Qu & Co

Qu & Co was a Dutch quantum-computing algorithms and software company focused on applications in computational chemistry, materials science, optimization, finance, and machine learning rather than a drug-development biotech pipeline. The company developed quantum software and application platforms, including QUBEC for chemistry and materials science use cases, and worked with enterprise customers in sectors including healthcare and pharmaceuticals. Qu & Co collaborated with pharmaceutical companies such as Janssen Pharmaceuticals on quantum methods for pharmaceutical R&D, but it was not itself a therapeutics developer. In January 2022, Qu & Co merged with PASQAL, a neutral-atom quantum computing company, and is best characterized today as an acquired/merged former quantum software company with relevance to life-science R&D tooling rather than a healthcare company.
