Unternehmensverzeichnis
Wer was baut, über alle sieben Hardware-Modalitäten und die Software-Schicht hinweg. Namen und Modalitätszuordnungen sind verifiziert; quantitative Angaben bleiben außen vor, bis sie mit Primärquellen abgeglichen wurden.
| Unternehmen | Modalität | Status | Ansatz | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
IBM | superconducting | public IBM | The largest superconducting program: processors on the cloud since 2016, an open software stack (Qiskit), and a public roadmap toward error-corrected systems. |
|
Google Quantum AI | superconducting | subsidiary GOOGL (Alphabet) | Alphabet's superconducting effort. The 2019 supremacy-benchmark claim and prominent below-threshold error-correction demonstrations. |
|
|
Rigetti Computing | superconducting | public RGTI | A public pure-play building superconducting chips and full systems, with its own fabrication facility and cloud access. |
|
IQM | superconducting | private | Europe's largest superconducting startup, selling on-premise systems to research centers and building co-design processors. |
|
|
Fujitsu / RIKEN | superconducting | research-lab | A Japanese industrial-academic partnership producing domestic superconducting systems and hybrid quantum-classical platforms. |
|
|
AWS (Amazon) | superconducting | subsidiary AMZN (Amazon) | Amazon's hardware effort focuses on error-corrected cat-qubit architectures, alongside the Braket cloud service offering other vendors' machines. |
|
Alice & Bob | superconducting | private | French startup building 'cat qubits'. Superconducting qubits designed to suppress bit-flip errors by construction, aiming to shrink error-correction overhead. |
|
IonQ | trapped-ion | public IONQ | The first pure-play quantum company to list publicly; trapped-ion systems available through all major clouds. |
| Q | Quantinuum | trapped-ion | subsidiary majority-owned by Honeywell (HON) | Formed from Honeywell Quantum Solutions and Cambridge Quantum; trapped-ion hardware plus a large software arm, with prominent logical-qubit results. |
| A | Alpine Quantum Technologies | trapped-ion | private | Austrian spin-out from Innsbruck's ion-trapping groups, selling compact rack-mounted trapped-ion systems. |
| U | Universal Quantum | trapped-ion | private | UK company pursuing large-scale trapped-ion machines linked by electric-field chip-to-chip connections rather than optics. |
|
QuEra | neutral-atom | private | Boston neutral-atom company from Harvard/MIT research, known for large programmable arrays and error-correction collaborations. |
|
|
Pasqal | neutral-atom | private | French neutral-atom company co-founded by a physics Nobel laureate, selling systems to HPC centers. |
| A | Atom Computing | neutral-atom | private | US neutral-atom company that announced large-array machines and partners with Microsoft on error-corrected demonstrations. |
| I | Infleqtion | neutral-atom | private | Neutral-atom computing plus a revenue-generating quantum-sensing business (formerly ColdQuanta). |
| p | planqc | neutral-atom | private | Munich startup from the Max Planck ecosystem building neutral-atom machines for European HPC centers. |
|
PsiQuantum | photonic | private | The best-funded private quantum company; skipping NISQ entirely to build a million-qubit fault-tolerant photonic machine using semiconductor fabs. |
| X | Xanadu | photonic | private | Canadian photonic company behind the PennyLane software library and photonic sampling demonstrations. |
|
|
Quandela | photonic | private | French photonic company building single-photon sources and cloud-accessible photonic processors. |
| O | ORCA Computing | photonic | private | UK photonic company using fiber-based memory to make photonic processing practical at room temperature. |
|
|
Microsoft | topological | public MSFT | The deliberate outlier: topological qubits designed to be error-resistant by physics. Hardest science, biggest payoff if it works; Azure Quantum meanwhile offers other vendors' machines. |
|
|
Intel | silicon-spin | public INTC | Betting that qubits should be built like transistors: silicon spin qubits made on standard 300mm wafers. |
| D | Diraq | silicon-spin | private | Sydney spin-out commercializing decades of UNSW silicon-qubit research. |
| Q | Quantum Motion | silicon-spin | private | UK company building silicon spin qubits with standard CMOS processes. |
| S | Silicon Quantum Computing | silicon-spin | private | Australian company placing individual phosphorus atoms in silicon with atomic precision. |
| Q | Quobly | silicon-spin | private | French (CEA-Leti spin-off) silicon-spin company leveraging the Grenoble microelectronics ecosystem. |
|
D-Wave | annealing | public QBTS | The annealing pioneer. Commercial machines for years, thousands of qubits, and an honest asterisk: annealing is purpose-built for optimization, not universal gate-model computing. |
| Q | Q-CTRL | software | private | Quantum control and error-suppression software that improves other people's hardware: plus a sensing division. |
| C | Classiq | software | private | High-level quantum algorithm design: describe the function, synthesize the circuit for any hardware. |
|
Multiverse Computing | software | private | Spanish company applying quantum and quantum-inspired algorithms (notably tensor networks) to finance and industry: including AI-model compression. |
Verzeichnis-Fakten-Richtlinie: Die Zahlen in diesem Bereich ändern sich vierteljährlich, und falsche Zahlen zerstören Glaubwürdigkeit. Gründungsjahre, Hauptsitze, Finanzierungen und Gerätespezifikationen werden als „zu prüfen" angezeigt, bis sie mit Primärquellen abgeglichen wurden. Niemals eine Empfehlung für ein Unternehmen.
