Infleqtion CEO Matt Kinsella joins Thinking on Paper to explain neutral atom quantum computing, quantum clocks, and why the future of computing may depend on synchronisation as much as raw processing power.

The conversation moves from GPS spoofing and UK submarine navigation to Nvidia’s hybrid quantum AI stack, quantum sensing, edge computing, quantum error correction, and the growing race to build commercially useful quantum systems.Please enjoy the show.
