Taiyi Quantum Computing

Taiyi Quantum Computing is a developer of quantum computing systems and software headquartered in Shanghai. The company was established in January 2026 by founder and CTO Liu Hongbin, who previously served as a chief quantum architect at Microsoft, and founder Fang Zhenghao, who comes from an investment background. This founding team combines deep industry experience in quantum architecture with financial market expertise.

The firm focuses on a neutral-atom approach to quantum computing, specifically utilizing a differentiated technological path with ytterbium atoms. This strategy is considered to be a scarce technology route, providing the company with a distinct position in the market. Taiyi Quantum develops a range of offerings, including quantum algorithms, full computing systems, and application development tools designed for enterprises and research institutions. The company's business model centers on providing these quantum research and development services to advance computational analysis and research capabilities for its clients.

Shortly after its inception, Taiyi Quantum secured significant financial backing. In March 2026, the company raised over CNY 100 million in an angel funding round from investors including Shanghai Engine Fund, Xunfei Ventures, JinkoSolar, and ABA Chemicals. This was followed by a CNY 300 million Pre-A round in June 2026, co-led by Gaorong Capital and IDG Capital, which brought the company's valuation to 1.5 billion yuan. The raised capital is allocated towards product research and development, team expansion, and the construction of its first quantum computer, with a stated goal of achieving full-machine integration and demonstrating logical qubits by the end of 2026.
