Quantum startups

The early-stage companies betting on each modality. Names and modality assignments are verified; founding years, headquarters and specs are deliberately left unverified rather than invented.

APPLICATIONS · SECURITY · SENSING value varies by use case CLOUD ACCESS available now, mostly research CONTROL · MIDDLEWARE · ERROR CORRECTION needed throughout QUANTUM HARDWARE long cycles, high capital ENABLING INFRASTRUCTURE cryogenics · lasers · control electronics, commercial today
All Superconducting circuits Trapped ions Neutral atoms Photonic Silicon spin qubits Topological Quantum annealing Software & error suppression
CompanyModalityStatusApproach
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.

Directory facts policy: this field's numbers change quarterly, and wrong numbers destroy credibility. Founding years, headquarters, funding and device specs render as "to verify" until checked against primary sources. Never a recommendation of any company.
