# QuEra Computing Inc.

> QuEra builds neutral-atom quantum computers and the software to program them. Its 256-qubit Aquila is available through Amazon Braket, a Gemini-class gate-based system was installed alongside Japan’s ABCI-Q supercomputer, and the company plans a fault-tolerant Libra system for 2028.

- **Founded:** 2018
- **Headquarters:** Boston, United States
- **Founders:** Mikhail Lukin (Co-founder; Chief Science Officer), Vladan Vuletić (Co-founder; Chief Technology Officer), Markus Greiner (Co-founder; Harvard professor), Dirk Englund (Co-founder; MIT professor), Nathan Gemelke (Co-founder; Chief Technology Strategist), John Pena (Co-founder)
- **Products:** Aquila, Gemini, Bloqade, Libra
- **Notable:** Aquila became publicly accessible on Amazon Braket in November 2022., A Harvard-MIT-QuEra team reported a 48-logical-qubit processor in 2023., A Gemini-class gate-based system was installed at AIST in Japan in 2025.

## Products & services

- **Aquila** — 256-physical-qubit analog neutral-atom processor accessible on Amazon Braket.
- **Gemini** — Gate-based neutral-atom system and error-correction testbed; a Gemini-class system was installed at AIST in Japan.
- **Bloqade** — Open-source SDK and tools for analog and digital neutral-atom programming and simulation.
