Atom Computing Recognized by Fast Company as One of the World's Most Innovative Companies of 2025

BOULDER, Colo., March 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Atom Computing announced today that it has been named to Fast Company's renowned list of the World's Most Innovative Companies of 2025.

This year's list shines a spotlight on businesses that are shaping industry and culture through their innovations to set new standards and achieve remarkable milestones in all sectors of the economy. Alongside the World's 50 Most Innovative Companies, Fast Company recognizes 609 organizations across 58 sectors and regions.

Atom Computing is being recognized as #10 in the Computing category for its pioneering work in neutral atom quantum computing.

"It's an honor to be recognized by Fast Company for our innovation and progress in developing cutting-edge quantum computing technology," said Ben Bloom, PhD, Founder & CEO of Atom Computing. "We're excited to enable researchers with new computational tools to explore breakthrough applications in chemistry, materials science, and beyond."

To unleash the power of quantum computing, it is critical to develop new generations of systems that correct errors by using many physical qubits to produce "logical qubits." These logical qubits can then run intricate quantum programs that address some of today's most complex computational problems.

In 2024, Atom Computing became the first quantum company to surpass 1,200 physical qubits and demonstrated all the key ingredients required for error-corrected, logical qubit operation in its commercially available flagship quantum systems. Building on these achievements, Atom Computing went on to entangle a record-setting 24 logical qubits and executed an algorithm with 28 logical qubits in collaboration with Microsoft—groundbreaking steps toward harnessing quantum computing's full capabilities.

Atom Computing also announced that it would make its systems available for on-premises deployment as part of a joint commercial offering with Microsoft, helping expand access to quantum technology and fostering a diverse and robust quantum ecosystem.

The World's Most Innovative Companies stands as Fast Company's hallmark franchise and one of its most anticipated editorial efforts of the year. To determine honorees, Fast Company's editors and writers review companies driving progress around the world and across industries, evaluating thousands of submissions through a competitive application process. The result is a globe-spanning guide to innovation today, from early-stage startups to some of the most valuable companies in the world.

"Our list of the Most Innovative Companies offers both a comprehensive look at innovation today and a playbook for the future," said Fast Company editor-in-chief Brendan Vaughan. "This year, we recognize companies that are harnessing AI in deep and meaningful ways, brands that are turning customers into superfans by overdelivering for them, and challengers that are introducing bold ideas and vital competition to their industries. At a time when the world is rapidly shifting, these companies are charting the way forward."
