Oxford Quantum Circuits -- OQC -- announced a $100 million Series B and revealed the public availability of OQC Toshiko, an enterprise-ready quantum computing platform. I'm very sentimental about this news. It just seems like yesterday that I and some colleagues at our then brand new "blog" were on a conference call with Ilana Wisby, who had only been at the helm as OQC's CEO for a bit over six months. She graciously (and patiently) explained superconducting circuits to us.
Finally, interesting news from Amazon Web Services (AWS). They announced a new quantum computing chip, which registered a significant -- 100 times -- boost in error correction. Lots of work ahead, but that's a firm step toward quantum computing that can tackle real-world problems.
As if on queue, last week's UK Autumn Statement, which touted the nation's collective quantum muscle, was answered when OQC announced a $100 million Series B. It also revealed the public availability of OQC Toshiko, an enterprise-ready quantum computing platform
This step taken is an important part of developing the hardware efficient and scalable quantum error correction that we need to solve interesting problems on a quantum computer." -- Peter DeSantis, Vice President of Global Infrastructure and Customer Support at AWS
I'm paraphrasing, but investor Benjamin Graham said that in the long run, the market is a weighing machine, but in the short run, it is a crazy roller coaster operated by some deranged carnie. Paraphrasing, of course. Paraphrasing. The last few years have demonstrated the difficulty of trying to predict how capital markets will respond to quantum. Just in the last few months, we've seen a sudden turn-around in the investment climate for quantum technology, which came after a very slow summer. Rather than try to predict, you can use The Quantum Insider's Intelligence Platform to carefully monitor the market. In all likelihood, it will still be a roller coaster, but at least you'll be ready for the dips and loops.
Multiverse Computing, a global leader in value-based quantum computing and machine learning solutions, has used a digital twin and quantum optimization to boost the efficiency of green hydrogen production. This work could change the economics of hydrogen production and reduce a significant source of greenhouse gas.
Billions of dollars are being invested in quantum computing. Leading businesses, governments and academic institutions are committed to this space. A new study conducted by Hyperion Research notes that the global quantum computing market continues to grow at a rapid pace.
Hosted by The Qubit Guy (Yuval Boger, our Chief Marketing Officer), the podcast hosts thought leaders in quantum computing to discuss business and technical questions that impact the quantum computing ecosystem. Our guests provide interesting insights about quantum computer software and algorithm, quantum computer hardware, key applications for quantum computing, market studies of the quantum industry and more.
Major consultancies McKinsey and the Boston Consulting Group have identified outsized impacts from Enterprise adoption of quantum computing and sensing, with estimates approaching $850 billion USD in projected value creation. This is driving major investor activity in quantum technology; McKinsey cites over $3 billion USD in venture capital investment into quantum computing as of June 2022, and has identified that quantum technology is the second largest sector for tech investment into Australia.
Quantum computers promise huge strategic benefits to enterprise users struggling with difficult computational challenges - from finance to pharma. However, quantum computers are unable to deliver on their promise because the hardware is susceptible to error and instability, making this the Achilles Heel of the field. Q-CTRL has developed a unique technology that improves quantum hardware utility and performance by addressing the existential problem of hardware error.
Founded by Michael J. Biercuk in 2017, Q-CTRL has pioneered the quantum infrastructure software segment, and has become the leading product-focused software company in the broad quantum sector. In 2022, Q-CTRL augmented its product leadership, bringing in deeptech executive Aravind Ratnam as Chief Strategy Officer and Silicon Valley veteran Alex Shih as Head of Product.
Q-CTRL has been an inaugural member of the IBM Quantum Startup network since 2018, and recently announced partnerships with quantum industry partner Classiq and end-users Xerox PARC, Capgemini, and Transport for NSW. The company has international headquarters in Sydney, Los Angeles, and Berlin.
Older Genius+ Optimum has the same pimple geometry as Quantum series. When compared to Genius+ Optimum, the top sheet of Quantum series is harder although it is still much softer than the rubbers with dense pimple arrangement. I had always thought that Genius+ Optimum is much softer than its competitor : Butterfly Tenergy 64. But, by hardening the top sheet, the feeling of Quantum series has become close to that of Tenergy 64.
Since 1985 he has focused on current flow in nanoscale electronic devices and the approach pioneered by his group for the description of quantum transport, combining the non-equilibrium Green function (NEGF) formalism of many-body physics with the Landauer formalism from mesoscopic physics, has been widely adopted in the field of nanoelectronics. This is described in his books Electronic Transport in Mesoscopic Systems (Cambridge 1995) and Quantum Transport: Atom to Transistor (Cambridge 2005) and he was elected to the US National Academy of Engineering (NAE) for this work.
Quantum computing aims to overcome the limitations of classical computing and bring unprecedented processing power to solve highly valuable computational problems that could not be addressed previously. According to BCG research, quantum computing will unlock new value across many industries, creating up to $850 billion in annual value by 2040.
Our research group is accelerating the quantum future. Working with government and academic partners, we are pioneering new quantum algorithms and techniques to tackle the most complex problems in industry.
Since launching in 2018, IQM has become the fastest-growing quantum computer company and has cemented its position as the European leader in building superconducting quantum computers. IQM is also the only European company that is already delivering full-stack quantum systems. According to BCG, the technology could create up to $850 billion in value globally over the next 15-30 years as it scales up and improves accuracy and stability. As an enabling technology that can deliver supercharged, precise computer power that is immensely more advanced than any supercomputer, it is expected to improve drug discovery, transform encryption and data protection, and predict financial systems. For example, a problem that could take a supercomputer 10,000 years to solve would take a quantum computer only four minutes.
The next decade is predicted to be the decade of quantum technology with governments and organisations investing in preparing for the quantum future now. IQM is already partnering with organisations such as Atos, VTT and Infineon to develop solutions that leverage this transformative technology. To help continue its work, this new funding will be used to expand its international business operations, accelerate research and pioneer new product development.
For the first investment with the ScaleUp-Fonds Bayern, we could hardly have wished for a better company with a signal effect for the entire region," said Monika Steger, Managing Director of Bayern Kapital. "With the world's first connection of a quantum computer to a supercomputer, we are witnessing a breakthrough in quantum technology. We are very pleased to be able to support the IQM team in this crucial phase and to contribute to building a European global market leader with a strong foothold here in Munich." The technology promises "entirely new possibilities in solving some of humanity's big problems and could be a take-off platform for entire industries," adds Steger's colleague Dr Georg Ried. "We see the potential here for a revolutionary further development similar to the internet and wish the entire team all the best in achieving these milestones."
IQM provides on-premises quantum computers for supercomputing centres and research labs and offers full access to its hardware. For industrial customers, IQM delivers quantum advantage through a unique application-specific, co-design approach.
The average VC deal size for quantum computing startups in 2020 was just under $10 million, so the $50 million Quantum Machines has raised may indicate a new phase in VC assessment of the state of this emerging technology. It is also the largest round of investment ever in a quantum company not focused on building a quantum computer but on developing the infrastructure to support all types and brands of quantum computers.
