BOSTON, Mass., August 20, 2025 -- QuEra Computing, the leader in neutral-atom quantum computers, and Deloitte, a professional services leader, have entered an alliance to help organizations translate emerging quantum capabilities into practical business value. Through this collaboration, the two organizations will collaborate to identify, market, and jointly pursue opportunities that combine QuEra’s hardware and software platforms with Deloitte’s rich industry, client, implementation, technology, and systems-integration experience.

Why this matters:

Quantum computing has real-world implications for organizations across industries because it holds the potential to solve currently unsolvable problems. Life sciences, financial services, logistics and supply chains, and energy are particularly ripe for disruption. Powered by physics, unlike today’s math-based computers, quantum computers can optimize, simulate and model data in unprecedented ways. Organizations looking to harness these capabilities to grow their businesses in the future need access to both world-class hardware; and robust strategy and roadmap planning to implement and scale quantum technology effectively. Together, QuEra and Deloitte can help address this growing market need.

Alliance Highlights

• Prototype-to-production pathway – Clients can prototype algorithms on QuEra’s publicly-available Aquila analog processor today and transition to QuEra’s forthcoming Gemini gate-model, with Deloitte guiding the architecture, integration, and risk management.
• Enterprise integration and talent enablement – Deloitte will help clients embed neutral-atom workflows into existing infrastructures and cultivate the skills needed to scale quantum initiatives.
• Extending a growing global collaboration – This U.S. alliance adds to the strategic global collaboration QuEra formed with Deloitte Japan earlier this year to raise quantum awareness, develop a specialized quantum workforce, conduct joint research with academic institutions, co-create use-cases, and support quantum startups.

Executive Commentary

“Our clients are looking closely at the commercial opportunities quantum offers, and shifting from curiosity-driven to results-driven action around this technology,” said Scott Buchholz, Global Quantum Computing Leader and Managing Director at Deloitte Consulting LLP. “Working with QuEra gives us access to a highly scalable neutral-atom platform and a collaborative engineering team. Together, we can prototype high-impact use cases—such as large-scale optimization and advanced materials simulation—while laying the groundwork for fault-tolerant computing.”

Yuval Boger, Chief Commercial Officer at QuEra Computing, added: “Deloitte brings deep industry reach and a disciplined approach to technology adoption. Their ability to guide C-suites through complex transformations perfectly complements our mission to make neutral-atom quantum computers an essential tool for business and research.”

Early Collaboration Results

Recently, a joint team from Deloitte, QuEra, and several leading life sciences companies published the paper “Robust Quantum Reservoir Computing for Molecular Property Prediction”. The study showed that quantum reservoir computing implemented on QuEra’s neutral-atom hardware can outperform classical models on small drug-discovery datasets, demonstrating potential to unlock value in data-limited, life-science problems.
