About Atom Computing

atom-computing.com

Atom Computing develops scalable neutral‑atom quantum computers that use individually trapped strontium atoms and ultra‑stable optical‑clock qubits to deliver long coherence times. Their platform combines optical tweezer arrays, precision lasers and Rydberg‑mediated interactions to implement high‑fidelity gates and a path to large‑scale qubit arrays. They offer the hardware and control/software stack (including cloud access) to run quantum simulations, optimization and other applied workloads for research and enterprise customers. Atom Computing collaborates with academic, government and industrial partners to accelerate practical quantum applications and commercialization.
