A quantum leap, atom by atom.

Atom Computing ushers in a new era with a quantum computer boasting 1180 qubits, over double the capacity of its nearest rival, employing a novel design of neutral atoms corralled by lasers, which promises easier scaling up of the system. With its qubits showcasing longer coherence times thanks to the use of ytterbium atoms and aiming to provide cloud computing applications next year, Atom's creation is not just a computational behemoth but a signpost on the road toward fault-tolerant quantum computing.
