INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Quantum Machines, an Israeli startup launched by three Ph.D
physicists, wants to build the operational and control layer for quantum computing
Today, it announced a $5.5 million seed investment led by TLV Partners with participation from Battery Ventures.The three principals have
Right now the majority of the research is centered on increasing the number of qubits at the processor level
classical computers we use today and the quantum computers of the future will have to work together to pass data and interpret commands
He described three layers in a quantum computing stack
The first is the quantum processor
Next is a classical computing control layer with classical electronics you would find on any computer today
Finally, there is the software layer where you program a classical algorithm that has to be passed to the quantum processor.He says that
some companies are trying to build full stacks, but the bulk of research as been concentrated on building quantum processors
Quantum Machines decided to focus on one part of the stack
added in a statement.The company is currently working on prototype hardware to build this layer and is working with several beta customers
