In the U.S., the company opened its first Quantum Technology Center in Maryland in April this year and is planning further expansion at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory. It also recently sold its first quantum computer in Asia to Japan’s Toyo Corporation.

What Does Having Quantum Computing Capabilities Mean?

Governments and institutions are investing in procuring quantum computers to advance discoveries in fields such as artificial intelligence, materials science, cybersecurity, and drug discovery.

“Around the world, organizations are moving from exploration to implementation, investing in quantum infrastructure and building the capabilities that will define the next generation of computing,” said CEO Jan Goetz.

According to SpinQ, a leading Chinese quantum computing firm, there were roughly 200 full-sized commercial quantum computers active worldwide in 2025, and about 1,000 desktop-sized educational units.

The firm also noted that, since the locations of many quantum computers are kept under wraps for national security reasons, there is no exact estimate of how many are currently online.
