5 questions with Quantum New Mexico Institute Director Bob Ledoux

On Aug. 1, Bob Ledoux took the helm as the Quantum New Mexico Institute's director. He comes to the state from the Washington, D.C., area, where he most recently served as program director for the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy.

Ledoux's appointment comes at a time when the term "quantum" seems to be the new buzzword at the Roundhouse and in the broader tech community in New Mexico. This month, Albuquerque hosted the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Quantum Week. And Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham announced on Tuesday a new partnership with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to accelerate the development, testing and validation of emerging quantum technologies in the state.
