Sept 28 (Reuters) – Atom Computing, a Berkeley, California-based quantum laptop maker, mentioned on Wednesday it could make investments $100 million over the following three years in Colorado the place it plans to construct its subsequent technology of quantum computer systems.
It’s the newest quantum computing startup to construct out its base in Boulder, Colorado. The state began to spice up its involvement in quantum computing about two years in the past, mentioned Colorado’s governor, Jared Polis, who attended Wednesday’s Atom Computing occasion in Boulder.
“We need to be the chief of quantum computing as this business creates tons of of firms, tens of hundreds of jobs, and powers a brand new expertise revolution,” Polis informed Reuters.

Quantum computer systems, which use quantum mechanics, will finally be capable to function tens of millions of instances quicker than at present’s superior supercomputers. The expertise continues to be in its early phases.
The College of Colorado Boulder has been a middle for quantum physics-related analysis, and is house to JILA, previously often known as the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics, a joint institute of the college and the Nationwide Institute of Requirements and Know-how.
Atom Computing makes use of lasers to regulate particular person atoms and construct qubits, the fundamental unit of quantum data. The corporate has raised a complete of $80 million up to now, it mentioned.
