The project will focus on neutral atom qubits used by Infleqtion’s quantum computing platform. Accurate knowledge of the state of these atoms is crucial for the quantum computer to perform its operations. This requires high detection sensitivity, accurate measurements, and low latency to enable real-time image processing and faster operations.
In an announcement introducing the partnership, Riverlane said that the collaboration takes aim at the quantum computing supply chain in particular, helping Nüvü to develop cameras targeting the next generation of quantum computers. Riverlane will equip its quantum control systems with advanced readout capabilities, and Infleqtion will validate the necessary hardware control layer.

The project is funded jointly by Innovate UK and the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program through the Canada-UK Commercialising Quantum Technology Programme. Innovate UK is investing £4.2 million ($5.3 million) in 11 projects to strengthen collaborative research and development through Canada-U.K. partnerships.
