Quantum Source Photonic
Photonic FTQC bet on the ORIGIN deterministic-photon source — designed to avoid PsiQuantum's probabilistic-gate overhead.

Bull case
▲ upsideIf the ORIGIN engine produces deterministic photons at demo scale, PsiQuantum partners or acquires; Quantum Source becomes the photonic source IP standard. Potential JV partner in the proposed $200M US-Israel quantum/AI fund.
Bear case
▼ downsidePhotonic FTQC is a 2030+ story regardless; cap table is too thin for the capex required at scale; Israeli funding stays research-grade not procurement-grade.
Ledger Score · Quantum Source
The Ledger reads sceptical
The photonic dark horse with a deterministic-photon-source story that could leapfrog PsiQuantum's overhead problem.
