Nord Quantique, a leading maker of quantum computers with efficient error correction, today proudly announces it has been accepted into stage A of DARPA's Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI). The company is one of a handful emanating from around the world which have been accepted into this prestigious program. This acceptance is based on Nord Quantique's advanced approach to quantum error correction, which is designed to progress efficiently to utility scale. This multi-year initiative will roll out in several stages, with companies achieving certain milestones being retained for successive stages and winning contracts based on their performance.

Nord Quantique, a scaleup company and leader in the field of quantum error correction, today announces two new partnerships to secure its supply chain long-term, as relates to chip fabrication for its quantum computers. Both partners are located within the emerging “Northeast Semiconductor Manufacturing Corridor,” a region dedicated to the production of microelectronics and quantum microchips. This territory runs from Manhattan to Montreal, spanning the border between New York State and the Canadian province of Quebec. Dozens of companies in this area will play a key role in reshoring semiconductor manufacturing here in North America over the coming years.
