QuEra has been positioned in the Market Shapers quadrant of Gartner®'s first Emerging Market Quadrant for Quantum Computing — Established Vendors, 4 November 2026.

Gartner places vendors on two axes: potential to execute and potential for market disruption.

We read our placement as a reflection of the work our customers and partners see every day: Aquila on Amazon Braket since 2022, Gemini co-located with ABCI-Q at AIST in Japan, and a dated roadmap to fault-tolerant computing that organizations can plan against.

Here is what each of those looks like in practice.

Aquila: in the cloud since 2022

Aquila, our 256-qubit analog neutral-atom computer, has been available on Amazon Braket since November 2022. Anyone with an AWS account can program it, and researchers have used that access in more than 60 published papers, in areas such as many-body physics and optimization.

Running a machine in a public cloud for several years is an operational discipline as much as a scientific one: scheduled availability, consistent uptime, calibration and support for users we never meet in person. That experience shapes how we build every system that follows.

Gemini: on-premises beside ABCI-Q in Japan

Gemini, our gate-based neutral-atom system, is installed at AIST's G-QuAT center in Japan, next to the ABCI-Q supercomputer. Placing a quantum computer in the same facility as a GPU supercomputer lets researchers build and run hybrid quantum and classical workflows on site, under their own operational control.

The same architecture underpins our error-correction results. In 2024, our team and collaborators demonstrated magic state distillation on logical qubits, a step fault-tolerant computers need for universal computation (Nature, 2025).

A roadmap with dates

Organizations that plan quantum programs need more than direction; they need milestones. Our roadmap names its systems and the years they are planned for:

• Aquila (analog): 256 physical qubits, on Amazon Braket since 2022.
• Gemini (digital): 260 physical qubits, shipped on-premises in 2025.
• Libra (fault-tolerant): more than 10,000 physical qubits and 256 logical qubits, planned for Amazon Braket in 2028.
• Next generation (fault-tolerant): more than 20,000 physical qubits and more than 1,000 logical qubits, planned for 2028/29.

Publishing dates lets customers, partners and funding agencies line up their own plans, from training teams and preparing workloads to budgeting for access, against systems they know are coming.

What comes next

We will keep doing the work that earned this placement: operating Aquila for cloud users, supporting Gemini users in Japan, and delivering the roadmap on its dates. To talk about what fault-tolerant quantum computing could mean for your organization, contact our team.
