Ep 5: Oratomic's $300M Bet That Fault Tolerance Needs 10,000 Qubits, Not Millions

About this episode

Oratomic just raised $300 million on a bet that fault-tolerant quantum computing needs roughly 10,000 qubits instead of millions — plus Google teaches a quantum computer to fix its own mistakes mid-run, IBM models fusion fuel salt on a quantum chip, and Quantinuum pushes trapped-ion simulation into real materials science.
