Today's systems cost around €50M to buy, plus heavy power and infrastructure costs. We aim for a low unit cost and limited power use, so the business case finally adds up.
Quantum computing. Affordable, deployable, scalable.
We develop neutral-atom quantum computing hardware for high-performance computing, built in the Brainport region of the Netherlands.
Our vision
Quantum is almost ready for industrial simulation. The business case isn't.
Current machines are science experiments in a box, with specialist maintenance and limited uptime. Ours are bought, installed and used like normal HPC systems, in standard server racks.
Few quantum computers exist, and building them is slow and labour-intensive. We design for series manufacturing from the local, world-leading supply chain: thousands of systems, not one.
Technology
The atom is the qubit. Light is the wiring.
Neutral atoms
Individual atoms, trapped and arranged with laser light, act as identical qubits in large, reconfigurable arrays.
Rydberg interactions
Exciting atoms into Rydberg states switches their interactions on demand, enabling fast, programmable entangling gates.
No cryogenics
Neutral atoms need no cryogenic cooling, so our systems are far simpler, use shorter lead-time components and fit in standard server racks.
Patents pendingOur pending patents let calculations run faster, take on more complex problems and make our systems simpler to produce than other neutral-atom computers.
The Atomic Accelerator
An accelerator, not a replacement. Our Atomic Accelerator sits in the rack next to today's GPU accelerators and augments classical HPC for specific use cases, better energy efficiency and greater computational complexity.

Engineered in Brainport Eindhoven
We build in one of Europe's densest high-tech regions, close to the photonics, precision-engineering and semiconductor supply chain that makes reliable series manufacturing possible.

FAQ
You have questions. We have answers.
Individual atoms are trapped and arranged with focused laser light and used as qubits. Exciting them into high-energy Rydberg states lets neighbouring atoms interact, which is how quantum logic operations are performed.
Our Atomic Accelerator is designed to be bought, installed and used like a normal HPC system. It fits in standard racks next to today's GPU accelerators and takes on the specific problems classical hardware struggles with.
No. Neutral atoms don't need cryogenics, which makes our systems far simpler than other quantum platforms and lets us use components with shorter lead times.
HPC centres buy and host our systems, then rent time on the machine to end users such as high-tech and engineering companies. We work with those end users and their software suppliers so every system serves a real business case.
