Pierre Desjardins holds a Master of Science degree from Columbia University (2013) and later worked for six years as a strategy consultant. He founded the startup C12 in 2020. C12 is leading the next materials leap in quantum computing.

Abstract:

Unlike other quantum computers, C12 uses carbon nanotubes as the fundamental building block of their processor. By combining the power of an ultra-pure material with an easy-to-manufacture semiconductor device, we are building the next-generation quantum computers.
