Market-catalysing quantum computers may be closer than previously thought. 💡 Our CEO, Dr Chris Ballance, spoke to The Economic Times about the various approaches to quantum computing, why we've chosen to work with trapped ions, and how we've kept scalability at the core of what we do. Check out the full article below.
Good evening!🌻 Nothing jaldi about a Sunday so here's a very laidback and relaxed thread about a highly technical but fascinating topic - quantum computing. The genesis of this Techtonic came from a podcast episode I did earlier this week. If you missed listening to it, here's the link: https://lnkd.in/ggr6Mxf8 But we did this feature with a twist. We built on some of the top themes that our guests Robert Sutor and Ajai Chowdhry shed light on and spoke to more people and have brought you a comprehensive deep dive of a story. The story explores significant developments in the quantum computing space across the globe and with a specific focus on India. We give you a status check on India's largest quantum computer and how the road to a 1000 qubit quantum computer looks. Academic institutions and startups have been leading the charge so far in India but experts said that to take this quantum leap, private investment has to follow. Worldwide, it is the IBMs and Googles of the world that seem to be ahead in the race. Not just this, we address some of the challenges that plague the sector in India - the primary one being funding - but also others like the intensive cooling that is required for these quantum computers. Also, we explore some of the different approaches that companies are taking to achieve these ambitious goals of having a quantum computer that can solve some of the world's most complex problems. So while you enjoy your Sunday, make sure to read today's Techtonic for a lot of insight into what quantum computing is, why it is important, what is being done and where India stands. We've brought you top voices like Chris Ballance of Oxford Ionics, Rajamani Vijayaraghavan of Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Tess Skyrme of IDTechEx, Gopalakrishnan Balasubramanian of XeedQ and Prabhu Rajagopal of Indian Institute of Technology, Madras to break down the technicalities.
