Company profile
researched Aug 2026Entropica Labs is a Singapore-based quantum computing software company developing the software layer between quantum hardware and applications, focused on quantum error correction (QEC) and fault-tolerant execution. The company frames its objective as closing the "programmability gap" that prevents fault-tolerant quantum computing from being useful at scale, positioning its work at the intersection of QEC theory and production software.
Its stack spans three stages. Design comprises Entwine, a graphical IDE for building, running and analysing fault-tolerant QEC circuits, and BlockForge, a library of verified, reusable fault-tolerant building blocks (from gate sets to arithmetic subroutines) with known resource costs and inherited correctness guarantees; both emit Loom-ready code. Compile centres on Loom, described as the company's centrepiece product: a large-scale compiler that converts logical-level quantum computations into hardware-specific fault-tolerant circuits by automating QEC code design and analysis, error correction injection, and physical-level translation, and by generating hybrid quantum-classical code for real control stacks. Loom is built around EKA, a hardware-agnostic, serialisable and queryable data structure that carries QEC context across layers of the stack. Deploy is handled by Quilt, which packages Loom's fault-tolerant outputs into compact, contextual instructions that partner control stacks can unpack and execute. The company also offers Loom Design, a free, open-source environment built on Entwine and BlockForge for visually designing lattice surgery circuits, simulating noise, benchmarking thresholds and exporting Loom-ready code, with Stim simulation demonstrated.
Founding story
Entropica Labs was co-founded by Tommaso Demarie (CEO), who holds a PhD in quantum information theory from Macquarie University and was previously a postdoctoral researcher at SUTD and Singapore's Centre for Quantum Technologies, and Ewan Munro (CTO), who holds a PhD in theoretical physics from the Centre for Quantum Technologies in Singapore and a master's in mathematical physics from the University of Edinburgh.
Business model
Entropica supplies QEC and fault-tolerance software infrastructure to organisations building or using quantum computers, and works through partnerships and integrations with hardware and control-stack vendors. It also maintains an open-source entry point, Loom Design, alongside its commercial compiler and deployment tooling. The sources do not state pricing or contract structures.
Traction
Public evidence of traction consists of partnerships and integrations rather than disclosed commercial metrics: a December 2024 partnership with Xanadu integrating PennyLane and Catalyst with Entropica's EKA; joint work with Quantum Machines demonstrated at AQC25 (November 2025) using Loom with the OPX and presented as a real-time end-to-end QEC testbed at Q2B in December 2025; MOUs with Yaqumo (January 2026) and Quobly (February 2026); availability of the Loom QEC framework on qBraid Lab (March 2026); a Startup SG Tech grant from Enterprise Singapore (August 2024); appointment of Chad Rigetti to the board (November 2024); and research outputs in 2024-2025. One aggregator lists 30 employees and $1.8M total funding.
Latest developments
The most recent reported items are the availability of the Loom QEC framework on qBraid Lab for surface-code simulation, decoding and experiments (March 2026), an MOU with Quobly to embed error correction at the architectural level for silicon-based quantum systems (February 2026), an MOU with Yaqumo Inc. on system-level hardware-software co-design (January 2026), and a $1.8M seed round reported in July 2026.
▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history, risks & controversies
Market position
Entropica positions itself as a hardware-agnostic infrastructure provider bridging theoretical QEC models and usable tools, rather than a hardware manufacturer or algorithm developer. Executives at partner companies characterise it as an ecosystem enabler: Xanadu's COO cites its QEC expertise and PennyLane integration, and Quantum Machines' CEO describes its automation-first error-correction approach as complementary to their quantum control stack.
Differentiators cited by the company include a single unified stack spanning QEC design, compilation and deployment; automation of QEC code design, error-correction injection and physical-level translation in the Loom compiler; the EKA data structure that preserves QEC context across layers and remains hardware-agnostic; a library of verified, reusable fault-tolerant blocks with known resource costs; and an open-source design environment accessible to both students and researchers.
Technology
The technology combines quantum error correction theory with production software engineering. Core components are Entwine (visual IDE for fault-tolerant circuit design), BlockForge (verified reusable fault-tolerant primitives with known resource costs), Loom (compiler translating logical QEC instructions into hardware-specific fault-tolerant circuits and hybrid quantum-classical code), and Quilt (packaging and hand-off of compiled programs to control stacks). Loom's internal representation, EKA, is a hardware-agnostic data structure intended as a single source of truth from algorithm to hardware. Work covers lattice surgery circuit design, noise simulation (including Stim), threshold benchmarking, surface code workflows, and published research on compiling stabilizer circuits and fault-tolerant embedding of circuits on hardware architectures via swap gates, including planar surface code on heavy-hexagonal lattices.
Go-to-market
The company reaches customers through direct engagement with hardware teams, researchers and developers, ecosystem partnerships and integrations (Xanadu's PennyLane and Catalyst, Quantum Machines' OPX control hardware, qBraid Lab), memoranda of understanding with hardware developers (Quobly, Yaqumo), conference presence and talks (Q2B Silicon Valley, AQC25, IEEE 2025, Qiskit Fall Fest), community activities such as a two-week global QEC challenge using Entwine, and an open-source toolkit (Loom Design) as a funnel into the commercial stack.
Quantum computing hardware teams (integrating fault tolerance into hardware roadmaps, validating QEC architectures, prototyping logical-qubit designs and estimating resource overheads), software teams compiling and benchmarking fault-tolerant programs, algorithm companies wanting verified fault-tolerant building blocks without rebuilding the QEC layer, and research institutions designing and simulating new QEC codes.
Geography
Headquartered in Singapore, with team members and activity extending internationally (one team member reported as living between Italy and Singapore) and participation in events and partnerships in the United States, Europe and Japan-linked organisations.
History
Public milestones begin with research publications in mid-2024 (fault-tolerant embedding of quantum circuits via swap gates, June 2024; compiling stabilizer circuits for QEC, July 2024), followed by an Enterprise Singapore Startup SG Tech grant in August 2024, the appointment of Chad Rigetti to the board in November 2024, and a partnership with Xanadu in December 2024. In 2025 the company ran a global QEC challenge around Entwine (May), presented Loom-Catalyst integration at IEEE (August), introduced Loom Design at Qiskit Fall Fest Paris (November), demonstrated real-time QEC work with Quantum Machines at AQC25 and Q2B (November-December), and published research on system-level QEC bottlenecks (December). In 2026 it signed MOUs with Yaqumo (January) and Quobly (February) and made Loom available on qBraid Lab (March).
Risks & controversies
The sources do not report controversies. Notable uncertainties: funding disclosed publicly is small ($1.8M seed per a single aggregator, with investors not named), commercial revenue and customer counts are not disclosed, and the business depends on the maturation of fault-tolerant quantum hardware and on partnerships with hardware and control-stack vendors.
