Quanfluence

Quanfluence is a Bengaluru-based quantum technology startup founded in 2021 by Sujoy Chakravarty, Aditi Vaidya, Biman Chattopadhyay, Gopal Krishna Nayak, Ravi Mehta, and Anil Prabhakar. The company develops photonics-based quantum solutions including single photon detectors, advanced computing hardware, Ising machines, and qubits quantum computers. Quanfluence's Optical Ising Machine addresses problems modeled using variables and dependencies, while their continuous-variable (CV) photonic quantum computer with 1000s of qubits is designed to tackle complex problems beyond classical computers. The company raised $2 million in seed funding led by Pi Ventures, with participation from Golden Sparrow and Reena Dayal of the Quantum Ecosystems and Technology Council of India (QETCI). Quanfluence's vision is to build a general-purpose, fault-tolerant quantum computer for solving real-world, meaningful problems.
