🚨 Patent Alert! 🚨 Progress in technology rarely comes from a single breakthrough. More often, it's a series of small, compounding improvements that turn an idea from experimental to inevitable. That's what makes this patent so interesting. It tackles a deceptively small problem—crosstalk in acousto-optic modulators—but in quantum computing, small problems aren't just nuisances. They're the difference between a system that scales and one that doesn't. Crosstalk introduces noise, noise reduces fidelity, and reduced fidelity limits the number of useful qubits. Fixing this isn't just about making things a little better—it's about making quantum computing viable at scale. One of the inventors, Michael Lurie Goldman, works for IonQ. That matters because IonQ isn't just building quantum computers; they're figuring out how to make them work reliably. The companies that win in quantum won't be the ones with the flashiest demos. They'll be the ones that systematically eliminate the barriers to scaling. And patents like this are how you do it. The history of technology is filled with examples of people underestimating what seem like minor engineering refinements. But real progress is often invisible at first. The big leaps usually start as small steps—steps that, years later, look obvious in hindsight. 🔗
