Quantum information solutions provider Infleqtion announced that it has added retired U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. Kimberly Crider to its advisory board.

According to Infleqtion, Crider, a past Potomac Officers Club speaker, has decades of experience in IT, cybersecurity, analytics, governance and digital transformation. Infleqtion said her expertise and understanding of technologies will help the company advance quantum solutions for defense and commercial applications.
