planqc is Germany's leading neutral-atom quantum computing startup, spun out of the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics and the Munich Quantum Valley ecosystem. Its systems trap strontium atoms in optical lattices — a design lineage that also underpins the world's most accurate atomic clocks — aiming at thousands of qubits with high-fidelity gates.
planqc raised a €50M Series A in July 2024, one of Europe's largest quantum Series A rounds, and holds contracts with the German Aerospace Center (DLR) to deliver quantum computers to national infrastructure, plus a system for the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre.
