Atom Computing Inc. is a quantum computing company headquartered in Berkeley, California with a commercial operations facility in Boulder, Colorado.[1] The company develops quantum computers based on neutral atom technology.

History

Atom Computing was founded by Ben Bloom and Jonathan King in 2018[2] with $5M in seed funding.[3][4]

In 2021 the company secured $15M in Series A funding[5][6] and announced a 100-qubit prototype system.[6][7]

By early 2022 the company secured $60M in Series B funding[8][9] and expanded its activities by opening a commercial operations facility in Boulder, Colorado.[1][10]

In 2023 Atom Computing announced its second-generation quantum computer with over 1,000 qubits.[11][12]

Microsoft and Atom Computing announced in late 2024 that they had been collaborating on a commercial quantum computer that has logical qubits by combining Microsoft's work on quantum error correction with Atom's over-1,000-qubit system.[13][14][15][16][17]

Technology

Atom Computing's technology is based on neutral atoms, specifically alkaline earth(-like) metals such as strontium and ytterbium.[1] By manipulating the atoms in a vacuum chamber with laser beams[3][18], quantum information can be written into the nuclear spin of the atoms to perform gate operations[19][20][21] and execute quantum circuits.

Along with several academic groups, Atom Computing has demonstrated how to use this technology to perform mid-circuit measurements[22] on ancilla qubits[23][24][25][26], create arrays of over 1,000 qubits[27][28][29], and perform entangling gates.[30][31]

In November 2024, Atom Computing, together with researchers from Microsoft, demonstrated the entanglement of 24 logical qubits and running a Bernstein–Vazirani algorithm with 28 logical qubits on Atom Computing's hardware.[32][13][17]

Recognition

In 2024 the Colorado Technology Association recognized Atom Computing as the "Emerging Tech Company of the Year"[33] and Fast Company recognized the company as one of "The 10 most innovative computing companies in 2025".[34]
