I’m excited to welcome PsiQuantum — a company building a scalable, fault tolerant, silicon photonic quantum computer — to the M12 portfolio.
The renowned physicist Richard Feynman said, “Nature isn’t classical…and if you want to make a simulation of nature, you’d better make it quantum mechanical, and by golly it’s a wonderful problem, because it doesn’t look so easy.” Feynman’s statement highlights two key ideas, both of which emphasize why we are excited to invest in PsiQuantum: truly emulating nature to foster new discoveries and breakthroughs requires a quantum approach. Secondarily, building a quantum computer is really hard.
