ATLANTIC QUANTUM CORP

Atlantic Quantum was a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based quantum computing hardware startup founded in 2022, spun out of MIT's Engineering Quantum Systems (EQuS) group led by Professor William Oliver. The company developed a modular superconducting quantum chip architecture that integrated control electronics within the same cryogenic cold stage as the qubits — a design aimed at dramatically improving scalability compared to conventional approaches that route control wiring externally. Atlantic Quantum raised $9 million in seed funding led by The Engine, MIT's venture firm, to advance its hardware toward fault-tolerant quantum computing. In October 2025, Atlantic Quantum was acquired by Google Quantum AI to accelerate the scaling of superconducting qubit systems.
