In recent days, , Superconducting quantum hardware startup Atlantic Quantum The announcement is complete 900 Ten thousand dollars seed round financing , This round of financing is from The Engine Lead investment ,Thomas Tull、Glasswing Ventures、Future Labs Capital and E14 To vote for .

The Engine Partners Milo Werner In this financing, it is said ：“ So far, , People pay more attention to the number of qubits than the coherence of qubits , This is the wrong way , This greatly slows down the process of quantum computing to give full play to its practical potential . Now? , We see a different way forward , This path will bring quantum closer to reality ：Atlantic Quantum First, focus on the quality of qubits , The second is quantity .”

Atlantic Quantum, Founded on 2022 year , Team members from MIT Engineering Quantum Systems Group （EQuS）, And by the MIT-CQE The director of the William Oliver Professor and chief scientist Simon Gustavsson Doctoral leader . The team has previously worked on quantum bit coherence time 、 Door fidelity and large-scale system integration have achieved important milestones .

Atlantic Quantum Committed to building extensible 、 Fault tolerant quantum computing system , And have the quality and scale needed to meet the world's most difficult computing challenges . Its core advantage lies in , Compared to traditional transmon Coherent measurement method ,Atlantic Quantum Of fluxonium The new anti noise quantum bit method can improve the quantum bit coherence time by an order of magnitude .

Atlantic Quantum Of CEO Bharath Kannan explains ：“ And transmon comparison ,fluxonium The working frequency of has been significantly reduced . This lower operating frequency enables longer coherence time and simpler control integration .”

William Oliver Says Professor ：“ I'm glad to see EQuS Researchers from all over the world teamed up to form Atlantic Quantum. From my point of view , This is a ‘ Dream team ’： They have a bold entrepreneurial spirit and a solid technological foundation , And have the ability to bring technology out of the laboratory and commercialize it .”

Kannan say ：“ We believe that fault tolerant quantum hardware is the key to the important progress of quantum computing . As the quantum market matures , Overcoming current hardware limitations is critical ,Atlantic Quantum Focus on eliminating the technical barriers faced by quantum computing and accelerating the practical application .”
