From 'Spooky Action' to Real-World Impact: Making Sense of the Quantum Computing Revolution

​INTRO is excited to host Ella Lachman for a talk demystifying quantum computing. NOTE: The event is in Hebrew.

​What’s real, what’s hype, and what’s actually coming next?

​Drawing on her work as a physicist and R&D engineer, Ella will break down how quantum computers differ from classical systems, covering qubits, superposition, entanglement, and the realities of today’s “noisy” hardware.

​She’ll also step back from the hype to explore the $1.4B market, emerging applications, and a grounded timeline for the next 5–20 years.

​Ella Lachman is a Senior Quantum Materials R&D Engineer at Rigetti Computing, working on superconducting qubits for next-generation quantum computers. She holds a Ph.D. in Condensed Matter Physics from the Weizmann Institute of Science and was a postdoctoral researcher at Quantum Materials Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley. As a former COO and Deputy Scientific Director at Little, Big Science, she is passionate about making complex physics accessible.
