British
quantum computing experts leave for Silicon Valley (FT)
- A few weeks after the UK pledged GBP150m to help develop commercial quantum computing (QC) applications, a group of Britain’s best-known QC scientists moved to Silicon Valley to found PsiQ.
- The 50 employee strong startup is aiming to produce a commercial quantum computer within the next five years, and was co-founded by Jeremy O’Brien, a physicist at the University of Bristol and Terry Rudolph, a professor at Imperial College London.
- According to Philipp Gerbert, senior partner at BCG and a former physicist “this would be a major breakthrough if and when it becomes available.”
Analysis and Comments
- Retaining expertise in quantum computing is crucial for a number of reasons beyond the market for designing and building quantum computers.
- The prospect of a quantum processor with several million qubits being available on a 10- to 15-year timeframe makes the quantum cyber security threat increasingly real today.
- “Sensitive” organisations whose value or function depends on protecting valuable long-lived data (i.e. governments and their agencies, defence, critical infrastructure, autos and aerospace OEMs), will be exposed to quantum computing’s forward threat of “harvest now, quantum decrypt later”.
- Such organisations will soon need to migrate to quantum-safe cyber security, and that will create a cycle of spending for well-placed cyber/IT names, hence we think this is the best way to play the quantum computing theme in the near/mid-term.

Overly thought out! Flat design is going to die. Resteem for your content and pics,,
Cool this is really interesting thanks a lot here's to the next 15 years will be great to see what they come up with!

the major task for the Quantum Computing is to have a hardware with built in software to finalize Quantum Computing and the original team to succeed is to have full power for designing and building quantum computers.
yes sir, without quantum computers all mentioned points above are useless and dead.
I love what i have read here so i have restemeed this post and upvoted it fully
thank you

@vlemon, Now this news is very big one in regards to the Artificial Intelligence and definitely we can expect now Super Advanced Technology in near future. Let's see how this Book Of Technology will unfold. Stay blessed.
5 years? That sounds ambitious considering there are a few problems that seem pretty hard to solve(it is hard to observe the result of any calculation).
