QuEra Computing

In April 2024, QuEra Computing added local qubit control to its 256-qubit quantum computer Aquila, allowing for more flexibility in programming qubits independently and broadening the range of problems the computer can solve. In May 2024, QuEra Computing expanded its Boston headquarters to meet growing demand for quantum computers in the US, Europe, and Asia, having recently signed deals with the UK’s National Quantum Computing Centre and Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology. QuEra announced a strategic roadmap for error-corrected quantum computers, aiming to reach 100 logical error-corrected qubits by 2026, with a quantum computer featuring ten logical qubits in 2024, an enhanced model with 30 logical error-corrected qubits in 2025, and a third-generation model with 100 logical qubits in 2026. QuEra’s Aquila remains the first and only publicly accessible neutral atom quantum computer, available through Amazon Braket, using programmable arrays of neutral Rubidium atoms trapped in vacuum by tightly focused laser beams.

2025 Developments: In September 2025, QuEra’s Series B financing expanded to $230 million with investment from NVIDIA’s NVentures and Google. Deployed first quantum computer outside labs at Japan’s AIST in Tsukuba as part of G-QuAT quantum and AI research center. Gemini-class system installed alongside 2,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs in Japan’s ABCIQ supercomputer. QuEra joined NVIDIA’s Accelerated Quantum Research Center as founding member
