Now, though, the company's billion-dollar valuation is being called into question, angry customers are considering a lawsuit - and investors and venture capitalists are starting to rethink a new phase for the Philippines' startup ecosystem. At a time when Singapore-based Grab Holdings and Indonesian rival Gojek were building digital empires spanning everything from ride-hailing to digital payments and more, Revolution and its founder, Robbie Antonio, were promising quick-to-build luxury homes. MANILA - Revolution Precrafted is a different kind of unicorn - but then the startup scene in the Philippines has always been a bit different from the rest of Southeast Asia. Revolution Precrafted becomes a cautionary tale for valuation-focused startups "Quantum is expected to be as important as mobile and cloud have been over the last two decades," Clifton said, adding, "we were focused on large addressable markets, differentiated technologies and excellent management teams.As the Philippines' first unicorn stumbles, can 'camels' rise? Rigetti's quantum technology is scalable, practical and manufacturable, said Supernova's chief financial officer Michael Clifton, in a press conference this week related to the deal. If quantum ever works, there could be a huge market, hence the VC interest, but the technology is years away from significant revenue, Gwennap told The Register.ĭeals by SPAC (special purpose acquisition companies) like Supernova Partners tend to be highly speculative, but the venture firm's due diligence on Rigetti was more around the possible rewards if quantum computers live up to their hype. Microfluidic processor brings us one step closer to a future of squishy DNA computing.Big Blue's quantum rainmaker jumps to room-temp diamond quantum accelerator company.This is not something that we do a good job of teaching our kids' 'Quantum computer algorithms are linear algebra, probabilities.D-Wave claims it can build a gate-model quantum computer.If researchers can meet that challenge, quantum processors will provide an excellent complement to classical processors," Gwennap wrote. "Solving the error-rate problem will require substantially new approaches. Quantum computers show promise but still immature, with questions around stability, said Linley Gwennap, president of Linley Group, in a research note last month. D-Wave offers a quantum-annealing system based on flux bits to solve limited-sized problems, but this week said it was building a new superconducting system to solve larger problems. Rigetti and PsiQuantum are startups in a growing field of quantum computer makers that includes heavyweights IBM and Google, which are building superconducting quantum systems based on transmon qubits. Theoretically, that makes quantum computers significantly more powerful, and enables applications like drug discovery, which are limited by the constraints of classical computers. These computers can evaluate data simultaneously, while classical computers evaluate data sequentially, simply put. Quantum computers encode information in qubits, and store exponentially more information in the form of 1s, 0s or a superposition of both. Quantum computers process information differently way than classical computing.
