OQT (Origin Quantum Technology)

OQT is a South Korean neutral-atom quantum computing startup backed by Kakao Ventures and Korean Investment Partners. The company is developing neutral-atom quantum processors as part of South Korea's growing quantum computing ecosystem. South Korea has allocated approximately $2.3 billion toward quantum computing by 2035, and OQT is positioned as one of the country's leading pure-play quantum hardware startups alongside larger industrial programs at Samsung and LG.

Rigetti Computing

Hardware

Rigetti is a publicly traded pure-play quantum computing company that designs and manufactures superconducting quantum processors in its own fabrication facility — one of only a few quantum companies with in-house fab capability. Its current Ankaa-2 system (84 qubits) uses tunable couplers and a square lattice for 98% median two-qubit gate fidelity. Rigetti also sells QPUs directly through its Novera product line, and offers cloud access via Amazon Braket and Azure Quantum. In collaboration with Riverlane, it demonstrated real-time low-latency quantum error correction in 2024.

IonQ

Hardware

IonQ is the first publicly traded pure-play quantum computing company. In 2025, IonQ executed the largest acquisition spree in quantum history: Oxford Ionics for $1.075B (June 2025), a controlling stake in ID Quantique for quantum networking (May 2025), and SkyWater Technology semiconductor foundry for $1.8B (January 2026). The combined entity targets 256 physical qubits at 99.99% accuracy and 2 million physical qubits by 2030. Systems available on Amazon Braket, Azure Quantum, and Google Cloud.
