Booz Allen Hamilton and SEEQC are expanding their partnership to speed the development of quantum computers by tackling core engineering challenges such as error correction, energy efficiency and scaling devices for full-scale use.
As part of the collaboration, Booz Allen’s quantum software will be integrated into SEEQC’s stack to help develop the software and firmware linking classical and quantum components and speed progress toward the first large-scale quantum computer.
“The moment for whole-of-nation quantum innovation and investment is now,” said Bill Vass, chief technology officer at Booz Allen. “Our national security and global standing depend on it. Booz Allen’s work with SEEQC this year will allow us to provide mission-ready quantum solutions to our clients more quickly, and this expanded partnership will strengthen our ability to build the solutions that will bring the U.S. one step closer to realizing its quantum potential.”
Booz Allen has worked with clients for more than a decade to advance quantum information science and technology, including quantum computing and quantum-resistant encryption for current missions. Founded in 2018, SEEQC has focused on developing infrastructure that integrates control and readout electronics with qubit chips to build full-stack quantum processors.
“We are excited to deepen SEEQC’s collaboration with Booz Allen to ensure that the U.S. is leading the charge on a global scale,” said John Levy, CEO of SEEQC. “Combining our reliable digital chip-based quantum hardware with Booz Allen’s long-standing expertise in quantum software, we are equipped to unlock potential, turning quantum innovation into practical solutions for our clients at speed and scale.”
Booz Allen announced its investment in SEEQC in January 2025 to support hardware and software advances critical to scalable quantum computing.
