Peter Sarlin, who founded Silo AI before its reported $665 million sale to AMD, has launched a new startup focused on the next computing shift: quantum. The venture, called Qutwo, is pitching a pragmatic entry point for enterprises that want to explore quantum use cases before reliable “quantum advantage” is widely available. Sarlin is building the company out of Helsinki-based venture builder PostScriptum, framing it as part of a broader effort to keep European industry competitive as quantum capabilities mature.
The company is developing Qutwo OS, an AI-driven simulation layer that models quantum workloads on classical hardware so teams can test ideas, redesign workflows, and identify where quantum could matter without needing access to early-stage quantum machines. Sarlin has compared the moment to AI’s shift from CPUs to GPUs, arguing that adoption often hinges on compute access and workflow adaptation as much as breakthrough algorithms. Qutwo says it has already signed more than €20 million in contracts across sectors including finance, energy, logistics, and e-commerce, and has recruited researchers with backgrounds spanning major academic institutions.
