EIQC is a professional research organization exploring quantum systems and unconventional computing architectures, from experimental qubit hardware to neuromorphic and photonic processors. Its work spans fault-tolerant quantum computing, beyond-classical algorithms, and post-quantum cryptography, with active projects including control systems for 127-plus-qubit processors and real-time quantum error-correction decoding. EIQC collaborates with academic institutions, national laboratories, and industry on emerging approaches to computation.
SEEQCFounded in 2019 as a spinout of superconducting-electronics company Hypres, SEEQC develops quantum-computing processors that integrate quantum circuits and classical control electronics on a single cryogenic chip. Based in Elmsford with facilities in London and Naples, the company also operates a commercial superconducting IC foundry that has fabricated more than 5,000 chip designs. Its System-on-Chip architecture is intended to reduce the cabling, latency, energy use, and complexity that make quantum systems difficult to scale.ELMSFORD, NY
QC82College Park-based QC82 is developing room-temperature photonic quantum computers for large-scale simulations in chemistry and materials science. Its approach combines proprietary photon-detection technology with low-loss, mass-manufacturable photonic chip designs, aiming to move quantum computing from laboratory systems toward practical industrial infrastructure. The company’s work is supported by a growing portfolio of more than 14 patents and collaboration with University of Virginia co-founders.COLLEGE PARK, MD
IonQ, IncIonQ grew from more than 30 years of academic research and trapped-ion breakthroughs at the University of Maryland and Duke University before Dr. Chris Monroe and Dr. Jungsang Kim founded the company in 2015. Based in College Park, Maryland, it develops commercial quantum computers and helps organizations apply them to difficult computational problems through cloud access and support from quantum scientists.COLLEGE PARK, MD
Light Rider IncFounded in Maryland by former U.S. Army cyber pioneer Anthony Lawrence, Light Rider Inc. integrates quantum computing and quantum-security technology for government, defense, and enterprise customers. Its work spans on-premises quantum processors, quantum-derived entropy, and security systems that add a physical layer to existing communications networks. The company also operates a cloud platform that provides unified access to quantum hardware and related services.
