Any questions for Congressman Sam Liccardo (former mayor of San Jose)? I’m front and center at his town hall tonight.

His district includes the coast to Silicon Valley: Pacifica, Half Moon Bay, Atherton, Menlo Park, Palo Alto, San Jose, etc.

Gov. Gavin Newsom endorsed Rep. Liccardo’s opponent in the election.

At the town hall I went to last week, Rep. Liccardo called quantum computing a top issue and said it could be “a couple years” away.

The timeline sounded so ambitious I assumed he misspoke… until I saw this post today.

How is quantum being talked about in your corner of the U.S.? Is it?

Building a little space by the ocean. More information at /thenextwave coming soon.

We'll continue to make progress, but quantum computing is a bit like flying cars, we have the all theoretical physics of how it would work, we just don't know how to make, manufacture, and operate one reliably & economically. Even 'easier' leaves on the tech tree, like photonic computing, have been a long time coming.
