Infleqtion Achieves 30 Entangled Logical Qubits on Sqale Neutral-Atom Quantum Processor Neutral-atom quantum technology developer Infleqtion, Inc. (NYSE: INFQ) has demonstrated 30 entangled logical qubits on its commercial Sqale™ quantum computing platform. Announced at Quantum World Congress 2026, the breakthrough encodes 30 logical qubits into just 80 physical neutral-atom qubits using a low 8:3 physical-to-logical overhead ratio, fulfilling the company’s 2026 technical roadmap commitment and marking the largest logical qubit entanglement demonstrated on a commercial neutral-atom system to date. The achievement integrates Infleqtion’s Sqale neutral-atom QPU hardware with its Superstaq™ quantum software compilation stack. By combining optical tweezers for individual qubit addressing with dynamic atom shuttling for all-to-all logical connectivity, the system executed an Instantaneous Quantum Polynomial-time (IQP) benchmark circuit containing 1,000 physical operations (1 KiloQuOp)—including four non-Clifford logical CCZ gates. The experimental run returned valid target state sampling at roughly 1,000× above the uniform-random background noise baseline.

The AI identified a novel logical double-CZ entangling operation that reduced the physical gate overhead per logical entanglement from eight two-qubit gates down to four, requiring only 136 total physical two-qubit gates across the 30-qubit circuit. Additionally, software-based loss correction in Superstaq allowed post-processing algorithms to reconstruct missing X-basis measurement outcomes caused by atom loss events, effectively quadrupling the yield of successful circuit executions. The 30-logical-qubit capability is actively deployed across commercial and health-tech applications, including the Wellcome Leap Quantum for Bio (Q4Bio) program for GPU-trained biomarker discovery. The milestone positions Infleqtion toward its target of scaling to 100 logical qubits by 2028 and 1,000 logical qubits by 2030.
