About
EeroQ develops helium-based quantum processors that use electrons floating on superfluid helium to create qubits with strong coherence properties and reduced environmental sensitivity. The company was co-founded by MSU Associate Professor Johannes Pollanen and builds on research pioneered at MSU and Bell Labs. In October 2025, EeroQ published a breakthrough in Physical Review X, demonstrating the first control and detection of individual electrons trapped on superfluid helium at temperatures above 1 Kelvin, 100 times warmer than typical quantum systems, which opens a path to more practical quantum processors that do not require dilution refrigerators. During 2025, the company was named 2025 MSU Startup of the Year, CEO Nick Farina was named to Crain's Chicago Business 40 Under 40, and EeroQ built the largest scaling architecture for a quantum computer to date, with 2,432 electrons made using standard CMOS fabrication. In December 2025, the company received a strategic investment from SEALSQ Corp as part of SEALSQ's 'Quantum Made in USA' industrial strategy, followed by a second SEALSQ investment in February 2026. EeroQ has secured over $13.5 million in venture funding. Update 2026-04-16: EeroQ demonstrated faster quantum lab development using NVIDIA Ising with EeroQ's chip.
