Quantum Tech Pod

Christopher Bishop’s latest Quantum Tech Pod with John Levy, CEO, Chair and Co-Founder of Seeqc is live! Seeqc was spun out of Hypres in 2018 where John had served as Chair for 8 years and where he remains a board member. His company is one of the first to have built a superconductor, multi-layer commercial chip foundry to design, test, and manufacture quantum-ready superconductors. Seeqc recently announced a partnership with NVIDIA to build the world’s first fully digital chip-based quantum-to-GPU integration to enable error-corrected quantum supercomputing - all powered by Seeqc’s proprietary Single Flux Quantum (SFQ) technology. This chip-based solution is compatible with all quantum computing technologies (superconducting, silicon spin, photonics, trapped ion, neutral and cold atom, topological).

Christopher Bishop’s latest Quantum Tech Pod is a roundtable discussion on the exciting state of quantum sensors. Guests included Stuart Woods, Chief Operating and Strategy Officer, Quantum Exponential ; Niall Holmes, Founder and Scientific Advisor, Cerca Magnetics Limited, and Pete Stirling, CEO at Delta g. Cerca Magnetics Limited has created OPM-MEG - the world's most advanced functional brain scanner – an integrated, #3D printable wearable device leveraging quantum sensors to provide “a revolutionary product to transform the neuroimaging landscape.” This device measures magnetic fields at 50 locations around the scalp, offering complete brain coverage.  The initial focus is detecting childhood epilepsy. Delta g’s cutting-edge underground imaging system leverages quantum technology to measure gravity gradients beneath the earth’s surface. Use cases include mapping as-built utility infrastructure, improving the monitoring of sinking buildings from climate change or seismic activity, and discovering hidden natural resources. Quantum Exponential has invested in Delta g and also sponsored the Institute of Physics' qBIG prize which Cerca Magnetics won. These companies are providing transformative, real-world applications of quantum sensors. Stuart shared his perspective on why, from a VC perspective, these are such exciting times for quantum sensors. Check out this fascinating conversation about the current state and future potential of quantum sensors!  ## #quantumsensors #quantum #quantuminvestment Inside Quantum Technology #IQT #quantumVC

Christopher Bishop’s latest Quantum Tech Pod with Yonatan Cohen, Co-Founder and CTO, Quantum Machines is live! Dr. Cohen is a quantum physicist, entrepreneur and co-founder and ex-managing director of the entrepreneurship program at The Weizmann Institute of Science in Tel Aviv. He founded Quantum Machines in 2018. His company just announced OPX1000 – The Quantum Control Solution for Large-Scale Quantum Computing. This device leads the industry in key performance metrics including feedback capabilities, runtime, analog performance and channel density.  Plus, the solution works across multiple disparate qubit modalities including quantum dot spin qubits, NV & other defect centers, superconducting qubits and neutral atoms. In March of this year Quantum Machines announced a collaboration with the innovative French quantum computing company Alice & Bob to aid them in their development of fault-tolerant quantum computers. Plus, they are partnering with NVIDIA on a first-of-its-kind architecture to create the first purpose-built infrastructure for industrial-scale quantum-accelerated supercomputers.

Chris Bishop’s latest Quantum Tech Pod with Dr. Stephanie Simmons, Chief Quantum Officer at Photonic is live! Stephanie describes herself as a “quantum native” - she was a huge nerd growing up and was upset that her parents only introduced her to programming at age nine! She came across quantum when she was 16 and has been heads down into it ever since. She is looking forward to a future with many more quantum natives! Her perspective is that human progress is always anchored in the commercialization of various branches of physics – which has led us to where we are today exploring quantum! Photonic is working the middle ground between silicon photonics and silicon spins to create a silicon spin interface. Since spin qubits are essentially unpaired electrons, they are brilliant qubits. This approach will allow users to fill rooms with modular rack-mountable devices that can scale across a whole data center.

Chris Bishop’s latest Quantum Tech Pod with Si-Hui Tan, Chief Science Officer at Horizon Quantum Computing is live! Dr. Tan has a Bachelor of Science with honors in Physics from Caltech and PhD in Physics from MIT. Prior to joining Horizon, she spent 5 years as a researcher at the Singapore University of Technology and Design. Dr. Tan also spent a year as a Visiting Professor at the Niels Bohr International Academy at the University of Copenhagen. Horizon’s approach allows users to write programs in classical languages that can be compiled and run on conventional or quantum computers, without any knowledge of quantum computing. The output can be instruction sets in the language of the targeted processor and is not limited to any specific libraries. Her advice to women interested in working in quantum? "Look for role models! It can be hard and it might take some time to find them, but surround yourself with allies and stay strong against naysayers – be yourself!"

Chris Bishop’s latest Quantum Tech Pod with Antti Vasara, President & CEO of VTT is live! VTT is a state-owned and controlled non-profit, limited liability company based in Helsinki, Finland with over 2000 people. It is one of Europe’s leading research, development and innovation institutions. Almost two years ago, the VTT Technical Research Centre deployed Finland’s first operational 5-qubit quantum computer in partnership with hardware start-up IQM. The roadmap lays out a plan to get to a 50-qubit machine by 2024. In addition to quantum computers, VTT is also actively involved in developing quantum sensors, quantum networks and quantum cryptography solutions leveraging QKD and PQC. VTT is also a member of Institute Q - the Finnish Quantum Institute whose goal is to raise the readiness of Finnish society for the disruptive implications that quantum technologies will have on both society and the economy at large.
