  We present an industrial end-user perspective on the current state of quantum
computing hardware for one specific technological approach, the neutral atom
platform. Our aim is to assist developers in understanding the impact of the
specific properties of these devices on the effectiveness of algorithm
execution. Based on discussions with different vendors and recent literature,
we discuss the performance data of the neutral atom platform. Specifically, we
focus on the physical qubit architecture, which affects state preparation,
qubit-to-qubit connectivity, gate fidelities, native gate instruction set, and
individual qubit stability. These factors determine both the quantum-part
execution time and the end-to-end wall clock time relevant for end-users, but
also the ability to perform fault-tolerant quantum computation in the future.
We end with an overview of which applications have been shown to be well suited
for the peculiar properties of neutral atom-based quantum computers.
