Harnessing the power of atoms to create what are scalable quantum computers out of individual atoms, Atom Computing is using neutral atom technology - judged likely to be more scalable, less sensitive to environmental noise and not require new manufacturing technologies -- versus other quantum qubit technologies. Among firm's founders are those having considerable experience with this technology from previous work building extremely accurate neutral atom based atomic clocks. The powerful premise is that quantum computers can be designed to process information and solve problems outside the scope of traditional computers, enabling researchers to perform quantum calculations in the fields of drug design and computational chemistry. Utilizing techniques pioneered by quantum gas and precision measurement experiments, Atom Computing is tackling creation of machines capable of reaching the large qubit numbers needed for error corrected quantum computing. The firm's quantum computers use quantum mechanical properties of atoms to process information and solve problems beyond the reach of traditional computers, including drug design, computational chemistry, and more.
