This episode reveals why quantum computing's next big breakthrough might not be about building better qubits, it's about connecting them together.

NuQuantum's journey is a masterclass in pivoting based on market reality.

"Quantum computing is reassuringly hard," Ed explains. "Whatever technique you pursue, there are different limits of scale. But pretty much every modality hits a point where you can't physically assemble enough qubits in a monolithic machine to solve valuable problems."

The solution? Apply classic computing. Just as data centres rely on networking to make distributed computing work, quantum computers need interconnection to scale beyond their physical limits.

"No one company, probably no one country is going to dominate this. This is going to be a collective endeavour, woven together to make highly valuable, highly resilient solutions."

With Series A funding secured, NuQuantum is on an aggressive expansion trajectory.
