Qubitekk (Acquired by IonQ)

Qubitekk is building a photonic, gate-based, universal quantum computer that will be orders of magnitude faster than today’s fastest supercomputer. Qubitekk’s quantum computer uses polarized photons as the computer’s basic quantum bit – or qubit. A special proprietary preparation of these photons allows Qubitekk to overcome previous technical hurdles associated with photonic quantum computing (specifically, the implementation of 2-qubit gates).
