Unlocking practical quantum computing
Annual ReviewQuantum computers represent a platform technology-in-waiting, but are held back by bottlenecks in networking their fundamental building blocks: the qubit.
Nu Quantum’s Quantum Networking Unit (QNU) offers an ingenious solution to the qubit problem by interconnecting discrete Quantum Processing Units (QPUs), paving the way for scalable quantum computing.
Nu Quantum’s breakthrough will unlock practical quantum computing and the multitude of applications it offers. The foundations for Nu Quantum’s breakthrough lie in Dr Carmen Palacios-Berraquero’s work during her time as a researcher at the Cavendish Laboratory, and support from Founding Advisor Professor Mete Atatüre, a world expert on quantum optics, devices and their applications.
“Large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computing will bring about the technological revolution of our generation."
Dr Carmen Palacios-Berraquero continues, “We have built an exceptional team dedicated to the mission of building the quantum networking infrastructure necessary to make this a reality. We are grateful to the investors who share our vision for their support as we scale and commercialise our solution.”
From the early stages of commercialising her patent and being the first investor of Nu Quantum, to helping to develop the company’s strategy and secure subsequent seed funding, Carmen views Cambridge Enterprise as instrumental in Nu Quantum’s growth. In November 2023, Nu Quantum secured a £8.5 million pre-Series A round co-led by Amadeus Capital Partners, Expeditions Fund and IQ Capital.
