"Quantum is where AI was five years ago." — Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet That line lands differently in August 2026. The field is shifting from lab demos to early industrial utility: 🔸Error correction is working at scale. Google's 105‑qubit Willow chip showed logical error rates drop as systems grow—hardware evidence that fault‑tolerant scaling behaves as theory predicted. 🔸Real workloads are running. An IBM–Cleveland Clinic–RIKEN team modeled a 12,635‑atom protein complex using two quantum systems paired with classical supercomputers (May 2026). 🔸Commercial momentum is visible. D‑Wave reported >$33M in Q1 2026 bookings (up 2,000% YoY); McKinsey's 2026 monitor calls this a "commercial tipping point," with 300+ companies moving from pilots to embedded workflows. 🔸Infrastructure, not just qubits, is the race. Buyers are prioritizing fidelity, coherence, and hybrid on‑prem/cloud deployments; 46% expect on‑prem within three years. What this means for leaders: 1️⃣ Treat quantum as a strategic option now—build literacy, map use cases, and prepare for hybrid human‑centric computing. 2️⃣ Focus on reliability metrics (gate fidelity, circuit depth) over raw qubit counts. 3️⃣ Watch chemistry, materials and quantitative finance—the sectors producing pilots that survive CFO scrutiny. The "ChatGPT moment" for quantum could be ~5 years out, but it's not guaranteed. The signal for 2026 is clear: progress is real, timelines are uncertain and the window to prepare is open. #QuantumComputing #AI #TechStrategy #Innovation #PostQuantum #QubitRnD QubitRnD https://lnkd.in/gQp7bbpm

Canada's strengths put it in a unique position when it comes to the coming wave of physical AI, but it will need new capital offerings to make sure it can fully realize its potential.

It seems that some senior google executives quit their jobs to do a startup around the AI science lab idea I had floated. The difference, though, is that Open Dossier is open source science -- lightning quick research, with ever increasing scope and accuracy, DOI citable, timestamped, and lightning fast publication on GitHub. The open source nature of Open Dossier, makes it the future -- a guaranteed winner, given China's push for open source LLMs, there is no winning against dirt cheap, as Amazon well knows. I have had a couple of Chinese head hunters reach out already. I am intrigued, because China already has the energy, the efficient LLM experience, and the EUV fab prototype, along with the willingness to try bleeding edge projects at scale. The US has a need to replace skilled knowledge workers with AI at scale, as soon as possible, moving into skilled labor with labs and automated factories -- but how to do the latter without owning the rare earth mineral chain is the biggest question mark. Preventing global war would require the US to secure its own manufacturing base, thus, this is the highest priority national security issue here at home. How will such a future affect society and social structure? Does it necessitate socialist structures, to maintain stability? These are likely the biggest ideas we have to face. When doctors are replaced by robots, even before nurses, will healthcare costs plummet? Will enshitification survive automation, or can we move beyond it? Will humans survive the removal of mundane mental tasks? All interesting questions. But, for now, shall we build the first AI research lab, in a fully closed loop? If you are interested in the project, feel free to reach out. https://lnkd.in/g39Mc4g3

Session 2: Practical Workflows, Tooling and Benchmarking Your company is curious about quantum AI. Where do you begin? Moving from interest to experimentation requires a practical starting point: tools people can use, a process they can understand, and a way to assess whether the results offer value. That’s the focus of Session 2 at our Cascade Quantum and Electron Networks workshop at IEEE Quantum Week: Practical Workflows, Tooling, and Benchmarking. The session features Dr. Yuri Alexeev of NVIDIA, followed by a quantum machine learning demonstration from Cascade Quantum. We see accessible software as an important part of opening this field to more companies. Giving teams a way to explore quantum AI can help them ask better questions about their own problems, the capabilities they need, and whether further investment makes sense. The goal is to make informed exploration more achievable. For an SME with limited time and resources, that starting point matters. If your organization is wondering what working with quantum AI could look like, join us for a closer look. Friday, September 18 |1-2:30 p.m. EDT | Toronto Part of our one-day Democratizing Quantum AI workshop.

Google Just Took Quantum Computing Another Step Forward. Google’s Willow quantum chip has achieved something that sounds almost impossible: A computation completed in about 5 minutes that Google says would take a leading classical supercomputer roughly 10 septillion years to perform. That’s an incomprehensibly large gap. But the real breakthrough may be bigger than the headline number. Google says Willow demonstrates meaningful progress in quantum error correction, one of the biggest challenges standing between today’s quantum processors and practical, large-scale quantum computers. If the technology continues progressing as expected, useful quantum computing could become a reality within the next 5–10 years. And the potential applications are enormous: 🔐 Cryptography and cybersecurity 🧬 Drug and materials discovery ⚡ Energy optimization 🤖 AI and machine learning 🌎 Complex scientific simulations Quantum computing won’t replace classical computers overnight. Instead, it could become a completely new computational layer for problems that are fundamentally difficult for today’s machines. The future of computing may not be faster computers. It may be fundamentally different computers. I'm focused on helping businesses take advantage of the technologies shaping that future, from AI agents and automation to custom AI-powered software. 📞 Want to explore what AI can do for your business today?

Google just broke reality. Google's Willow quantum chip solved a problem in 5 minutes that would take the world's fastest classical supercomputer 10 septillion years. Yes, you read that right. That's more time than the universe has existed, multiplied by a quadrillion. Sundar Pichai, Google's CEO, confirmed this shows quantum error correction already works at scale. Practically useful quantum computers could arrive in 5 to 10 years. The future isn't coming. It's already here.

Quantum AI is opening new possibilities. How do we make sure more companies can take part? Friday Sept 18, 2026 - Cascade Quantum and Electron Networks are partnering on a one-day workshop at IEEE Quantum Week in Toronto: Democratizing Quantum AI: Practical Workflows, Benchmarks, and Hybrid Development for Quantum-Ready Applications. We believe hybrid quantum AI, combining quantum computing with classical AI approaches—could become an important early pathway to commercial value from quantum computing. There is still much to test and demonstrate, but that makes this a valuable time for companies to begin exploring and asking questions. For us, democratizing quantum AI means giving organizations of all sizes a meaningful opportunity to participate. Small and medium-sized businesses need access to tools and expertise, opportunities to explore potential benefits, and a voice in how these technologies develop. Our workshop brings those questions together across three sessions: • Session 1: From Research to Real-World Opportunity • Session 2: Practical Workflows, Tooling and Benchmarking • Session 3: Democratization, Access, and Industry Readiness I’m particularly looking forward to moderating our final session with Dr. Shohini Ghose, Dr. Kristen Csenkey, and Dr. Sonika Johri, connecting perspectives on science, governance, security, and commercial development. If your organization has been curious about quantum computing, AI, or where the two might meet, we’d welcome you to the conversation. Bring your questions, your experience, and your perspective on what would make this technology useful to you.
