Thrilled to announce the next stage of our journey. Huge thanks to our stellar team and our amazing investors (@soundboy and many others) - onward to quantum advantage!
We’ve raised $34M to accelerate our mission to make quantum useful now. Thank you to @pluralplatform , @PlaygroundVC, @novoholdings who co-led this round, and to our returning investors @AlbionVC , @latitudevc and @ParkwalkAdvisor for backing this next chapter.

The registration deadline of the main event of the year on quantum computing theory in practice (#QCTiP2025) will be #tomorrow, anywhere on Earth.
27 Feb 2025
At the wonderful #QIP2025 conference, I overheard many times that while QIP is great, it would be good to have a second QIP for more pragmatically and practically motivated problems in quantum tech. This does exist as QCTiP and will take place as #QCTiP2025 in #Berlin this year.

Can low-depth QAOA provide exponential quantum speedup over the best known classical heuristics on any optimization problems? Yes! ✅ @quantumashley and I show this in our new paper: arxiv.org/abs/2411.04979 which we did while I was a visiting fellow @PhasecraftLtd! (1/6)
