Luminar Ventures interviews FirstQFM CEO Vish Ramakrishnan.

Luminar Ventures published a Founder Series interview with Vish Ramakrishnan, CEO and Co-founder of FirstQFM. The interview covers FirstQFM's work on machine learning foundation models for quantum computing, starting with calibration for superconducting quantum hardware.

The conversation focuses on one of quantum computing's central scaling problems: how to operate increasingly large quantum systems without relying on manual calibration or narrow, task-specific models.

The interview also discusses FirstQFM's work that reduced gate execution time while improving fidelity on state-of-the-art quantum hardware, and closes with FirstQFM's broader mission to improve the performance and scalability of quantum computers through the use of machine learning foundation models.
