In search of better work–life balance, @spendier.bsky.social gave up her job as a tenured physics professor and looked for jobs in industry. The transition required repackaging her skills. She now runs @xprize.org’s competition in quantum applications. #whatcanphysicistsdo
#Quantum computing is moving from theoretical promise toward more evidence-driven, quantitatively grounded pathways — and these teams are leading the way! 🖥️ We’re thrilled to announce the seven XPRIZE #QuantumApplications Finalist teams. Learn more here. xprize.org/news/xprize-...
