Shmuel Bachinsky, CEO and co-founder of Quantum Transistors, a second-generation quantum computing company aiming to build the “8086” of quantum computing, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Shmuel discusses the company’s focus on using diamond-based solid-state spin qubits combined with silicon photonics and CMOS control planes, aiming to build a scalable quantum processor. He contrasts this approach with the challenges of silicon-based qubits, emphasizing higher operating temperatures and the potential for better two-qubit gate fidelity. Shmuel shares insights on scalability, funding, and future growth, and much more
