Strangeworks, the Austin-based quantum computing company known for making advanced compute accessible, is planting deeper roots globally with a major expansion into India and Sri Lanka. The move marks a strategic leap for the company, extending its existing footprint in the U.S., Europe, and Japan to one of the most rapidly advancing regions in quantum and AI technology.

Pathy Iyer, Director of India Sales and Marketing, Strangeworks

At the heart of this expansion is a simple but bold idea: empower more people (enterprise researchers, engineers, and scientists) to harness the power of quantum and AI without needing a PhD in theoretical physics. Strangeworks’ platform provides access to the largest catalog of quantum, quantum-inspired, and classical compute tools, abstracting away complexity so users can focus on solving real-world problems.

And in India, the timing couldn’t be better.

With its National Quantum Mission (NQM) funneling hundreds of millions into developing indigenous quantum capabilities, India is fast becoming a global hub for next-gen computing. Add to that a vibrant ecosystem of startups, top-tier research institutions, and cross-sector demand from industries like energy, pharma, finance, and logistics, and it’s clear: the region is primed for a quantum leap.

Strangeworks is no stranger to India’s quantum scene. Since 2022, the company has collaborated with BQP, a Quantum-Accelerated Digital Twin software company with Indian origin, to explore real-world applications of quantum-inspired computing—including engineering simulations for high-performance race cars. That partnership not only validated the market—it set the tone for what comes next.

To lead regional growth, Strangeworks has tapped industry veteran Pathy Iyer as Director of India Sales and Marketing. Based in Bengaluru, Pathy brings nearly 30 years of experience from HP, Agilent, and Keysight, where he focused on tech for research and education. He’ll be responsible for forging strategic partnerships, supporting customers, and aligning Strangeworks’ global mission with regional needs.

“India’s bold investments in quantum and AI make it one of the most exciting markets on the planet,” said Steven Gibson, Chief Commercial Officer of Strangeworks. “With Pathy at the helm and strong regional partnerships in place, we’re bolstering our mission to democratize advanced computing globally.”

Pathy is equally enthusiastic. “The potential for quantum and AI to revolutionize industries here is immense,” he said. “Strangeworks has the platform to make that potential real, fast.”

With support from its European teams and centralized marketing operations, Strangeworks aims to offer seamless onboarding and consistent service quality across new regions. But make no mistake—this isn’t just a geographic expansion. It’s a mission move: accelerating access to transformative technologies where the appetite for innovation is sky-high.

Diodes Incorporated has announced two new ideal diode controllers with a wide input voltage range, low quiescent current, and overvoltage lockout protection.

Ok I'm not a noob but I haven't built anything for a long long time, this PCB circuit was a complete fail haha I didn't expect to have issues with it but it's on me for not thinking properly. Simple OpAmp driving a class B output stage (unbiased, the opamp is fast enough to prevent crossover distortion) I was using TO-3 transistors with 30 volts power supply input. This circuit worked great on a breadboard. I thought I could hack together a PCB and instead of taking time to do proper design I just hack and slashed the PCB "pads" with a dremel bit. Probably not the best idea... The amplifier simply refused to amplify symmetrically - almost all the signal was in the upper NPN transistor, and in fact I could hear the output capacitor vibrating at the 1Khz tone I was feeding into the circuit. See that potentiometer? It was meant to adjust the OpAmp's voltage on the positive input so I could fine tune the symmetry of the amplifier, but it wouldn't affect anything. The upper NPN would get super hot and the PNP wasn't do much at all. Also the circuit was drawing like 250ma without any input signal (whereas when it was on the breadboard it would only draw 5ma, because the OPAMP was keeping the transistors off when there was no signal) At first I thought I possibly had a bad connection somewhere, like wired wrong I looked at this thing for a few hours, all the parts were in the right place. I could not find any weird shorts either. Tested different sections with a multimeter to see. The main thing that would always come back wrong was the voltage on the OPamp + input, it was like in millivolt range, I even replaced the POT and still nothing. I think it was probably oscillating, you can see my thicker output wires? They *twice* cross over the wires that are inputs to the transistor base. Ya, that's probably a really stupid thing to do. Power transistors with a gain of around 70 (beta). Anyway, I don't know how I though this was ever going to work LOL. I guess I should have more patience next time and design a proper layout. Probably use perfboard instead I was using big TO-3 transistors and attaching them to a heatsink . I cut the transistors off of this board . I put them back into my circuit on a breadboard and everything works perfectly again haha. So ya, layout is important DERP. One thing I didn't think to try was lowering the gain of the OpAmp to see if it was oscillating. Right now the gain is at 33 (AC gain) I could have tried dropping that to like 5 to see if it changed anything. Anyway, time to start over and build a proper board that keeps the input lines well away from the higher current output lines. submitted by /u/Perfect-Campaign9551 [link] [comments]

This isn't a gender changer. It's a gender conformer. Plug one gender DE-9 into one end, get that same gender on the other. At best, it's a ⅞" extension "cord". And before anyone suggests it can turn a straight-through cable into a cross-over cable, or vice-versa, I've already signal-traced the pins. It's 1:1. So, what's the most useless bit of kit you have? submitted by /u/EmbeddedSoftEng [link] [comments]
