“I think AI is now a core component in everything we look at, even if it’s in advanced materials or therapeutics they are using it to help accelerate. If you haven’t got AI as part of the business model, you’re missing a trick.”
“Not all types of qubits allow for the quantum error correction needed to enable more reliable quantum computing. And without reliable quantum computing, valuable solutions to classically intractable problems are unlikely to be achieved. It’s essential to graduate from computing with noisy physical qubits to operating with reliable, logical ones.”
“Everything in venture is connected and as soon as the IPO windows open then that signals to those further down the track that there is a path to liquidity. Anecdotally I’m seeing people say that things are starting to pick up.”
“Quantum is great for edge tasks that are hard to solve with CPUs alone. Its qualities make it useful, for example, in factory floor automatisation where there are a lot of resources that you need to track and allocate and constraints that you need to deal with.”
Krisztian Benyo, technical business developer with quantum technology player Pasqal, talking to BI Foresight about the future of edge computing
“Some of them have done one or two investments in the space, and I wouldn’t be surprised if people start actually trying to raise fully fresh funds focused on deep tech. We’re going to see a lot more.”
