Atom Computing is a U.S. quantum hardware company building large‑scale, gate‑based quantum computers using neutral‑atom qubits trapped by laser arrays (optical tweezers). Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Berkeley, California, with a major R&D hub in Boulder, Colorado, the company has become one of the leading players in the neutral‑atom modality.
In the global race toward universal quantum computing, one of the most formidable bottlenecks has been hardware overhead. Traditional superconducting quantum processors, such as those relying on standard transmons, require up to 1,000 physical qubits to build a single error-corrected logical qubit.
