Surveying the California Quantum Ecosystem

By Doug Finke

I attended the third convening of a Quantum California event last week at the University of California, San Diego. Two previous convenings were held: one at the University of California, Berkeley in November 2025 and the other at the University of California, Santa Barbara in March of this year. We have been following the quantum scene in California since May of 2016, starting with our article titled Northern versus Southern California – Who’s More Quantum? While some elements of that original article may be out of date, a lot still holds true.
