Imagine a quantum computer with a million physical qubits in a space smaller than a sticky note.
That’s exactly what Quantum Art is building. In this TechFirst episode, I chat with CEO Tal David, who shares his team’s vision to deliver quantum systems with:
• 100x more parallel operations
• 100x more gates per second
• A footprint up to 50x smaller than competitors
We also dive into the four key tech breakthroughs behind this roadmap to scale Quantum Art's computer:
1. Multi-qubit gates capable of 1,000 2-qubit operations in a single step
2. Optical segmentation using laser-defined tweezers
3. Dynamic reconfiguration of ion cores at microsecond speed
4. Modular, ultra-dense 2D architectures scaling to 1M+ qubits
We also cover:
- How Quantum Art plans to reach fault tolerance by 2033
- Early commercial viability with 1,000 physical qubits by 2027
- Why not moving qubits might be the biggest innovation of all
- The quantum computing future of healthcare, logistics, aerospace, and energy
