This episode analyzes the execution bottleneck in enterprise quantum computing. Mykola Myksymenko of Haiqu argues that the missing software stack, not just hardware maturity, determines whether current systems can produce useful outcomes. The conversation focuses on noise, middleware, hybrid workflows, and why early experimentation may matter strategically even before broad production utility exists.
