🚀 The Quantum Startup Ecosystem

Beyond tech giants, venture-backed startups are pioneering novel quantum technologies. PsiQuantum targets fault-tolerant photonic computing, Atom Computing scales neutral atoms to 1000+ qubits, Xanadu commercializes quantum ML. These startups take higher risks on unproven approaches—potential for breakthrough or failure.

💡 Why Startups Matter

Agility over resources: Move faster than big tech, pivot when needed. Novel platforms: Photonics, neutral atoms, silicon—alternatives to superconducting qubits. Specialized applications: Focused solutions rather than general-purpose machines.
