Hangzhou, China
DAMO Academy quantum lab. The Asia brief says the lab closed in November 2023 and equipment was donated to Zhejiang University. No active Aliyun quantum hardware cloud. Listed so the directory does not imply an ongoing Alibaba processor.
Paris; Boston office reported, France
Cat-qubit (bosonic) architecture in the PROQCIMA cohort. Large venture rounds, including a reported €100 million class raise. The Kity system at CEA is planned around 2027. A Boston presence is reported; headcount there was a named gap in the North America brief.
Seattle, WA; Pasadena, CA (Caltech), United States

Corporate HQ moved through Palo Alto to Boca Raton; the Quantum Engineering Center of Excellence remains in Burnaby. Named in reported CHIPS awards. Canada’s CQCP was framed in part as a response to this US migration.
Kawasaki / Wako, Japan

Deep German manufacturing and operations. In September 2026 Eldorado in Brazil purchased an IQM Spark, the first IQM system in South America, with install targeted for the first quarter of 2027.
Tokyo, Japan
Historical first solid-state qubit demonstration in 1999. Continues superconducting research and sells vector annealing for optimisation. Smaller public qubit scale than Fujitsu.
Sherbrooke, QC, Canada
Bosonic superconducting cavity qubits. CQCP and DARPA QBI Stage B. A valuation near $1.4 billion appeared in 2026 secondary coverage; the brief says to treat that figure as reported.

Series C and D of about CNY 2 billion in the first half of 2026 were reported, with an IPO target of Hong Kong or Shenzhen around 2027. Claims that superconducting is about 65% of revenue, and that the firm is profitable, are private and unaudited. SpinQ México distributes teaching systems; it is not a Mexican hardware developer.
Hefei, China
Reported Zuchongzhi ~105–107 superconducting qubits (2025 research). Jiuzhang 4.0 is boson sampling, not a gate-model QPU
Scientific anchor of the Hefei cluster and the lineage behind spinouts Origin Quantum, QuantumCTek, and CIQTEK. Jiuzhang 4.0 (Nature, May 2026) is a Gaussian boson sampling result — 1,024 squeezed inputs, 8,176 modes, up to 3,050 photon detections were lab-asserted — and advantage claims are contested. Zuchongzhi 3.0/3.2 (2025) is a ~105–107 qubit superconducting research system; a surface-code distance-7 logical qubit below threshold was reported in December 2025. Peer-reviewed research, not a product.
