\nQuandela\u2019s spin-photon quantum computing architecture advances into DARPA program evaluating utility-scale, fault-tolerant quantum systems<\/b><\/p><\/a><\/a>

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Quandela today announced it has been selected by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to participate in Stage A of the Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI), a multi-stage program designed to assess whether any quantum computing architecture can achieve utility-scale operation by 2033.<\/p>

\nUnder Stage A, Quandela will present a detailed concept for a utility-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer, along with technical evidence supporting its near-term feasibility. Within DARPA\u2019s framework, utility-scale refers to systems whose computational value exceeds their cost. The QBI program is intended to rigorously evaluate approaches to practical quantum computing and provide the government with a clearer basis for assessing which technologies can realistically scale.<\/p>

\n\u201cSelection for Stage A of the QBI program reflects the progress and maturity of our approach,\u201d said Yoni Elmalem, General Manager of Quandela Federal. \u201cIt highlights the growing relevance of photonic and spin-photon hybrid architectures in addressing the requirements for scalable, fault-tolerant quantum systems. Our focus is on translating validated scientific principles into engineering pathways that can support practical deployment.\u201d<\/p>

\nQuandela is developing a spin-photon quantum computing architecture that combines the natural connectivity and modularity advantages of photons with the high-speed logic operations and resource efficiency of semiconductor spin-based technologies. The company believes this approach can enable modular, high-performance quantum systems designed for scalability.<\/p>

\n\u201cQBI establishes a structured framework for evaluating quantum computing approaches against clear performance and scalability criteria,\u201d said Niccolo Somaschi, CEO of Quandela. \u201cThis aligns closely with our engineering methodology, which emphasizes measurable progress, architectural clarity and system-level scalability from the outset.\u201d<\/p>

\nCompanies that successfully complete Stage A may advance to subsequent QBI phases focused on research and development planning, risk reduction, and independent validation of system performance.<\/p>

\nAbout Quandela <\/b>Quandela is a global quantum computing company that designs, builds and delivers quantum solutions for research and industry. Its offerings include energy-efficient quantum computers for data centers, full-stack quantum computing solutions accessible through the cloud, and quantum algorithm services for academic and industrial customers. Quandela\u2019s mission is to make quantum computing accessible in order to address complex industrial and societal challenges.<\/p>
