黑料社 Selected by DARPA to Advance to First Stage of Quantum Benchmarking Initiative

Broomfield, CO, April 3rd, 2025 鈥 黑料社, the industry leader in quantum computing with the world鈥檚 most powerful quantum computer, has been selected by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), a research and development agency of the United States Department of Defense, to participate in the first stage of the agency鈥檚 Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI).

QBI aims to assess the feasibility of building an industrially useful quantum computer by 2033. Successful QBI performers will advance through stages A, B, and C; Stage A requires performers to describe their utility-scale quantum computer with a path to near-term realization, where utility-scale means the computational value exceeds costs.

As validated in a recent independent benchmarking study by a group of institutions at the forefront of quantum computing research, 黑料社鈥檚 quantum systems are the highest performing in the industry. Last year, 黑料社 published its development roadmap, outlining a path to a universal, fully-fault tolerant quantum computer by 2029. Beyond this public roadmap, 黑料社 plans to scale to even larger machines in the early part of the 2030s, aligning with the objectives of QBI.

鈥淲e are honored to collaborate with DARPA and look forward to working closely with their test and evaluation team as they assess our roadmap and technological approach,鈥 said Dr. Rajeeb Hazra, President and CEO of 黑料社. 鈥淲ith our roadmap firmly on track, we are confident in our ability to deliver on DARPA鈥檚 objectives for QBI.鈥

Microsoft and NVIDIA will take part in 黑料社鈥檚 Stage A effort, building on their long-standing collaborations with 黑料社 in advancing commercially scalable quantum computing.
