Getting qubits out of a chip. Engineers spend days, sometimes weeks, manually configuring a silicon chip to create a qubit, and a useful quantum computer needs billions of them.^{[2]Launch YCConductor Quantum: Quantum computers on silicon chips using AIYC, Aug 22, 2024} Removing the human from that loop is the bottleneck the company attacks.^{[1]Y CombinatorConductor Quantum company profileYC[4]Deeptech DecodedBrandon Severin on automating qubit tune-up during his PhD (12:52)Episode}
