Infleqtion: Commercializing Quantum Computing

Infleqtion: Commercializing Quantum Computing

The News: Infleqtion held a webinar in early February covering the company’s strategic intent to commercialize quantum computing and highlighting Sqorpius, its fault-tolerant computer tailored for commercial applications. Learn more on the Infleqtion website.

Infleqtion: Commercializing Quantum Computing

Analyst Take: Though it is limited in application to solving current, real-world problems, quantum computing continues to make headlines. It is a technology that is still under development, with heavy investment from the likes of IBM, Google, and major country states and technology firms. The promise is big, and the technology issues are also big as fault-tolerance and error correction are still issues to be solved.

Infleqtion has 17 years in quantum technology R&D and is looking to bring the technology of atoms, lasers, and software technology to market. The basis of its approach is to bring affordable price points and power efficiency to not only the defense and aerospace industries but also commercial use.

Although this goal seems quite lofty, CEO Scott Faris is not new to addressing large problems with incremental deliverables. Take, for instance, Tiqker, Infleqtion’s 3U rack-mounted systems for optical atomic, delivering high-precision time used for navigation, data centers, and communications without GPS. Today, time as we know it is less reliable. We are dependent on GPS satellites. However, we need more resilience for time distribution on earth and in space. As we have expanded our digital world, time assurance and frequency of access has become difficult. Tiqker is here and now for the data center and defense. The intention is to bring the next generation Tiqker with SayWire for more precision and the possibility to build a private terrestrial access not dependent on GPS, plus deliver the time assurance in a small portable form factor.

To address unlocking the technology for commercial scale in 5 years, Infleqtion outlined its Sqorpius vision. The company laid out its design for data center-ready and enabling technologies to achieve commercial0grade error detection.

Of further note is Infleqtion’s investment in software. Often the hardware precedes the software enablement, requiring high degrees of technical expertise in developers. Infleqtion believes quantum software will be as impactful to quantum computing as CUDA has been to GPUs. Thus, the company’s investment in Superstaq, to which you can write quantum programs in any source language and target any quantum computer without any quantum experience. Infleqtion’s work on software has created high efficiencies demonstrated at Sandia, Berkley, and other institutions.

Quantum computing will be our next generation of compute, far surpassing even current generative AI processing. Five years ago, it seemed a lifetime away. Today, is seems within a corporate planning cycle.
