Klea Dhmitri (Hamamatsu): Photonics as the hidden backbone of quantum hardware scaling
TL;DRHamamatsu makes optical components critical for scaling up quantum computers.
Why it matters: Quantum hardware needs specialized photonics to work; component suppliers are as important as the computer makers themselves.
Klea Dhmitri of Hamamatsu joins Yuval to discuss the company’s role as a photonic component provider for trapped-ion and neutral-atom quantum computers. She explains key technologies such as photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), SPADs, and quantitative CMOS cameras, and how scaling to…
