This is a pretty impressive development in quantum. Neutral Atoms will likely be a cornerstone modality in qc for the foreseeable future. The error correction regime is driving so much advancement. Prof. Preskill's role should also be taken seriously, as he has historically leaned very heavy into academia and not into commercialization. Even JP has gotta get his bag
Their new paper https://arxiv.org/pdf/2603.28627 reduces the number of required qubits to break various cryptography algorithms by more than an order of magnitude.
