What separates a quantum-computing roadmap from a result people can use? In this July 2026 Vergecast conversation, science journalist Sophia Chen discusses hardware constraints, proposed applications and the claims driving attention around the field. The interview format provides a change of pace from laboratory tours and technical lectures. Company deadlines and political targets discussed in the episode are forecasts from that reporting period, not guaranteed delivery dates. Watch for the questions being asked of the evidence, then use current reporting to follow what changes.
