How much energy does a quantum algorithm actually cost? PQI researchers traced it for Rydberg atoms: 0.662 mJ per run. 99% of energy goes to optical traps, not computation. Quantum advantage over classical kicks in around 39 qubits. buff.ly/n1e8bkC

MITRE researchers ran the largest Fermi-Hubbard ground state calculation on quantum hardware: 56 qubits on QuEra's Aquila. Rydberg sampling beat random sampling even at 10x fewer shots. buff.ly/ImdGPjA

Atom loss = ~40% of errors in neutral-atom QC. Our new paper introduces "Pauli Envelope" decoding: 40% higher thresholds in sim, improved Lambda on real data. Started as a summer intern project. buff.ly/9L2tH50
