The Quantum computing startup planqc that was founded among others by our team members Sebastian Blatt and Johannes Zeiher in April 2022, today announced a financing round of EUR 4.6 million led by UVC Partners and Speedinvest.

“With this funding, planqc will develop a highly scalable quantum computer operating at room temperature and based on atoms trapped in optical lattices. planqc is building quantum computers that store information in individual atoms – nature's best qubits.Quantum information is processed by arranging these qubits in highly scalable arrays and manipulating them with precisely controlled laser pulses.planqc’s unique combination of quantum technologies is the fastest way to scale to thousands of qubits, a prerequisite for industry-relevant quantum advantage.”
