Infleqtion through the years: from its origins to 2026

Infleqtion was founded in 2007 as ColdQuanta by University of Colorado physicist Dana Anderson to commercialise ultracold-atom technology.

How Infleqtion developed

The company expanded from components and cold-atom systems into quantum computing, precision timing, sensing and radio-frequency applications. It later adopted the Infleqtion name as its ambitions broadened beyond the ColdQuanta brand.

Infleqtion in 2026

By 2026, Infleqtion was developing neutral-atom quantum computers and quantum sensing technologies, including clocks and systems intended for positioning, communications and defence-related applications.

Why the history matters

Infleqtion’s history shows that quantum technology is broader than computing alone: the same control of atoms can support sensors and timing devices with nearer-term commercial uses.
