Building bridges between quantum and classical computing
Yonatan Cohen of Quantum Machines is our podcast guest The post Building bridges between quantum and classical computing appeared first on Physics World .
In the latest episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast, Yonatan Cohen, co-founder and chief technology officer of Quantum Machines, discusses the growing significance of hybrid quantum-classical control systems as quantum computers continue to expand in size. Cohen, who co-founded the company in 2018 alongside three physicists from Israel's Weizmann Institute, leads an organization of approximately 300 employees and serves over 500 customers globally.
As quantum computers grow to incorporate more qubits, Cohen highlights the increasing importance of hybrid systems that bridge the gap between quantum and classical computing. This evolution is crucial for managing and controlling the complex operations of increasingly powerful quantum devices.
Quantum Machines specializes in developing control systems tailored to various types of qubits, including superconducting circuits, trapped ions, neutral atoms, spins, and NV centres. The company's strategy involves supporting a diverse range of qubit technologies to cater to the evolving landscape of quantum computing.
In addition to product development and client support, Quantum Machines collaborates with other key players in the quantum technology space. Cohen mentions partnerships with companies like Rigetti Computing and Diraq, underscoring the importance of collaboration in advancing quantum technologies.
Beyond technical innovations, Cohen offers career advice for physicists looking to enter the quantum sector. His insights provide guidance on navigating the rapidly growing field and the opportunities it presents for those with a background in physics.
