In 1994, Peter Shor showed that a quantum computer could break modern encryption. For three decades, building one looked like it would take millions of physical qubits.
This year, the team behind @TeamOratomic proposed it could take as few as 10,000.
We're doubling down by co-leading Oratomic’s Series B, bringing their total funding to $775M. Their fault-tolerant quantum computer has the potential to unlock new scientific capabilities and applications we have yet to imagine.
It has been a true privilege to work alongside such extraordinary teammates over the past months. Very excited for what's ahead as we continue this great adventure to build a fault-tolerant quantum computer. We're hiring!
Oratomic has raised a Series B, bringing our total funding to $775M since our launch in March. We are on a focused mission to build a utility-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer.
I am deeply proud and enthusiastic to share one of our recent scientific advances arxiv.org/abs/2603.28627, as well as the announcement of our company, @TeamOratomic. This scientific work was realized in close collaboration with @Caltech, who has been an incredible partner in our adventures.
I believe it is quite plausible, although not guaranteed, that we will have a utility-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer by the end of the decade. Although exciting, this also means that the transition to post-quantum encryption should be taken seriously and done in a safe and timely manner.
The teammates I have had the privilege to work with at Oratomic are nothing short of exceptional. The rate of progress is astonishing---due in particular to the diverse expertise of the team and the mission-focus of our environment. We are working together to build a utility-scale quantum computer as soon as we can.
