QCI, a private venture founded in 2015, is focused on developing a full-stack quantum computing platform using superconducting devices and a scalable architecture. The company's long-term goal is to build the first truly useful quantum computers, while also commercializing components, devices, and software to accelerate research and enable the scaling of quantum computing. QCI has partnered with Microsoft on its Azure Quantum initiative, allowing customers to run programs on QCI's prototype quantum computer while leveraging Microsoft's quantum software and development tools.
