I was invited to listen in on an event hosted by Fujitsu and Quantum Insider on the reality of Quantum Computing (QC) in financial services today. This market is a good test for QC since multiple possible high value applications have been suggested. The panel was chaired by Brian Lenehan, (Founder and Chair, Quantum Strategy Institute),… Read More
Quantum algorithms must be simulated on classical computers to validate correct behavior, but this looks very different from classical logic simulation. Paul Cunningham (GM, Verification at Cadence), Raúl Camposano (Silicon Catalyst, entrepreneur, former Synopsys CTO and lecturer at Stanford, EE292A) and I continue our… Read More
There’s more than one way to build a quantum computer (QC) though it took me a while to find a good reference. I finally settled on Building Quantum Computers: A Practical Introduction. Excellent book but designed only for those who will enjoy lots of quantum math. I’m going to spare you that and instead describe a couple of the more… Read More
Just got an opportunity to write a blog on PQShield, and I’m delighted for several reasons. Happy to work with a company based in Oxford and happy to work on a quantum computing-related topic, which you’ll find I will be getting into more deeply over coming months. (Need a little relief from a constant stream of AI topics.) Also important,… Read More
The annual SNUG (Synopsys Users Group) conference, now in its 35th year, once again brought together key stakeholders to showcase accomplishments, discuss challenges, and explore opportunities within the semiconductor and electronics industry. With approximately 2,500 attendees, SNUG 2025 served as a dynamic hub for collaboration… Read More
Silicon Catalyst is an organization that supports early-stage semiconductor startups with an ecosystem that provides tools and resources needed to design, create, and market semiconductor solutions. It is the only incubator + accelerator focused on the Global Semiconductor Industry and operates with the motto “It’s about… Read More
The semiconductor industry continues to evolve rapidly to meet the escalating demands for speed, power efficiency, and miniaturization. As traditional silicon-based technologies reach their physical and performance limits, engineered substrates and advanced material innovation have emerged as pivotal drivers of the… Read More
Many of you are already familiar with Silicon Catalyst and the value it brings to semiconductor startups, the industry and the electronics industry at large. Silicon Catalyst is an organization that supports early-stage semiconductor startups with an ecosystem that provides tools and resources needed to design, create, and… Read More
To create quantum computing chips today, a typical designer must cobble various tools together, switching back and forth between them for different tasks. By contrast, EDA solutions such as Keysight Advanced Design System (ADS) unify a design workflow in a single interface with automated data exchange between features. In … Read More
Over the last few years, there has been an increase in news about quantum computing. Much of this news coverage has been around computing supremacy, potential threats to information security and quantum cryptography. While the field of quantum computing is still in its early stages, there are several companies who have already… Read More
