About Joel Pendleton
Co-founder of Conductor Quantum, building quantum computers on silicon chips with AI. I’ve worked at many deep tech startups and research labs, exploring various quantum computing technologies — from carbon nanotubes to superconducting transmon qubits. I left my PhD at Oxford to start Conductor Quantum.

Conductor Quantum is building quantum superintelligence: AI that operates quantum computers to make scientific discoveries beyond human reach.
Quantum computers let us understand the world at its most fundamental level, the path to new drugs, new materials, and discoveries no human can reach alone.
A quantum computer is the perfect simulator of nature: it encodes the logic of reality into a programmable machine, atom by atom, electron by electron. Give AI that simulator and you open the door to discovery.
The bottleneck is operating the hardware. Today, engineers spend days or weeks by hand to bring a chip to operating conditions for just two qubits. A qubit is the information-carrying unit of a quantum computer, the equivalent of a bit in a classical one, and a useful machine needs billions.
Removing the human from that loop is only half the problem. Every command an AI sends to a quantum computer must be optimised for the specific hardware it runs on.
We build the AI that operates quantum computers and tunes every machine it runs on. That is the path to quantum superintelligence.
