Exploratory papers and technical essays

Long-form writing where I study emerging technologies deeply enough to explain tradeoffs, architectures, and open questions. Some are drafts, some are still notes — none of them pretend to be done.

Quantum Computing Architectures: Beyond Two Qubit Types

Quantum Computing

Expands the original neutral-atom vs superconducting comparison to include trapped ions and photonic qubits, and argues why architecture choice matters more than qubit count.
