How is venture capital approaching the quantum tech potential, breaking the hold of Bell Inequalities and more in this edition of The Quantum Weekly.
Spotlight Story: Quantum Computing and the World of Venture Capital
“As outlined in a previous TQD article Venture Capital (VC) investment in QC is increasing, but it pales in comparison to other “deep tech” areas. ~$9bn was invested in AI in 2018 vs less than $200m in QC.

Whilst there are firms out there investing in QC, it’s fairly uncommon to see the big hitters getting involved in the space. So at TQD we wanted to explore why there isn’t more interest from VC investors…” — The Quantum Daily
