Planqc is building quantum computers that store information in individual neutral atoms – nature's best qubits. Quantum information is processed by arranging these qubits in highly scalable arrays and manipulating them with precisely controlled laser pulses. planqc’s unique combination of quantum technologies is the fastest way to scale to thousands of qubits, a prerequisite for industry-relevant quantum advantage.  more

Pulsed aims at unlocking the potential of low-noise ultrashort pulse lasers for a wide range of applications in physics, chemistry, biology and medicine. Scientific and industrial applications range from light-wave electronics, seeding of mid-infrared OPCPA systems, ultrafast nanoscopy to the investigation of novel quantum materials, observation and steering of photochemical reactions, and many more. more

Ultrafast Innovations (UFI) specialises in the design and manufacture of optical elements and devices for ultrafast laser applications. Combining broadband coherent sources with unique dispersive technology, the company offers generation and diagnostics of the shortest pulses on the market in the femtosecond (UV-VIS-IR) and attosecond (XUV/soft X-ray) range. The product portfolio is complemented by characterisation equipment for dispersive and highly reflective mirrors.  more
