We build next generation quantum computers

Delivering massive performance improvements with our ytterbium-based neutral atom quantum computing technology.

We develop the industry’s fastest neutral atom quantum computer.
Our architecture combines state-of-the-art protocols with new proprietary technologies to achieve new record level clock rates.

Our Vision

EQCITED combines groundbreaking technology to reach "application readiness" in record time, delivering a performance improvement of 100x. Our goal is to offer cloud-based quantum computing services by 2028.

The Problem

Many impactful questions in e.g. drug discovery, battery design, and optimization cannot be efficiently solved by classical computers. Quantum computing holds the key to solving these challenges.

Our Solution

By utilizing neutral atom quantum computing with ytterbium atoms, EQCITED is developing a quantum computer with significantly enhanced clock rates—a real game changer with regard to the applicability of neutral atom quantum computers.
