Automated excerpt
PsiQuantum has pursued performance requirements for fault-tolerant quantum computing that exceed many of those required for optical switching in AI data centers. AI and quantum computing are complementary technologies: more efficient AI infrastructure can accelerate the development and operation of quantum systems, while some advances made for quantum computing can help remove bottlenecks in AI infrastructure. As optics make AI infrastructure more efficient, stronger AI infrastructure can in turn support the design, control, and operation of increasingly capable quantum systems.
