Building Photonic Quantum Computers

In this talk we will introduce PsiQuantum's approach to quantum computing and the challenges the company is facing. We will motivate the use of photons as qubits and how to generate them, before introducing the building blocks of our error-corrected architecture. Finally, we will give an overview of the technical obstacles that are yet to overcome, from ultra-low-loss optical interconnects to cryoplant facilities in order to build such a machine.
