WhatsNextStartsNow
Last week at The Economist Commercialising Quantum, Atom Computing CEO & Founder Dr. Ben Bloom joined Jason Palmer for a compelling fireside chat on one of the fastest-evolving frontiers in technology. Their discussion highlighted a pivotal shift: neutral atom quantum computing has moved from “dark horse” status to a leading contender shaping the industry’s future. Ben shared a clear perspective on where the technology stands today, the challenges ahead, and the opportunities that could define the next phase of quantum innovation. For anyone tracking the trajectory of quantum computing, or looking to understand where real momentum is building, this is a concise and insightful overview of Atom Computing’s leading role in the quantum industry. 🎥 Watch the full conversation (under 15 minutes): https://lnkd.in/g3KUU5zC
