Equal1 is accelerating the introduction of useful, cost-effective quantum computers within a three-year time horizon. The company has developed a disruptive, scalable and cost-effective quantum computing technology, based on a commercially available silicon semiconductor process. Our solution uses nanometer-scale quantum dots to form qubits on a standard silicon CMOS process. Along with silicon qubits, we have integrated all functions required for a quantum processing unit (QPU) – the brain of the quantum computer – which operates at 3 kelvin with over 10 million transistors. This is the first integrated quantum processing unit of its kind.

LUMA Vision is a company that creates connected intra-vascular medical devices to aid in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. Through advanced four-dimensional imaging and artificial intelligence (AI), the company improves the way EP and structural heart interventions are treated, allowing doctors to perform cardiac treatments that improve patientoutcomes, increase procedural safety, and reduce healthcare system costs.
