In this episode of Blond & Quantum, host Eva Galant sits down with Jerome Paye, Co-Founder and CEO of TAU Systems a Texas-based deep-tech startup building compact particle accelerators and soft X-ray lasers ⚡🔬. 

TAU's technology miniaturizes what normally requires kilometer-long government facilities with applications ranging from space radiation testing ☢️ to next-generation semiconductor lithography 💡🔩

Topics discussed:
📍What TAU Systems actually builds (explained without a physics degree)
📍Why Moore's Law needs new light sources to continue
📍How space radiation testing works — and why demand is exploding
📍The difference between conventional accelerators and laser-plasma acceleration
📍TAU's business model: service first, then sell the machines
📍The long-term vision: affordable particle accelerators for universities and 📍discovery

Expect honesty, insight, and a touch of humor (and maybe a brief cameo from Eva’s very real, very curious Schrödinger’s cat 🐈‍⬛).
