About
Aquabits develops scalable multiqubit trapped-ion technology at a fraction of traditional costs. Drawing on the way water molecules are transported through naturally occurring proteins called aquaporins, the company invented a simple, low-cost method to trap ions inside artificial water channels. This approach avoids the need for bulky lasers and expensive micro-nano fabrication, opening a path to a scalable multi-qubit system. Founded in December 2020 and spun out from the University of Waterloo's Institute for Quantum Computing, Aquabits aims to make quantum technology affordable and widely available.
