Summary
What if the path to a million-qubit processor doesn't run through silicon defects or massive wire bundles, but through single electrons floating a few nanometers above a film of superfluid helium? Nick Farina, co-founder and CEO of EeroQ, joins Sebastian to explain why his team bet a decade on the only commercial electron-on-helium quantum computing platform — and what their recent results, including a new *Nature Physics* paper demonstrating strong coupling between a microwave photon and a single electron on helium, suggest about scaling, coherence, and the "wire problem."
