Infleqtion (INFQ) signed a memorandum of understanding with Riverlane to explore real-time quantum error correction for neutral-atom computing.
The companies will evaluate whether Riverlane’s technology can work with Infleqtion’s quantum computing platform and software. Quantum error correction uses groups of physical qubits to detect and correct errors, with the aim of creating reliable logical qubits. The companies also plan to collaborate on the next stage of the UK’s Quantum Computing programme. A planned technical workshop will identify integration points and define potential demonstrators.
Infleqtion (INFQ) achieved 30 entangled logical qubits using 80 physical qubits on its Sqale quantum computing platform.
Logical qubits group physical qubits to improve calculation stability. The experiment linked all 30 logical qubits in one coherent state, executed approximately 1,000 physical operations and produced a signal approximately 1000x stronger than underlying noise. An AI-assisted discovery halved the physical gates needed for a logical operation compared with what was previously known. Infleqtion has three customers for logical-qubit circuits on Sqale. The company is targeting 100 logical qubits by 2028 and 1,000 by 2030.
Infleqtion (INFQ) announced that Chief Technology Officer and co-founder Pranav Gokhale has been named a recipient of the 2026 IEEE Quantum Technical Community Distinguished Early Career Award.
The IEEE QTC award honors early-career scientists and engineers for outstanding contributions to quantum computing and engineering, including technical impact, leadership and research excellence. Gokhale’s work spans quantum hardware, control, software, compilation and algorithms, and has yielded more than a dozen publications, multiple patents and three best paper awards. He previously co-founded quantum software company Super.tech, acquired by Infleqtion in 2022, and now leads Infleqtion’s technology strategy, including its Superstaq cross-layer optimization software. The award will be presented during IEEE Quantum Week 2026 in Toronto, Canada.
Infleqtion (INFQ) reported progress in fault-tolerant quantum computing by integrating its open-source qLDPC quantum error correction library with the newly announced NVIDIA CUDA-Q Logical platform.
Using an early-access version of CUDA-Q Logical, Infleqtion researchers built and validated a high-rate quantum error correction code that uses approximately six physical data qubits per logical qubit, about a fivefold improvement in code rate versus a surface-code approach used for comparison. This sub-10:1 physical-to-logical qubit ratio advances Infleqtion’s architectural target for near-term neutral-atom systems. The company is extending the workflow toward physical execution with syndrome extraction, neutral-atom noise modeling, decoder benchmarking, and AI-assisted development, and will present related work at IEEE Quantum Week 2026 and Quantum World Congress.
Infleqtion (INFQ) announced a collaboration with Cisco to pursue joint R&D on connecting, operating, and scaling quantum systems into distributed networks. The companies plan to combine Infleqtion’s neutral-atom quantum computers and sensors with Cisco’s developing quantum networking stack to explore architectures that link individual devices into more capable, resilient quantum networks.
The collaboration will focus on areas such as converging quantum sensing and compute, converting quantum states in neutral-atom memories and processors to optical channels, and developing network-aware quantum software to coordinate workloads across connected systems. Cisco’s recent work includes an end-to-end quantum networking stack and the Cisco Universal Quantum Switch prototype, designed to route quantum information between heterogeneous systems.
Infleqtion (INFQ) will participate in Quantum World Congress 2026 from Sept. 23-25, 2026, in College Park, Maryland.
CEO Matthew Kinsella will deliver a keynote, “The Exponential Quantum Curve,” on Sept. 24 from 10:30-10:50 a.m. EDT and join a panel on quantum manufacturing. Chief Revenue Officer Paul Lipman will lead a defense and space-focused bootcamp on Sept. 23. Attendees can visit Infleqtion at Booth 23/25 in Section 2 near the main stage.
Infleqtion (NYSE: INFQ) announced a $20 million follow-on contract from NASA to continue development of the Quantum Gravity Gradiometer Pathfinder (QGGPf), led by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. This raises NASA’s total investment in the program to $40 million and advances it into the next phase of hardware development and testing.
Infleqtion is responsible for designing, maturing, and integrating the atomic physics package, including vacuum, laser, and control subsystems, for a cold-atom quantum gravity sensor intended to operate in low Earth orbit. According to the company, hardware development is planned over the next three years with work under this phase expected through 2027, followed by a flight demonstration and an anticipated mission launch on a low-Earth orbit spacecraft in 2030.
Infleqtion (NYSE: INFQ) announced that its quantum processing unit is powering “Shunkai,” Japan’s first operational full-stack neutral-atom quantum computer, developed by a research team led by Professor Kenji Ohmori at the Institute for Molecular Science under the Japan Science and Technology Agency’s Quantum Moonshot program.
Infleqtion is the only foreign quantum partner in the program and serves as a principal investigator alongside the Ohmori group. Shunkai is initially expected to operate with about 50 qubits, with plans to scale to around 500. A new project phase that began in April 2026 targets a high-performance, fault-tolerant neutral-atom system with up to 10,000 physical qubits, quantum error detection and correction, and future access for external users across academia and industry.
Infleqtion (NYSE: INFQ) plans a 2027 field test of its quantum gravity gradiometry (QGG) sensing technology in Colorado to improve discovery and mapping of underground critical mineral deposits before drilling. The project, announced at the Colorado Quantum Innovation Center opening in Louisville, aims to support U.S. critical-minerals supply chain security by providing earlier subsurface intelligence to guide exploration decisions.
The planned test aligns with Infleqtion’s support for the Quantum-Enhanced Critical Minerals Mapping Act of 2026, which would direct the U.S. Geological Survey to incorporate QGG into its Earth Mapping Resources Initiative. Infleqtion is assessing potential sites in Colorado’s Third Congressional District, with further details to be released as planning advances.
Infleqtion (NYSE: INFQ) has opened the Colorado Quantum Innovation Center (CQIC), a new facility at 1315 W. Century Drive in Louisville that will serve as its global headquarters. CQIC supports Infleqtion’s quantum computing and quantum sensing work, including deployments with the U.S. Department of War, NASA and the UK Royal Navy.
The grand opening highlights the Boulder–Louisville–Broomfield corridor’s role as “America’s Quantum Peak,” a regional ecosystem of more than 30 quantum companies, national laboratories, universities and industry partners. State and federal officials, academic leaders and Elevate Quantum participated in the ribbon-cutting celebration.
