Shrinking Supercomputers to a Server Room ft Oded Melamed of Quantum Source

Quantum computers the size of football fields? How about something that actually fits in your office?

In this episode, Oded Melamed, CEO of Quantum Source and former co-founder of Altair (acquired by Sony), joins Yoel Israel to explain how his team is building scalable photonic qubit technology that could shrink massive machines into something that fits inside a standard server room.

We talk about:

- Why today’s quantum computers aren’t big enough to matter

- How photonic qubits can scale to millions (without burning a city’s worth of power)

- Why Naftali Bennett joined Quantum Source’s board

- Israel’s “modest” investment in quantum compared to the U.S. and China

- Oded’s journey from semiconductors to deep tech

- What quantum error correction really means


This is one of the boldest bets in Israeli deep tech, and if Quantum Source succeeds, it could put Israel on the quantum map for good.


👇 Do you think Israel should double down on quantum like the U.S. and China - or stay “modest”? Tell us in the comments.
