How can we reinvent quantum computing? Perhaps by shrinking it down and making it small: really small. And, surprisingly for a field that is all about doing in milliseconds calculations that could take decades, making it faster. Israeli quantum computer startup Quantum Art is promising both: a tiny but incredibly powerful quantum computing unit, and 100 times more simultaneous parallel processes than competing quantum architectures.
While there’s a huge amount of innovation in AI and LLMs right now, there’s also huge progress in quantum computing. Alice & Bob recently announced long-lived qubits, IBM shared a roadmap to a quantum computer with 20,000 times the processing power of today’s quantum machines, and Microsoft recently announced a breakthrough in quantum processing using topological superconductors, essentially a new state of matter. Israel is a hotbed of quantum innovation, with $650 million recently raised among nine quantum startups including Quantum Machines, Classiq and Quantum Art.
Based on my recent conversation with Quantum Art CEO Tal David, the company might be a David to the Goliaths in the industry with a real shot at significant leadership in size, speed, and capacity of quantum computers.
