What Yaozheng Quantum Technology does

Yaozheng Quantum Technology (幺正量子), legally Hefei Yaozheng Quantum Technology Co., Ltd. (合肥幺正量子科技有限公司), is a Chinese quantum computing hardware company founded in 2023 as a spin-off from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) and the CAS Key Laboratory of Quantum Information, incubated by Academician Guo Guangcan's team. It is the only quantum computing company among USTC's first batch of intellectual property authorization spin-offs, giving it exclusive commercialization rights to certain foundational ion-trap quantum computing IP developed at the lab. The company specializes in QCCD (Quantum Charge Coupled Device) architecture ion trap quantum computing, a route widely viewed as one of the most promising for achieving fault-tolerant quantum computing by 2030.

Its product portfolio spans three core quantum computing hardware lines — a high-optical-access ion trap quantum computer, a chip-type ion trap (with proprietary electrical-connection design and world-class chip process and RF performance), and a high-optical-access blade ion trap (with decoupled vacuum/optical architecture and four-direction large numerical aperture objectives) — plus an ecosystem of supporting photoelectric subsystems including an ultra-low vibration cryostat, micro-environment temperature control, aberration-free objective lenses (including UV variants), multi-channel high-precision voltage sources, multi-channel signal acquisition systems, and ultra-stable cavities. The company also operates an ion trap quantum computing cloud service platform for remote access and usage-based quantum computing power, and offers turnkey teaching and research solutions for quantum entanglement experiments.

Commercially, Yaozheng pursues a direct enterprise sales model targeting Chinese universities, research institutions, and enterprise customers in biopharmaceuticals, new materials, electric power, energy, financial security, low-altitude economy, and equipment simulation. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of quantum computing systems and photoelectric products, plus usage-based cloud platform fees. Pricing is custom quote-based given the bespoke nature of quantum systems. The company is privately held, headquartered in Hefei High-tech Zone (Anhui Province), employs 11-50 people, and completed a Pre-A funding round in March 2026 raising hundreds of millions of yuan from a syndicate led by Ant Group and Geely Capital.
