Neutral-atom quantum hardware developer Atom Computing and quantum software specialist Phasecraft have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate on application-focused algorithms. The partnership aims to adapt Phasecraft’s hardware-optimized software to Atom’s neutral-atom architecture, with a primary focus on accelerating materials discovery for clean energy applications like advanced batteries and solar technology. The joint effort will also explore how these specialized algorithms can be utilized to benchmark industry progress toward utility-scale quantum systems.

The announcement highlights significant momentum for both companies, particularly for Atom Computing as it has developed systems with over 1,200 physical qubits, featuring advanced capabilities towards fault-tolerant quantum computing and is currently deploying commercial systems that support the implementation of logical qubits. Meanwhile, Phasecraft continues to position itself as a leading algorithm developer by designing software tailored to maximize the capabilities of existing, near-term quantum hardware.

By combining Atom Computing’s scalable neutral-atom platform with Phasecraft’s hardware-adaptive algorithms, the partnership aims to bridge the gap between current intermediate-scale systems and practical, commercial-scale utility in materials science and energy storage.
