Planqc
5th place: Fifth place this month goes to Planqc and its newly opened headquarters. The Munich-based quantum computing startup is now developing and building quantum computers in a former hardware store on 1,400 square meters of renovated laboratory and office space. Currently, several computers are being built there for government contractorsPlanqc's quantum computers store information in individual atoms; the technology is based on award-winning research at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ). This also distinguishes the Munich-based company's approach from that of other companies. Unlike other models, Planqc's quantum computers also operate at room temperature, and the power they require comes from a wall outlet. Furthermore, the Munich-based company's approach is considered particularly scalable and shows great potential on the path to error-corrected quantum computers. (Photo: Planqc)
