Quantum Computing Infrastructure contains 67 companies across
6 categories.
Startups building the core infrastructure needed to scale quantum computers, from physical machines to the software layers that make them usable.
Quantum computer builders
Companies developing complete quantum computing systems around a specific qubit architecture. The category is focused on platforms that own the path from physical qubit design to usable compute access.
Sygaldry Technologies, Inc.
Website: sygaldry.com
Sygaldry builds quantum-accelerated AI servers that combine multiple qubit modalities in a fault-tolerant architecture to speed up AI training and inference.
Category: Quantum computer builders.
Funding stage: Series A.
Founded: 2024.
Country: United States.
Employees: 11-50 employees.
Landscape fit: It fits the quantum computer builders category because it is developing complete quantum hardware systems—not just components or software—around a specific architecture, combining multiple qubit types into a full compute platform intended for practical AI workloads.
