About Quantum Computing

Quantum Computing builds software aimed at the quantum computing space, with Qatalyst standing out as its main product. This accelerator lets developers build and run applications that are "quantum-ready" on standard computers today, while keeping them compatible with real quantum machines once deployed. Alongside this, the company gives users entry to several external quantum processing units, including those made by D-Wave, Rigetti, and IonQ, rather than relying solely on its own hardware.

Its customer base spans both commercial businesses and government bodies, suggesting a focus on organizations exploring or preparing for practical quantum applications rather than individual consumers.

Quantum Computing traces its founding to 2018 and operates out of Leesburg, Virginia. The company previously went by the name Innovative Beverage Group Holdings, Inc. before its current form. Its shares are listed on the NASDAQ under the ticker QUBT.
