Infleqtion

Infleqtion is a global quantum technology company founded on Nobel Prize–winning research and recognised as the largest full-spectrum commercial quantum technology company in the world. The company designs and builds quantum computers, quantum sensors and quantum software for governments, enterprises and research institutions. Its portfolio includes neutral-atom quantum computers, quantum RF systems, atomic clocks, inertial sensing products and integrated photonic systems. Infleqtion’s mission is to commercialise atom-based quantum products that deliver major improvements in sensing and computing applications.

The company employs over 130 PhD physicists and engineers and holds more than 230 patents issued and pending. Its technology has been deployed across the United States, United Kingdom, Japan and Australia, serving hundreds of quantum customers. Infleqtion works with major organisations including NASA, US Army, US Navy, US Air Force, Department of Energy, DARPA, ESA, JP Morgan, NVIDIA, BAE Systems, Thales, UKRI, NIST, Royal Navy, Qinetiq, LG, CSL Behring, NREL and many others.

Infleqtion’s core technology is neutral-atom quantum computing, which provides high scalability and precision. The company’s roadmap targets more than 100 logical qubits by 2028, supported by advanced error correction using dual-species atom arrays and low-crosstalk measurements. In 2024, Infleqtion achieved a record of 1,600 physical qubits and shipped quantum computers to the UK National Quantum Computing Centre and Japan. In 2025, the company announced an Illinois quantum computer and delivered its first materials science and contextual machine learning applications.

Infleqtion also leads in quantum sensing, offering products such as the Tiqker Atomic Clock, quantum RF receivers and inertial sensors for applications in defence, energy, space, navigation, security and critical infrastructure. Its integrated photonics programme reduces size, cost and complexity by embedding laser and photonic systems into photonic-integrated circuits.

Founded by Professor Dana Anderson, Infleqtion traces its innovation history from early ultracold atom research to International Space Station deployments and major government programmes. The company has received awards including R&D 100, Time Best Inventions, Laser Focus World and multiple military and photonics honours.

Headquartered in Louisville, Colorado, Infleqtion operates offices in Boulder, Chicago, Madison, Oxford and Melbourne. Its leadership team includes CEO Matt Kinsella, CTO and co-founder Pranav Gokhale and senior executives across government, technology, finance and commercial operations. Infleqtion delivers quantum solutions across national security, space, energy, AI, life sciences, materials science and finance.

Infleqtion was founded from long-term academic and scientific work led by Professor Dana Anderson, whose research into ultracold atoms and quantum physics formed the basis of the company’s technology. In the early 2000s, Anderson collaborated closely with a group of scientists that included Nobel Prize–winning researchers, focusing on atom cooling, trapping and quantum control. During this period, Anderson developed one of the world’s first ultracold atom chips, a key step in making quantum systems more stable, compact and scalable. These early developments established the core scientific foundation on which Infleqtion would later be built.

Between 2000 and 2015, the team continued advancing neutral-atom control, quantum measurement and atomic sensor technology. This work led to major progress in both quantum computing and quantum sensing. The research programmes gained strong backing from US government agencies and defence organisations, recognising the importance of quantum technologies for national security, navigation, communication and scientific research. The technology matured from laboratory experiments into practical systems that could operate in real-world environments.

From 2015 to 2021, the organisation moved from research into product development. During this period, Infleqtion’s technology was deployed on the International Space Station, marking a major milestone for atom-based quantum systems operating in space conditions. The company also demonstrated important quantum algorithms on its neutral-atom quantum computers, proving that its approach could support real computing workloads. These achievements helped attract growing interest from government laboratories, universities and commercial partners.

In 2022 and 2023, Infleqtion entered its first phase of commercialisation. The company was selected for the DARPA IMPAQT programme, which supports advanced quantum research for defence applications. It also became the inaugural partner for the US Department of Energy’s Quantum and Space Collaboration, strengthening its role in national quantum infrastructure. During this period, Infleqtion launched its quantum software platform and shipped its first quantum computer to Japan, expanding its international presence.

The pace of development increased in 2024. Infleqtion conducted the world’s first quantum RF field trials and deployed its first operational RF sensor. The company reached a record of 1,600 physical qubits on its neutral-atom quantum system, one of the highest qubit counts achieved using this architecture. It also shipped a quantum computer to the UK National Quantum Computing Centre, supporting the UK’s national quantum programme.

In 2025, Infleqtion advanced further into commercial deployment. It delivered the world’s first materials science application running on its quantum platform and launched a new contextual machine learning application. The company announced the installation of a major quantum computer in the state of Illinois, strengthening its role in the US quantum ecosystem.

Infleqtion operates as the largest full-spectrum commercial quantum technology company, designing and delivering quantum computers, sensors and software for governments, enterprises and research institutions. With active deployments across the United States, United Kingdom, Japan and Australia, hundreds of customers, over 130 PhD scientists and engineers, and more than 230 patents, Infleqtion continues to expand its global presence while building scalable, fault-tolerant quantum systems for real-world use.

Quantum Computing is one of Infleqtion’s core offerings. The company develops neutral-atom quantum computers that use arrays of carefully controlled atoms as qubits. These systems are designed for scalability and long-term stability. Infleqtion’s quantum computers include full hardware platforms, control systems and software tools. The company has already shipped quantum computers to major institutions in Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States, including the UK National Quantum Computing Centre and the State of Illinois. Its computing roadmap targets more than 100 logical qubits by 2028, supported by advanced error correction and low-crosstalk atom control.

Contextual Machine Learning combines quantum processing with advanced classical computing methods to solve complex problems that require large-scale data analysis and pattern recognition. Infleqtion applies this technology to areas such as materials discovery, logistics, scientific research and industrial optimisation. This approach allows organisations to gain faster and more accurate insights when working with highly complex data environments.

Quantum Software is an essential part of Infleqtion’s systems. The company provides software platforms that allow users to design, test and run quantum algorithms on its hardware. These tools help developers move from research to application, enabling industries to explore quantum computing for real tasks such as materials simulation, chemical modelling, scheduling and optimisation.
