Inside the Quantum Infrastructure Revolution with Carmen Palacios-Berraquero, Founder & CEO @ Nu Quantum
Carmen Palacios-Berraquero makes a compelling case that quantum networks aren't just connecting quantum computers—they are the quantum computer itself, creating what she calls an 'entanglement fabric' that fundamentally redefines the architecture. As CEO of Nu Quantum, she reveals how the quantum gold rush is already generating revenue through infrastructure companies while offering hard-won lessons about building teams in a nascent industry where product specifications are still evolving.
Key takeaways
- •Quantum networks create an 'entanglement fabric' that essentially becomes the quantum computer itself, not just a way to connect separate processors.
- •The quantum business model is already working for 'picks and shovels' infrastructure companies that are generating real product revenue today.
- •Trust your intuition about people decisions when building teams—this becomes especially critical in emerging industries where traditional hiring playbooks don't apply.
- •Building quantum startups requires leaders who can navigate extreme uncertainty about both technology specifications and market timing.
- •The quantum encryption threat may be overhyped in the near term, with data center applications likely preceding broader cybersecurity disruption.
