The Quantum Stack WeeklyModular Quantum Leap: LEGOs, 99% Fidelity, and the Pulse of ProgressThis is your The Quantum Stack Weekly podcast.Every so often, the quantum universe delivers a jolt—a shimmering event that raises the hairs on the back of a physicist’s neck. Today, that pulse of progress happened in the sun-warmed labs of the University of Illinois. Imagine quantum processors—those fragile, cryogenic beasts—snapping together and pulling apart with the effortless precision of LEGO bricks. That’s not science fiction; it’s a fully realized modular quantum processor, just published in Nature Electronics, and it’s everything I love about this field: dramatic, elegant, and profoundly grounded in technical i...
