Vector Atomic is a California‑based quantum sensing company founded in 2018 (spun out of Lawrence Livermore National Lab) that builds field‑validated atomic clocks, gravimeters, and inertial sensors for positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) in GPS‑denied or contested environments. In September 2025, IonQ (NYSE: IONQ) announced an all‑stock acquisition of Vector Atomic, which closed in October 2025, integrating Vector’s sensing portfolio into IonQ’s computing and networkin

PlanQC is a German full‑stack quantum computing company building industry‑relevant machines using neutral atoms trapped in light as qubits. Instead of superconducting circuits that need extreme cryogenics, PlanQC's approach uses optical lattices/tweezers to hold identical atoms (e.g., strontium) in vacuum, enabling hundreds of physical qubits with flexible connectivity and a credible path to scale. The company covers the full stack: hardware, quantum OS/control software, algo

What Infleqtion Is Infleqtion is a publicly listed quantum hardware and software company (NYSE: INFQ) that builds neutral‑atom quantum computers, quantum sensors (including optical atomic clocks), and full‑stack software to run real workloads in energy, defense, finance, and materials science. Company Snapshot Item Details Legal name / Ticker Infleqtion, Inc. (NYSE: INFQ) HQ Louisville, Colorado, USA (with major hubs in Chicago, Oxford UK, and Australia) Core tech Neutral‑ato

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.

Pasqal is a France-headquartered quantum computing company that builds neutral-atom quantum processors and full-stack software for industry, science, and government users. In 2026, the company is making a decisive move from research to industrial deployment: it has raised at least €340 million in new capital, entered a definitive business combination to go public on Nasdaq (with a pre-money valuation of $2 billion), and demonstrated that its logical qubits can outperform phys

QuEra’s core idea: use individual neutral rubidium atoms as qubits, trapped by focused laser beams (“optical tweezers”) and arranged into reconfigurable 2D arrays. Because every rubidium atom is physically identical, QuEra avoids fabrication variability that affects solid‑state qubits.
