SpinQ

What SpinQ does

SpinQ (legal name Shenzhen SpinQ Technology Co., Ltd.) is a private Chinese quantum computing company founded in 2018 and headquartered in Shenzhen, where it operates its own superconducting quantum chip research, development, and pilot production line covering design, process development, fabrication, packaging, and testing. The company sells a full-stack product ecosystem spanning industrial-grade superconducting quantum computers (SpinQ SQC, QPU C Series), education-grade NMR quantum computers (Gemini, Gemini Mini/Mini Pro, Gemini Lab, Triangulum, Triangulum Mini), the SpinQ Cloud platform, the SpinQ QEDA automated QPU design tool, and the SpinQit Python-based quantum programming framework. It also offers QPU foundry services for external customers and scenario-based solutions targeted at quantum education, fintech, biomedical, and AI applications.

SpinQ's business model combines hardware sales (quote-based superconducting systems under multi-year contracts with enterprises and research institutions, plus lower-priced NMR units for universities and K12), recurring subscription revenue from SpinQ Cloud, and managed services such as QPU foundry and scenario-based consulting. The company reports commercial reach in 40+ countries across five continents, serving more than 200 universities, research institutions, and industry partners. Named customers include Huaxia Bank (via its Longying Zhida subsidiary) for quantum AI banking decisions, BGI Research for genome assembly via VQE and distributed quantum-classical hybrid algorithms, and academic partners including Hubei University, Mindanao State University, and Kaunas University of Technology.

Go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven: SpinQ operates direct enterprise sales with regional phone and WhatsApp channels, pairs hardware with curriculum in joint teaching labs, and showcases products at international academic events. In 2026 the company raised approximately RMB 2 billion across a Series C+ round (April 2026, RMB 600 million) and a Series D round (June 2026, RMB 1 billion), achieving unicorn status with backing from CICC Capital, Shenzhen TopoScend Capital, Shanghai Semiconductor Industry Investment, AVIC Honghua, and Shanghai SEARI Private Equity Investment Management. Proceeds are earmarked for fault-tolerant general-purpose quantum computer R&D, manufacturing process upgrades, and global ecosystem expansion.
