there is general public funding for all kinds of science, including physics
I never got the intense interest in quantum computing. My pet theory is that (CS-educated) rich VCs were taken by the word 'computing' , but in reality QC is a theoretical sub-branch of quantum physics. I should test my theory by publishing my tomato computing theory.
- fastneutron 3y agoAnything being done in the public sector (e.g. academia or government) is pocket change by comparison, and so bound up with red tape these days that most truly high risk/reward bets are passed over. That, and you’re at the mercy of congressional budget cycles and the usual grant writing hunger games. If innovation emerges from that environment, it’s in spite of it, not because of it. If private capital wants to fund deeptech, more power to them. If they want forego due diligence and fund tomato computers, that’s (literally) their business.
