๐Ÿ’ฒ Atom Computing has raised $101.46M over 8 rounds.
Atom Computing's latest funding round was a Series B - III for USD 10.21M on 4 Jun 2024.

๐Ÿ’ฒ Atom Computing has been selected for inclusion in the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Underexplored Systems for Utility-Scale Quantum Computing (US2QC). Other companies receiving US2QC funding are Microsoft and PSIQuantum. More

๐Ÿ“ฐ 24 Oct 2023: Atom Computing announced it has created a 1,225-site atomic array, currently populated with 1,180 qubits, in its next-generation quantum computing platform. This is the first time a company has crossed the 1,000-qubit threshold for a universal gate-based system, planned for release in 2025. It marks an industry milestone toward fault-tolerant quantum computers capable of solving large-scale problems.

ChatGPT explains fault tolerant computing

"Fault-tolerant quantum computing refers to the ability of a quantum computer to continue functioning properly and deliver accurate results even when some of its components or qubits (quantum bits) are affected by errors or noise.

"In classical computing, errors can occur due to various factors such as electrical noise, hardware failures, or software bugs. Similarly, in quantum computing, errors can arise due to decoherence (loss of quantum information) and other noise sources inherent in quantum systems.

"Fault-tolerant quantum computing aims to mitigate these errors through a variety of techniques, such as error correction codes, quantum error correction protocols, and fault-tolerant quantum gates. These techniques allow quantum computers to detect and correct errors as they occur, thereby preserving the integrity of quantum information and ensuring the reliability of computations.

"Achieving fault tolerance in quantum computing is a significant challenge due to the fragile nature of quantum states and the susceptibility of quantum systems to various sources of noise and decoherence. However, developing fault-tolerant quantum computing capabilities is essential for realizing the full potential of quantum computers and enabling them to solve complex problems that are currently beyond the reach of classical computers."
