⚡ Quantum Brief
Conductor’s new “Build Something Quantum” platform slashes quantum chip design time by 90%, potentially revolutionizing hardware development. The proprietary methodology remains undisclosed, but early results suggest a major leap in accelerating quantum technology deployment. The startup was co-founded by CEO Brandon Severin, a former Oxford postdoc who pioneered AI-driven qubit formation in silicon. His work includes high-fidelity hot-silicon-qubit research published in Nature and five years developing quantum AI. CTO Joel Pendleton left his Oxford PhD to launch Conductor, bringing expertise in machine learning for superconducting qubits. He previously built control software at QuantrolOx and researched scaling quantum systems at Quantum Motion and C12. Founding Engineer Raymond Jow, ex-SpaceX, contributed mission-critical code for 100+ Falcon 9 flights. His background spans NASA robotics and quantum machine learning research at Cornell, bridging aerospace and quantum engineering. Conductor’s vision is to make quantum computing effortless, removing design bottlenecks. The platform’s waitlist is now open, targeting researchers and developers to democratize quantum chip creation.

Conductor has developed the “Build Something Quantum” platform, a novel approach to chip design intended to reduce development timelines significantly. This platform utilizes a unique methodology to achieve a reported 90% reduction in chip design time. The system’s architecture and specific techniques are not detailed in the initial documentation, but the demonstrated impact suggests a substantial advancement in the field of quantum computing hardware development. This innovation promises to accelerate the creation of new quantum technologies by streamlining a historically lengthy and complex process. Co-Founder & CEO Brandon Severin has spent half a decade developing AI for quantum computing in silicon. He was previously a postdoctoral researcher at Oxford, where he published four papers in Nature journals, including work on high-fidelity hot-silicon-qubit architectures, and helped develop the first AI algorithms that automatically form a qubit in a semiconductor chip. Brandon holds an MEng in Materials Science and a PhD from Oxford. Co-Founder & CTO Joel Pendleton founded Conductor after leaving his PhD at Oxford on machine learning for scaling quantum computers. Previously, he built full-stack, machine-learning–based control software for superconducting qubits at QuantrolOx, following machine learning and research roles at Quantum Motion, C12, and the London Centre for Nanotechnology. Joel holds an MSc in Physics from University College London.

Founding Engineer Raymond Jow previously worked at SpaceX as a guidance, navigation, and control software engineer. His code flew on 100+ Falcon 9 missions across the full rocket lifecycle, from simulation to landing. Before that, Raymond conducted robotics research at NASA and quantum machine learning research at Cornell. Raymond holds a BS in Physics and Computer Science from Harvard. Our vision is to make quantum computing feel effortless, so the next era of discovery is limited only by what we dare to imagine.
