Lightsynq, USA, a Boston-based startup, launched on 19 November after raising US$18 million in Series A funding to build technology enabling quantum computers to scale to commercially useful sizes. Lightsynq will leverage synthetic diamonds with unique optical properties from Element Six (E6), a division of the De Beers Group, UK, to address the network loss associated with extracting quantum information out of computing modules. Quantum memories are the only known approach for building loss-tolerant connections between quantum computers. According to Lightsynq, their quantum memories are created by embedding silicon atoms into diamond to form silicon vacancy color centers (SiVs)—two-qubit registers that are controllable using microwave pulses.

New startup Lightsynq was launched on November 19th after raising US$18 million in Series A funding. They plan on using diamonds to build technology that could enable quantum computers to scale to commercially useful sizes. Read the OPN story: https://bit.ly/41nVnq3 #quantum #diamonds #optics #photonics #technology - Hi, we’re Lightsynq! Today, #quantum interconnect #startup Lightsynq officially comes out of stealth mode with $18M in Series A round led by Cerberus Ventures, the venture investing platform of Cerberus Capital Management, with participation from Murata Electronics North America Inc., IAG Capital Partners, Safar Partners, QVT Financial LP, Element Six and IQT (In-Q-Tel). Founded by former Harvard University quantum networking experts and Amazon Web Services (AWS) Center for Quantum Networking leaders, Dr. Mihir Bhaskar (CEO), Dr. Bart Machielse (CTO) and Dr. David Levonian (CPO), Lightsynq helps scale quantum computing for real-world applications through building breakthrough quantum interconnects. #QuantumComputing is a rapidly developing technology with the potential to unlock significant benefits across industries and use cases, from #pharma to #MaterialsScience to #EnvironmentalEngineering. Lightsynq’s diamond-based quantum interconnects will help solve the core challenge of linking together individual quantum computers into a network, overcoming the limitations of single system scaling.
