One of the main issues with the de facto mechanism for contemporary quantum computing is that, in order for these devices to address challenges that advance society, the core must have between 100,000 and one million qubits operating as a single unit.

Amadeus Capital Partner’s Dr. Manjari Chandran-Ramesh explains: “The ability to apply quantum computing at scale is what’s needed to unlock the potential of this revolutionary advancement in processing power. Nu Quantum’s systems architecture approach, driven by quantum entanglement, is unique in the market today and has great commercial potential. Further, its product solution is poised to be able to adapt to any type of qubit technology, which makes the impact far-reaching.”
