Problem
Current quantum computing platforms rely on superconducting qubits that require cryogenic temperatures near absolute zero, leading to high infrastructure costs and limited scalability. Additionally, existing qubit technologies face challenges in coherence time and integration density, restricting practical applications in molecular simulation and sensing.
Solution
Exciton Computing is developing a hybrid quantum processor that uses excitons—bound electron‑hole pairs—in novel MOCHa materials as qubits. By leveraging ultrafast femtosecond light pulses and non‑linear optics, the platform aims to achieve coherent control of exciton arrays at temperatures above 77 K, dramatically reducing cooling requirements. The approach targets high‑density qubit arrays suitable for quantum simulation of large‑scale molecular dynamics and remotely tunable quantum sensors. The long‑term goal is a general‑purpose quantum computer that can be built for under $1 M USD, making quantum hardware more accessible to research labs and industry.
