Why this person is here
Built and led the superconducting processor effort behind the 2019 sampling experiment that sparked the still-unsettled debate over what a quantum advantage claim should prove. His later public criticism of how such results get benchmarked is as relevant to readers of a funding tracker as the hardware itself.
