Looking to deliver the first commercial machine in 2021
Founded by a highly ambitious team of world-leading scientists who have built several quantum labs and research centers globally over the past two decades.
The team’s pioneering work started with breakthroughs in qubit reset, readout, and thermal management towards large-scale quantum processors. Since then, the work has progressed to unique hardware advantages and novel concepts around digital-analog quantum computing.
Now they have the largest industrial hardware team of world-class quantum experts in Europe with over 640+ scientific publications and over 27000 citations.
“Europe could lead the quantum computing revolution.”
