Diamonds in the Rack: Room-Temp Quantum Computing – with Marius Grundmann of SAXON Q

Quantum computing has long been trapped inside massive dilution refrigerators, but SAXON Q is looking to change that. CEO Marius Grundmann joins host Konstantinos Karagiannis breaks down how his company uses artificial diamond chips and atomic-scale NV centers to build fully functional, room-temperature quantum computers that mount directly into standard 19-inch server racks. By leveraging the natural rigidity of diamond crystals to protect delicate nuclear and electron spin qubits from ambient thermal noise, SAXON Q delivers a resilient system capable of running live in data centers without complex cryogenic overhead. Beyond the physics, Grundmann explores why on-prem, rack-mounted quantum hardware is a potential gamechanger for industries handling mission-critical data. From analyzing ultra-sensitive patient medical records completely offline to scaling parallel workloads across multi-processor architectures, he shares how accessible semiconductor manufacturing methods could finally take quantum out of deep-freeze science labs and drive it toward consumer-level pricing.
