The physicist and venture capitalist Alexandra Vidyuk is our guest in this episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast. She is the chief executive and founding partner of Beyond Earth Ventures, which provides funding and support to early-stage companies in deep-tech sectors including space, robotics and energy.
In conversation with Physics World’s Margaret Harris, Vidyuk explains how her BSc in applied mathematics and physics and her early career in banking and fintech set her on a path to deep-tech venture capital.
Vidyuk talks about the specific challenges facing deep-tech entrepreneurs and reveals what she looks for when deciding which companies to fund. She also emphasizes the importance of building an organization that understands its customers and can communicate effectively with them.

Machine learning algorithms are computational methods that enable computers to learn from and make predictions based on data. These algorithms can identify patterns, classify data, and improve their performance over time without being explicitly programmed for each task.
Machine learning is a subset of AI that focuses on the development of algorithms that can learn from and make predictions based on data. In physics, machine learning techniques are applied to analyze experimental data, optimize simulations, and even discover new physical phenomena, thereby enhancing the research process.
Quantum computing is a type of computation that utilizes the principles of quantum mechanics to process information. Unlike classical computers, which use bits as the smallest unit of data, quantum computers use quantum bits or qubits, allowing them to perform complex calculations at unprecedented speeds.
