Introduction to Quantum Circuits, Inc (Dual Rail Qubits)

Today's quantum computers are limited in power due to the lack of reliable qubits, which currently last only a fraction of a second. To overcome this problem, the industry is racing to develop Fault Tolerant Quantum Computers that are reliable and can reach the scale needed to solve the world's hardest problems.

Quantum Circuits is at the forefront of this race with its novel Aqumen Seeker Dual-Rail superconducting qubits system, which is based on a “correct first, then scale” approach that delivers built-in error detection and correction. Their Aqumen Cloud Service offers a convenient way to use their SDK and simulator to build applications before running on their production hardware.

Please join us on Thursday, June 12 at the Princeton Public Library to learn more about Quantum Circuits and its technology, products and use cases, such as chemistry and drug discovery.

A brief update on the latest news from the quantum industry.

About Quantum Circuits, Inc.
Quantum Circuits was founded in 2015 by scientists from Yale University, including Sterling Professor Rob Schoelkopf, who is regarded as a pioneer of superconducting quantum computing. Their Dual-Rail Qubit with built-in error detection provides greater accuracy, performance, and scalability for quantum systems, accelerating the path to fault tolerant quantum computing, which is a prerequisite for commercially viable systems.

Quantum Circuits raised $60M in Series B funding in August 2024, led by a strong slate of investors including Sequoia, ARCH Venture Partners, F-Prime Capital, and Canaan Partners.

Andrei Petrenko is Head of Product at Quantum Circuits, where he spearheads the product strategy with a keen focus on fostering a strong customer ecosystem and user experience. As one of the first employees of Quantum Circuits, Andrei built key areas of the company’s product and software stack, and has been instrumental in defining the hardware roadmap.

Andrei has nearly 15 years of experience in quantum computing across industry and academia. His background is in quantum hardware, and he received his Ph.D. from Yale University. He loves to spend time with his family and friends around a campfire in New Hampshire and teach his kids how to do a cannonball at the local pool.

Many thanks to the Princeton Public Library for co-sponsoring our event and providing a venue where our community can explore all things quantum!!
