Life at Quantum Circuits

Quantum Circuits, Inc. (QCI) is a private venture founded in late 2015. Together with a multi-disciplinary team of engineers, we are reimagining the full stack of quantum computation to offer a truly scalable platform, one that tackles the world's most challenging problems. In 2018, we closed a Series A funding round led by Canaan and Sequoia Capital. Specifically, QCI's long-term goal is to develop, manufacture, and sell the first practical and useful quantum computers based on superconducting devices. QCI was founded by three scientists from the Department of Applied Physics at Yale University: Michel Devoret, Luigi Frunzio, and Robert Schoelkopf. They are world-leading experts in quantum devices and quantum information processing with solid-state devices, with a decades-long record of innovation in new devices, techniques, and fundamental concepts.
