Deeptech: The hurdles of making the first Quantum Computer accessible as a B2B Cloud Product - Alexander Keesling, QuEra
Manage episode 420649099 series 3191600
Alexander Keesling researched quantum computers at Harvard and, together with a team, decided to found a company based on his research.
Today, QuEra generates tens of millions in revenue, licenses its quantum computer via AWS and is building a new quantum computer in Japan for around 41 million dollars.
In the podcast, we talk about the status quo of quantum computing, when quantum computers will be available to the general public, and also how difficult it is to go from researcher to CEO of a fast-growing startup & where the parallels lie.
What you will learn:
What are the challenges of building a great technical team?
When will quantum computing become interesting for the general public and in which industries can it be usefully applied?
What do you need to set up a company as a researcher and how do you find your first customers?
Technical sales: How do you set up a sales organization for a technically sophisticated product?
What difficulties do you encounter when you want to export a new quantum technology to Japan?
