More context on how PsiQuantum is building million qubit #quantum computers. To build a handful of qubits you can get away with lab scale processes. To build a useful machine you need to go far beyond just the physics and draw upon the trillions of dollars that have been spent on #semiconductor manufacturing & test. #innovation #quantumcomputing

Moore's law isn't dead, its just resting. #innovation #EUV #semiconductors

Agricultural scientist Steven Savage wrote in Forbes about GigaCrop's approach to boosting photosynthesis with machine learning and enzyme engineering in conjunction with the announcement of the company's pre-seed round led by Playground Global today: https://lnkd.in/gD-E9vPh

Today we announced our $4.5 million pre-seed round of funding led by Playground Global. GigaCrop technology will help plants use sunlight more efficiently, enabling agricultural producers of food, fiber, and fuel to grow more with the same water, fertilizer, and acreage. Using machine learning to improve enzymes, we aim to boost photosynthesis, crop yields, and farmers’ profits. Read our announcement for more: https://lnkd.in/gwUv-sZ8

?? Today GigaCrop announced its $4.5M pre-seed round led by Playground Global. ?? GigaCrop is rewriting the biological limits of plant efficiency, using machine learning and enzyme engineering. ?? The company is pioneering a new carbon fixation pathway to help plants convert sunlight into energy far more efficiently, boosting crop yields for a more prosperous and resilient world. ??
