Our last report was published on November 4, 2025. In addition to updates and additional quantum computing hardware companies, we also now include links to Tracxn, where available. We’ve added five additional companies to the report and accounted for those that have been acquired.
We provide charts illustrating the distribution of the companies by country and geographic region. We show the breakdown of which companies are implementing each modality and the countries in which these companies are based. An additional chart shows that the digital paradigm is a far more popular approach than analog and, especially, annealing. We show the years the companies were founded and the significant increase in incorporation since 2016. For each private company for which public information is available, we show its investors and funders, as well as the companies in which those organizations have invested or funded.
