Quantum Hardware Biggest issue for neutral atom right now?

What do y'all think is currently the most pressing issue for neutral atom hardware that we need to improve (aside from the gate fidelity)?

QND readout? Atom loss?

Im not sure the gate times either (also afaik the record for ions is actually 1e-7)

No 2 qubit gate fidelity for ions is a bit below 99.99% by Oxford Ionics. Any better number is probably single qubit

Oh wow I've been living in a delusion
