Making the

impossible possible

while staying true to the science

Our experts across multiple fields of study and research areas are conducting pivotal research and accelerating the path to universal, fully fault-tolerant quantum computing.

Research Areas

Delivering on the promise of quantum computing

Hardware

Hardware is the foundation on which everything else rests. Our world-class team is laser-focused on building the highest fidelity, most flexible hardware in existence.

Cryptography

Quantum computers have the potential to "break" modern cryptography as we know it. We are working to keep your data safe in a post-quantum world

Chemistry

By simulating chemical systems at an atomic level, our team is solving complex chemical problems ranging from materials design to battery-solvent degradation.

Compositional Intelligence

We are developing a new kind of AI—compositional intelligence—that promises to tackle some of the biggest outstanding problems in the field, such as interpretability.

AI/Machine Learning

Quantum AI and machine learning will look a lot different from the classical AI we’re used to. Our team remains on the cutting-edge of this emerging field.

Quantum Information Science

Like computer science, quantum information science is at the core of how our hardware works. We are making strides in fault tolerance, algorithms, and more.

Physics

In the words of Richard Feynman, “If you want to make a simulation of nature, you'd better make it quantum mechanical.” Our teams are doing just that, working on everything from Hamiltonian simulation to high-energy physics.

Computer Science

It goes without saying that computer science and algorithms are at the heart of our machines. We work on everything from algorithms you can use tomorrow to studies of what it will take to perform things we can barely imagine.

Mathematics

We both use and study mathematics with our computers, from using category theory to developing new tools in natural language processing to solving pernicious problems in knot theory that are classically intractable.
