Rotonium

Rotonium is a deep-tech company that specializes in the development of photonic quantum computers. The company's approach is centered on utilizing the orbital angular momentum (OAM) of photons to create qubits, which allows for the development of quantum processors that can operate at room temperature. This method contrasts with other quantum computing technologies that require cryogenic cooling, thereby offering potential advantages in terms of size, weight, and power consumption (SWaP).

The company has developed its first quantum processor, the RP000, which is a 4-photonic-qubit device. This processor is designed to run advanced quantum algorithms. Rotonium's business model appears to be focused on the design and development of these photonic quantum processor units, which could be sold or licensed to various clients in sectors that can benefit from quantum computing, such as research institutions, financial services, and the pharmaceutical industry.

Founded in 2022 with headquarters in Italy, Rotonium has secured €1 million in funding to advance its research and development efforts. The company is actively working on testing and refining its photonic chip technology, with the goal of creating scalable and minuscule quantum computers.
