Chris Roberts participated in a roundtable discussion on modelling a quantum technology exchange-traded fund (ETF), hosted by Dark Star Quantum Lab on March 29, 2021. During the event, he discussed the origins and goals of his company, stating that it was formed with the idea that "if everybody else is building the machines who's going to build the software might as well be us," and that the aim is to define the standard for quantum computing software. He noted that the company has released several products in this area. Roberts also offered his perspective on quantum computing as a technology, describing it as "a different way of solving problems" rather than simply a faster computer. He said that quantum computing is not intended to replace existing computing but to enable solutions to problems that cannot be solved today, particularly non-deterministic problems. He referenced public announcements by Google and Beijing regarding quantum supremacy, suggesting that such claims often overlook this distinction.
