Count Atom Computing as another in a growing list of startups that has built a quantum computer. The quantum computing space is still in its infancy, but it’s a field that holds enormous promise in such areas as artificial intelligence, pharmaceuticals, financial services and bioinformatics.

Atom is among three such startups in recent weeks to have made news that illustrates the strides such companies are making as well as the amount of interest and investments the quantum space is drawing.

Atom and ColdQuanta are both using versions of cold atoms, using lasers to “trap” atoms to use them as qubits.

A key difference from how classical computing evolved will be that quantum as a default will be offered as a service.
