We're building the world's most powerful computer.

Our mission is to build quantum computers that are useful and available to people everywhere.

Our technology

We are building a quantum computer out of light.

Each qubit is a pulse of light.

We shape those pulses in waveguides etched onto silicon chips, built with processes from the semiconductor industry.

Those pulses are woven into a fabric.

Every pulse is entangled with its neighbors. Measuring the fabric is how a program runs. At the end, measurements collapse it into an answer.

It takes four layers of hardware.

Preparation generates photonic qubits
Refining improves the qubits
Stitching entangles them into a fabric
The QPU measures the fabric to run the program

Then you copy it, a lot. Again, and again, and again.

Connect thousands of these together with ordinary fiber optic cable, and the machine keeps growing, past a million qubits, to problems no GPU cluster, supercomputer, or data center can touch.
