Nord Quantique develops quantum processors based on neutral atom technology. The company traps and manipulates neutral atoms using laser beams to create qubits, focusing on scalability and fault tolerance for practical quantum computing. Their processors support high-fidelity two-qubit gates and aim for large-scale systems with thousands of qubits. Customers are primarily research institutions and quantum technology developers accessing their hardware for experiments in quantum simulation and algorithms. Nord Quantique targets the fault-tolerant quantum computing market, competing with ion trap and superconducting approaches. The company raised $5 million in seed funding in 2023 from BDC Capital, InBC Investment Corp., and others. Headquartered in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada, it operates a lab for hardware development. Julien Lemyre co-founded the company after prior work in quantum software and machine learning at institutions like Mila.
