Infleqtion, a global leader in quantum sensing and quantum computing powered by neutral-atom technology, has announced an expansion of its work with several US Department of Energy national laboratories. Under the agreements, Infleqtion is continuing its longstanding collaborations with Sandia National Laboratories and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory while also launching a new partnership with Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The partnerships are centered on Superstaq, Infleqtion\u2019s quantum software platform that helps researchers run quantum programs more efficiently on real machines. Superstaq manages how quantum instructions are prepared and executed on different systems, allowing national laboratory teams to spend more time on scientific discovery and less time adapting software to each piece of hardware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cResearchers at the national laboratories are working at the front edge of what is possible in quantum computing,\u201d said Pranav Gokhale, Chief Technology Officer, Infleqtion. \u201cThese continued and expanded partnerships reflect the trust they place in Superstaq as one of the few quantum software platforms that works across different quantum computing technologies, helping researchers unlock meaningful performance improvements as they move from experiments toward real applications.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Infleqtion has supported Sandia\u2019s Quantum Scientific Computing Open User Testbed (QSCOUT) and Berkeley Lab\u2019s Advanced Quantum Testbed since 2021, providing capabilities tailored to each system\u2019s hardware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The renewed collaborations include software licensing and close technical engagement to incorporate improvements that help systems operate more reliably as the testbeds grow in size and complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs part of ongoing work on the Advanced Quantum Testbed, Superstaq has provided software tools used to support quantum research and development,\u201d said Chris Spitzer, Quantum Research Program Manager, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cContinuing the collaboration supports researcher access to software tools needed for experiments on evolving quantum hardware.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSuperstaq has been an important part of the QSCOUT testbed since its early days,\u201d said Susan Clark, QSCOUT Principal Investigator, Sandia National Laboratories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cContinuing this collaboration supports our mission to provide researchers with reliable tools that enable experimentation, comparison and advancement across emerging quantum computing approaches.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new partnership with Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory extends Superstaq support to the Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems Center (SQMS), following its recent renewal as one of the Department of Energy\u2019s National Quantum Information Science Research Centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through this collaboration, Infleqtion will work with Fermilab researchers to help prepare and run quantum programs in ways that best support SQMS\u2019s research goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr Silvia Zorzetti, Principal Engineer, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, said: \u201cThe Superstaq platform supports the collaborative work underway at SQMS and helps our teams focus on translating foundational research into meaningful progress for the broader quantum ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Across all three laboratories, Superstaq spans multiple types of quantum computing hardware, helping researchers prepare and run experiments more efficiently on real systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beyond these collaborations, Infleqtion\u2019s work across the Department of Energy laboratory system also includes ongoing efforts with Argonne National Laboratory and the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR), including a recently awarded ARPA-E initiative to advance quantum-powered energy grid optimization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
