Infleqtion

Market position

The company describes itself as the largest full-spectrum commercial quantum technology company and a global leader in neutral-atom quantum technology, and states it is the first neutral atom quantum company to go public. It reports installations in the US, UK, Japan and Australia and hundreds of quantum customers.

Infleqtion positions its neutral-atom platform as spanning computing, sensing, networking and precision timing in one full-stack portfolio, combining hardware with the Superstaq software platform; it cites atomic clocks with more than 100x precision improvements over legacy systems, a world-record dual-species rubidium-cesium entangling gate fidelity, and integrated photonics for size and cost reduction.

Technology

Infleqtion's foundational technology is neutral-atom quantum systems, including cold/ultracold atom sources and atom arrays used both as qubits for quantum computing and as the basis for precision sensors. Products include dual-species (rubidium-cesium) atom-array quantum computers with error correction, the Tiqker optical atomic clock, quantum RF receivers, inertial sensors and quantum cores, supported by the Superstaq compiler/software platform and Contextual Machine Learning. The company is developing photonic integrated circuits to miniaturize laser and photonic subsystems, and reports 235+ issued and pending patents.

Go-to-market

The company sells directly to government and commercial customers and through distributors, and uses strategic go-to-market partners, including a partnership with mission integrator SAIC to expand deployment of quantum sensing technologies into defense and aerospace. It also participates in national programs such as DARPA IMPAQT and HARQ, the U.S. Department of Energy Genesis Mission, Japan's Moonshot program and the UK National Quantum Computing Centre.

Government and defense/intelligence agencies (including the U.S. Department of War/Department of Defense, NASA, DARPA, the U.S. Department of Energy and the UK government), commercial enterprises in space, defense, energy, finance and telecommunications, and research institutions.

Geography

Headquartered in Louisville, Colorado, with additional US sites in Boulder (CO), Chicago (IL) and Madison (WI); a UK Quantum Innovation Centre in Oxford (Kidlington); and an Australian office in Melbourne. Systems are installed in the US, UK, Japan and Australia, with operations described across the U.S., Europe and Asia.

History

Founder Dana Anderson collaborated with a Nobel Prize-winning team between 2000 and 2015 and developed the first ultracold atom chip. From 2015 to 2021 the company moved into initial product development, including hardware deployed on the International Space Station and an algorithm demonstration on a neutral atom computer. In 2022-2023 it began commercialization, being chosen for DARPA's IMPAQT program, selected as inaugural partner for the U.S. Department of Energy Quantum & Space Collaboration, launching its quantum software platform and shipping its first quantum computer to Japan. In 2024 it ran the world's first quantum RF trials, deployed its first RF sensor, achieved 1,600 physical qubits and shipped a quantum computer to the UK National Quantum Computing Centre. In 2025 it demonstrated a materials science application powered by logical qubits with NVIDIA, launched a CML application, announced an Illinois quantum computer, partnered commercially with Safran, unveiled a roadmap for 100 logical qubits by 2028 and deployed an optical clock on an autonomous submarine with the Royal Navy. In 2026 it became the first neutral atom quantum company to go public, announced plans with NASA to fly a quantum gravity sensor to space, won an ARPA-E quantum computing partnership, delivered the UK's only 100-qubit quantum computer, was selected as the only quantum hardware company in DARPA's HARQ software track, introduced Quantum Spectrum, set a dual-species entangling gate fidelity record, signed a $100 million letter of intent with the U.S. Department of Commerce and launched America's Quantum Space Initiative.
