About Atom Computing

Atom Computing is a quantum computing company that is developing a scalable quantum computer using neutral atoms. The company was founded in 2018 by Benjamin Bloom, who is a professor of physics at the University of California, Berkeley. Atom Computing's approach to quantum computing is based on neutral atoms, which are more stable than other qubit technologies. The company has raised $15 million in seed funding from Venrock, Innovation Endeavors, Prelude Ventures, and DCVC.
