Based in Boston and built on pioneering research from Harvard University and MIT, QuEra Computing is the leader in developing and productizing quantum computers using neutral atoms, widely recognized as a highly promising quantum computing modality.
Neutral-atom quantum computers can sample real materials, not just toy models.

This work maps DFT-derived energies to Rydberg systems to perform thermodynamic sampling on quantum hardware.
