planqc
planqc is scaling neutral-atom quantum computers built from strontium qubits—supported by the Amadeus APEX Technology Fund—to reach thousands of error-corrected qubits and unlock practical quantum advantage.
About
planqc is a Munich-based quantum-computing company—the first spin-out from the Munich Quantum Valley initiative—building scalable neutral-atom processors that store quantum information in individually trapped strontium atoms. Founded by scientists from the Max-Planck Institute of Quantum Optics and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, the team arranges thousands of identical atoms in two- and three-dimensional optical lattices and manipulates them with ultra-stable laser pulses. This architecture offers long coherence, flexible connectivity and the fastest path to systems with thousands of qubits—an essential milestone for industry-relevant quantum advantage.
Backed by the Amadeus APEX Technology Fund, planqc is delivering turnkey quantum computers and cloud access for scientific, industrial and governmental users. Current projects include a German-government programme to build a 1,000-qubit machine for the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre, and collaborative work that recently demonstrated a 1,200-atom quantum register operating continuously for more than an hour—proof of the platform’s scalability and stability.
