Quantum computing faces a critical shortage of helium-3, a rare isotope used to cool superconducting quantum computers. Interlune CEO Rob Meyerson joins Bloomberg to explain the company’s plan to extract helium-3 from commercial supplies on Earth today and eventually harvest it from the Moon to support the next generation of quantum technology. He joins Ed Ludlow on “Bloomberg Tech.”

🙄 The “quantum computing industry” is nothing but vacuous hype. There’s barely any use case except government espionage.

Space is not real we live in a dome underwater that can’t be broken

Valar Atomics uses helium to cool their nuclear reactors so multiple buyers of helium.
