Planckian is developing the core technology to power utility-scale quantum computers. By design, our chip architecture decouples control lines from qubit count, removing a key bottleneck in scaling. It combines the proven reliability of superconducting circuits with a breakthrough approach to qubit control, paving the way for quantum computers capable of solving the world's most challenging problems.
What You'll be doing
Design superconducting qubits, couplers, and quantum circuits for scalable quantum processors
