Quantonation was founded by Christophe Jurczak, a physicist who worked in quantum research and then helped bring quantum technology to market before starting Pasqal and Quantonation, and the fund uses that scientific background to carefully separate real quantum breakthroughs from exaggerated claims, even funding very early research projects before a company forms. It defines quantum broadly to include related physics fields like materials and photonics, favors companies that build both the hardware and software together, and is now setting up a venture studio to help new quantum projects grow from the earliest stages.
