Atom computing and quantum algorithm company PhaseCraft announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to explore how its application-focused algorithms can be used as a benchmark for progress toward utility-scale quantum computers.
Through this MOU, the two companies will work together to accelerate the delivery and deployment of quantum solutions in key application areas, including the development of materials for batteries and photovoltaics. By adapting Phasecraft’s advanced algorithms and software to Atom Computing’s neutral atomic quantum computing hardware, the collaboration aims to accelerate the path to useful applications in materials science and energy.
Atom Computing continues to lead the quantum computing industry through its pioneering work in neutral atomic quantum technology. The company recently demonstrated a breakthrough in quantum error correction using toric codes and announced a $100 million Letter of Intent with the U.S. Department of Commerce. Atom Computing is also introducing the world’s first commercial quantum computer with logical qubits and is running in Stage B of DARPA’s Quantum Benchmark Initiative (QBI), demonstrating a path to practical-scale quantum computing.
Phasecraft is a leading quantum algorithms company based in the UK and US, developing advanced quantum algorithms to solve real-world problems in materials discovery, chemistry and optimization. Its focus is on making quantum computing practical today by bridging the gap between current technology and the large-scale quantum systems of the future by designing software that runs on existing imperfect hardware.

“Unlocking the true commercial potential of quantum computing requires tight synergies between breakthrough hardware and hardware-optimized software,” said Dr. Ben Bloom, CEO and Founder of Atom Computing. “Fine-tuning Phasecraft’s industry-leading algorithmic methods to our neutral atom architecture can pave the way for a new generation of commercial applications in materials science and sustainable technology.”
Professor Ashley Montanaro, CEO and co-founder of Phasecraft, said: “Real-world quantum utilities come from combining advances in hardware with equally powerful algorithmic advances. By integrating Atom’s scalable quantum computing platform with our hardware-adaptive algorithms, we can accelerate progress toward applications in energy storage, photovoltaic technology, and advanced materials.”
By bringing together state-of-the-art neutral atomic quantum computers and purpose-built quantum software, this collaboration represents a decisive step towards achieving quantum advantage in critical industries and accelerating innovation across the global energy and materials landscape.
