Once upon a time, the British Government decided to invest some 80 million into quantum computing.

Jeremy O'Brien told his peers that he had the best tech, and that he should get it all.

Some well connected peers from well known universities did not agree however, and also bid for the money, and won.

Jeremy was defeated. And pissed.

So he moved to Palo Alto and raised a total of $665 million instead as of 2021. The end.

Makes for a reasonable the old man lost his horse.

They were called PsiQ previously apparently.More interestingly, the article mentions that this was party advised by early investor Hermann Hauser, who is known to be preoccupied about UK's ability to create companies. Of course, European Tower of Babel.
