Google Invests in Alternative Neutral Atom Quantum Technology

Google has privately invested in a firm developing a very different and potentially rival quantum computer technology.

Google, a major figure in quantum computer development using superconducting technology to produce quantum bits (qubits), has invested a multi-million dollar sum into a firm developing an entirely different quantum technology: neutral atoms.

In mid-October 2024 – five years after Google announced it had achieved ‘quantum supremacy’ in 2019 – it invested in the quantum hardware firm QuEra Computing. This was a private investment in a private firm that was founded in 2018. The investment is outside of venture funding, and there are no disclosed details.
