Quantonation

🔥 Congratulations to LightOn on a successful IPO! We at Quantonation are thrilled to celebrate this monumental milestone with the LightOn team. Their journey from an ambitious startup to becoming a publicly traded company is a testament to their work on photonic chips and visionary development of Generative AI applications since 2016.   As early backers of LightOn, we are proud to have been part of their journey and look forward to seeing their continued growth and impact. Congratulations to Laurent Daudet and Igor Carron, co-CEOs and co-founders of LightOn, and to the whole team for the hard work. This IPO is the first on Generative AI in Europe. Here’s to many more milestones ahead! Christophe Jurczak Charles Beigbeder Olivier Tonneau William Zeng Eléonore de Rose Joseph Maillard Emily Meads Aleksandra Krivokapic Raphael Bodin Yu-Hsin W.

Goodbye, #London 👋 A huge thank you to the Bird & Bird team for hosting a great networking breakfast in their exceptional facilities. This event provided the perfect opportunity to introduce Quantonation to a diverse and dynamic group of entrepreneurs, lawyers, and investors and led to very interesting discussions. We were also pleased to meet there two of our portfolio companies, embodied by Richard Murray for ORCA Computing and Daniel Volz for Kipu Quantum, who shared exciting updates on their activities. Always impressive to see how fast they’re progressing! Special thanks to Jee Ha Kim for orchestrating such a valuable gathering and to everyone who joined.

"The #UAE will be relevant in #Quantum, it is a priority for the Emirates" said Dr. José Ignacio Latorre during a session at #Xpanse2024 in Abu Dhabi that closed today. And I'm flying out deeply convinced of that ! What a formidable experience, orchestrated by Zina Jarrahi Cinker, Ph.D., bringing together artists, scientists, government leaders, and private-sector innovators in #DeepTech. I could watch Sean Carroll give an awesome talk (although I could not find him later for a dedicace of his fantastic last book !), meet with legendary Artur Ekert and many others including Quantonation portfolio's best and brightest Mehdi Namazi and Richard Murray, and Joe Niemela Exec. chair of the United Nations International year of Quantum. "Making Quantum Real" has been a great panel I was honored to be part of alongside Carlos Abellan, Dr. Satyam Priyadarshy, Fernando Dominguez Pinuaga, Steve Suarez® with Nicole Morgan moderating. Thank you all for a very vibrant session ! ADQ Neil Abroug XPANSE ORCA Computing Qunnect Technology Innovation Institute

🔥 Looking back at the 2024 Alain Aspect Symposium Climate & Quantum 🔙 On November 19 and 20, we had the privilege of co-organizing the Alain Aspect Symposium at the magnificent Château Saint-Léger, in partnership with iXcampus. With over 150 participants and 30 visionary speakers, the symposium showcased the remarkable dynamism of the quantum ecosystem. The exceptional quality of the discussions sparked bold ideas and opened the door to transformative opportunities at the intersection of quantum technologies and climate solutions. A heartfelt thank you to the speakers, startups, and attendees who contributed their invaluable expertise and perspectives. Your active participation made this gathering not just a success, but a milestone in advancing collaborative innovation on the burning issue of Climate. We are excited to announce that the symposium's outcomes will be compiled into a paper, laying the foundation for future initiatives to establish a framework for applying quantum technologies to climate change mitigation. At Quantonation, we are proud to be at the forefront of this brilliant and ever-evolving ecosystem. Events like this exemplify the power of collaboration to drive innovation, foster synergies, and shape the future of quantum science.
