Why this person is here
Coined the term NISQ to name the noisy intermediate-scale era, giving the field an honest vocabulary for machines that are useful before they are fault-tolerant. His long-running lecture notes and public arguments about error-correction thresholds have shaped how researchers judge whether a claimed milestone is meaningful.
