My latest Quantum Tech Pod with Carmen Palacios-Berraquero, Founder and CEO of quantum company Nu Quantum, is live! 

Carmen grew up in Spain and received an MSc in Physics from Imperial College London and a PhD from the University of Cambridge. 

Nu Quantum was a spin-out of the University of Cambridge’s Cavendish Laboratory in 2018. They are building the entanglement fabric required to enable large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers. 

Their approach is to interconnect many smaller cores using a Quantum Networking Unit (QNU) capable of scaling discrete Quantum Processing Units (QPU) to form a larger and more useful quantum computer.

Earlier this year, the U.K. Government awarded Nu Quantum a $2.9 million contract to deliver a first-of-a-kind rack-mounted, scalable quantum data center prototype working with networking supplier Cisco as the prospective end user.

Nu Quantum also recently announced a collaboration with SoftwareQ as part of Project Quarrefour. This initiative will use hardware-software codesign techniques to integrate SoftwareQ’s compiler technology into the real-time firmware of Nu Quantum’s control system. 

Carmen believes in diversity of thought and background and has led several pro-equality and LGBTQIA+ visibility groups, initiatives, and direct actions in STEM and beyond.
