🎙️ Exclusive Interview: Richard Murray on the Future of Photonic Quantum Computing In this in-depth conversation with The Quantum Bull host Majeed Badizadegan, our CEO Richard Murray shares how ORCA’s #photonic quantum systems are redefining what’s possible in AI, machine learning, and scalable quantum computing. 💡 Key highlights: • ORCA’s photonic quantum computers use single photons as qubits — operating at room temperature via standard optical-fiber networks. • No cryogenics required → effortless data-center integration. • Our current system runs 90 qumodes, with plans to scale to 120–150 to surpass classical supercomputers. • Modular roadmap: annual optical-module upgrades for continuous performance gains. • Active collaboration with NVIDIA on hybrid quantum-AI applications. • Richard’s journey: From leading the UK’s £270 million National Quantum Program to co-founding ORCA Computing. • Why quantum’s “GPT moment” may be closer than you think. 🔗 Watch the full interview: https://lnkd.in/gcXUN35m #QuantumComputing #Photonics #AI #MachineLearning #QuantumAI #DataCenters #NVIDIA #QuantumHardware #ORCAComputing

How do you build a fault-tolerant quantum computer? Use photons and #optical #nonlinearities. ⚛️ #Photons are fast, robust to noise, and naturally networkable through optical fiber—making them an ideal foundation for scalable quantum systems. The challenge is efficiency: generating and entangling photons typically requires vast resources. In our latest research paper authored by Maike Ostmann, Josh Nunn and Alex Jones, we show how introducing #optical #nonlinearities into a photonic architecture can dramatically reduce system footprint and improve resilience to photon loss. These nonlinearities stem from strong light–matter interactions that are fast, scalable, and operate at room temperature. 👉 Access the full research paper through our blog and explore how this work advances ORCA’s nonlinear photonic architecture: 🔗https://lnkd.in/gqnNDXcu At ORCA Computing, we’re combining near-term system delivery with long-term innovation—building quantum computers that work today while developing the technologies that make them fault-tolerant tomorrow. 🚀 #Photonics #OpticalNonlinearities #ORCAComputing #quantumcomputing
