About
Russian Quantum Center (RQC) is an independent research organization established in 2012 to advance quantum physics and its practical applications. More than 170 researchers work across 12 laboratories near Moscow, covering quantum computing, simulation, communication, and sensing, while the center develops and commercializes quantum-based technologies and devices. In December 2024, RQC and Lomonosov Moscow State University unveiled Russia's first 50-qubit quantum computer prototype, which uses rubidium neutral atoms trapped with optical tweezers. Rosatom's CEO announced the completion of a 50-qubit ion-based quantum computer with plans to scale to 75 qubits by 2025, part of a roadmap to surpass classical supercomputers by 2030. RQC spun off QRate, which develops fiber-optic quantum key distribution (QKD) systems approaching commercial readiness. The center operates under Russia's $790 million government-backed quantum computing initiative coordinated by Rosatom, developing multiple quantum computing platforms for the country's national quantum strategy.
