The nr1 Quantum Technology podcast for investors.
Here is the questionthat decides whether quantum scales. Can we model the real device physicsbefore we commit to the lab?
Quantum is notblocked by qubits alone. It is blocked by the missing quantum EDA stack.
I just recorded a 30minute summary with Jonathon Riddell, CEO of Kothar Computing, and his messageis concrete.
A big barrier tobuilding quantum computers today is, in his words, strangely still on theclassical computing side.
Because theclassical EDA toolchain was never built to capture the quantum physics thatdetermines whether these devices work.
So teams simulate,hand designs to a fab, fabricate the chip, measure it, and only then realizekey effects were not captured before committing to the lab.
Jonathon calls thisbeing blind, and he adds an important nuance. That is a bit harsh, because wedo capture some effects.
But not the fullphysics we actually care about.
That is why quantumEDA matters.
He describes it as atop to bottom simulation suite that lets engineers design quantum chips whilecapturing the physics that matters, before expensive lab cycles.
Where Kothar fits inthe value chain is as the compute engine underneath that stack.
They built alanguage, Aleph, combining symbolic computing with numerical high performancecomputing.
The idea is simple.In quantum many body problems, symbolic reduction is leverage.
Skip it, and you canend up solving something one hundred to one thousand times harder thannecessary.
My investortakeaway.
If you only trackqubit counts, you are missing a parallel race.
