Neutral atom quantum computers are raising billions. Here is what health systems and pharma boards are not being told about what they can actually do.
The Rydberg blockade switches atom interactions from millihertz to hundreds of megahertz with a laser pulse. 11-12 orders of magnitude. That is the gate. That is the whole trick.
Gate fidelity is now in the mid-four-nines range with theoretical headroom to five nines. All the remaining gap is engineering: laser noise, atom temperature, stray fields. The physics has room left.
Three real buckets for healthcare: quantum chemistry for metalloenzymes (2030s), post-quantum cryptography migration (urgent now, nobody is doing it), and quantum sensing for wearable brain and heart imaging (nearest term). Everything else being pitched is the data loading problem in a suit.
