Keep pulling the thread on Quantum Gets Real.
PsiQuantum's strategy is to focus exclusively on building large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers (FTQC), deliberately skipping the development of near-term, non-error-corrected systems.
A quantum computer capable of breaking RSA-2048 encryption will require three to six orders of magnitude more qubits than currently available systems.
PsiQuantum is spending hundreds of millions of dollars on US semiconductor manufacturing, producing thousands of 300mm wafers for its quantum chips in upstate New York.
PsiQuantum has broken ground on a 90,000 square foot, 22-megawatt quantum computing facility in Chicago.
PsiQuantum estimates a fault-tolerant quantum computer could calculate the exact structure of the P450 enzyme in minutes, a problem intractable for any foreseeable classical supercomputer.
IBM's public roadmap targets the delivery of its first fault-tolerant quantum system in 2029.
It is not out of the question that a quantum computer could achieve meaningful code-breaking capabilities within the next five years.
The founders of PsiQuantum moved from academic jobs to California to start the company based on their failed experience trying to make non-error-corrected quantum systems work.
IBM has deployed over 100 quantum devices on its cloud platform.
IBM has transitioned its quantum chip production to a scaled 300-millimeter fabrication facility.
Nu Quantum is a company building the quantum networking and interconnect layer to enable scaling of quantum computers.
It will be impossible to build a quantum computer capable of breaking RSA-2048 encryption on a single monolithic processor, necessitating an interconnect-based, modular approach.
