QuEra Computing

Boston – October 15, 2026 -- QuEra Computing will work as neutral-atom hardware partner on three of the nine teams selected for ARPA-E's Quantum Computing for Computational Chemistry (QC3) program, which directs $37 million across its performers over three years. QuEra scientists serve as co-principal investigators on projects targeting superconductors, high-performance magnets and hydrogen production.

ARPA-E sets a hundredfold target validated at about 100 logical qubits

The Department of Energy announced QC3 in March 2026. The program aims to close the gap between vendor roadmaps, which are moving toward expanded logical-qubit capability by the end of the decade, and the resources that published energy-chemistry algorithms require.

Boston – September 22, 2026 -- QuEra Computing and Hewlett Packard Enterprise have agreed to integrate neutral-atom, fault-tolerant quantum computing systems with the HPE Cray supercomputing platform, giving enterprises and national laboratories an on-premises route to quantum capabilities alongside cloud access.

QuEra and HPE target hybrid quantum-classical workflows for on-premise deployment

The collaboration will let HPC centers run classical computation on Cray systems while offloading select subproblems to QuEra's quantum hardware within the same facility. The companies are pursuing integrated testbeds, hybrid algorithm co-design, software interoperability, and system-level performance benchmarking ahead of deployment.

QuEra and HPE have worked together since 2025, and HPE showcased a magic-state demonstration featuring QuEra's technology at HPE Discover Las Vegas 2026.
