Certainly very well said. Group14 Technologies’ advanced battery materials position the company on the forefront of the energy transformation and at a crucial position in the battery manufacturing supply chain. Take a read through Fortune’s recent article below:
Calling batteries the workhorse of the energy transformation, Fortune’s Diane Brady highlighted Group14’s advanced silicon battery material - and how its performance and extreme-fast charging capability are putting us on the front lines of innovation. “What’s really transformational is the ability to charge really fast. Think about what it does to enhance aviation, heavy trucking, industrial applications, medical devices, consumer electronics and every place we currently use energy storage,” said Group14 CEO Rick (Eric) Luebbe.

Photonic Inc. is building the world's first fault-tolerant quantum computer. By demonstrating distributed entanglement between modules, the company can further accelerate its solution that harnesses an innovative quantum computing modality using T-Centre qubits at the intersection of spin qubits and telecom photons. Read the company's full release below:
Exciting news from Photonic Inc. - we've reached a key milestone in distributed entanglement, advancing scalable quantum computing and networking. Our unique architecture addresses scaling challenges by optically entangling remote spins using telecom photons. As Photonic co-founder and Chief Quantum Officer Dr. Stephanie Simmons states, "Entanglement distribution is crucial for large-scale #QuantumComputing...these demonstrations highlight the promise of our distinctive architectural approach to solve the challenge of scaling beyond single nodes." Krysta Svore of co-innovation partner Microsoft adds, "These recent developments showcase a fundamental capability: entanglement distribution over long distances. With these advancements, we’re progressing toward the next stages of networked quantum computing." Top quantum analyst David Shaw of Global Quantum Intelligence, LLC is also weighing in, saying in part, "Photonic has a highly disruptive technology approach...The future path to 200kHz for #DistributedEntanglement with 99.8% fidelity is very striking." Read more about this significant milestone and our advancements in executing a remote gate sequence – the teleported CNOT – between silicon-spin qubits located in different cryostats connected by telecom fiber: https://bit.ly/452Eh0s #DistributedQuantumComputing
💡 A great story by Group14 Technologies. Thank you to Rick (Eric) Luebbe and Rick Costantino for sharing!
When Rick (Eric) Luebbe and Rick Costantino first decided to launch what would become Group14, the co-founders knew that the journey to the electrification of everything would hinge on scaling efficiently and rapidly. Not even a decade later, Group14 now has operations and factories across North America, Europe and Asia, positioning the manufacturer to produce silicon battery technology at scale. “What we’re doing right now is not aspirational. We have the technology, the manufacturing, the infrastructure, and the capability to launch the silicon battery era today,” says CEO Rick Luebbe.
