Taiyi Liangsheng Raises Over 1 Billion Yuan, Accelerating Toward Large-Scale Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing

On October 10, Taiyi Liangsheng announced the completion of a new funding round. Just over eight months since its founding, the company has raised more than RMB 1 billion in total, demonstrating rapid capital accumulation and growth momentum.

This round brings together market-oriented professional investment institutions, state-backed platforms, and industrial capital: new investors include Jinqiu Fund, Cedarlake Capital, Hongruida Investment, Chengdu High-Tech Vision Fund, and Lingang Frontier Investment, while existing shareholders Huakong Fund, Hengxu Capital, BioTrack Capital, Gaomai Investment, and Yarui Capital continued to invest above their pro-rata allocations. The participation of all three types of capital reflects firm conviction in the ytterbium (Yb) neutral-atom technical approach, the systems-engineering path, and the long-term value of next-generation computing. Gaorong Ventures previously co-led the company's Pre-A round in May 2026.

The proceeds will primarily fund continued R&D investment and ecosystem development, including global scientific talent recruitment, deepening capabilities in quantum error correction and systems engineering, and industrial partnerships and open-source ecosystem building — all to support the long-term development of large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computing.

Building Differentiated Quantum Computing System Capabilities from a Fault-Tolerance Endgame

The quantum computing industry has always faced a fundamental challenge: how to translate ever-larger physical qubit counts into genuinely correctable, scalable, computationally useful logical power.

From its inception, Taiyi Liangsheng chose a differentiated innovation path: using large-scale fault tolerance as the north star to guide technical choices and system design. It has pursued an integrated layout spanning the physical substrate, system architecture, quantum error correction, real-time control, and software stack — with the ytterbium (Yb) atomic system at its core — to advance a general-purpose quantum computing platform oriented toward practical deployment and scalability.

Truly practical quantum computing requires not just scale, but the sustained ability to control errors, execute computations, and scale further as size increases. The transition from physical scale to large-scale fault tolerance is the critical stage quantum computing must cross to become practically useful.

Three Engineering Advances Threading the Key Technical Chain for Large-Scale Fault Tolerance

Practical quantum computing requires coordination across the full machine, real-time control, and software systems: the machine provides the physical substrate, real-time control handles measurement, feedback, and manipulation, and the compiler connects upper-level algorithms to underlying hardware. Together these three form the critical technical chain from physical system to executed computation.

In just over eight months since founding, Taiyi Liangsheng has achieved key engineering progress on all three fronts.

Full prototype integration in six months. Neutral-atom quantum computing systems involve atom manipulation, vacuum, laser, optical, measurement and control, real-time control, software, and numerous other complex modules. Taiyi Liangsheng completed full prototype integration in just six months, moving discrete technical modules into a unified system with coordinated debugging — advancing R&D from single-point breakthroughs to systems engineering.

Real-time control latency enters the 10-microsecond regime. Taiyi Liangsheng has preliminarily closed the loop from camera input through data processing to atom rearrangement, with real-time control latency reaching the 10-microsecond level — matching world-class benchmarks. This establishes critical engineering foundations for subsequent continuous loading, quantum manipulation, and automated error correction.

Quantum compiler "LUOSHU" open-sourced globally. The compiler connects upper-level algorithms to underlying physical hardware, translating computational tasks into low-level operations executable by the quantum system. Open-sourcing LUOSHU further lowers the barrier for developers, providing an open foundation for research in algorithms, compilation, and hardware-software co-design.

From physical substrate to real-time control to software stack, Taiyi Liangsheng is building a hardware-software co-designed technical system oriented toward large-scale fault tolerance. Dr. Liu Hongbin, founder and CTO of Taiyi Liangsheng, stated: "Fault-tolerant computing is not a breakthrough in any single technical metric, but a complete systems engineering endeavor. What we are truly trying to do is translate ever-expanding physical scale into correctable, scalable, computable system capability."

"5+2" Industrial Exploration: From Real Industries to a Next-Generation Computing Ecosystem

In parallel with systems engineering, Taiyi Liangsheng continues expanding the connections between quantum computing and real industries, as well as next-generation computing infrastructure.

To date, Taiyi Liangsheng has established joint research, scenario exploration, technical validation, and POC collaborations with research institutions and industrial enterprises across five priority sectors: nuclear industry, energy and chemicals, new energy and new materials, biomedicine, and finance. It is also actively exploring frontier computing directions including Quantum×AI and complex optimization, while further connecting with next-generation computing ecosystems.

These collaborations are developing along two vectors: First, downward into real industrial problems. Around complex scientific computing, chemical and materials simulation, energy dispatch, and complex optimization, the company is gaining earlier understanding of which real industrial problems carry sufficient computational value and what algorithmic and system capabilities will be needed in the future. Second, outward to connect with next-generation computing infrastructure, exploring possible paths for QPUs to collaborate with AI, HPC, and cloud computing and enter real research and industrial workflows.

Taiyi Liangsheng is exploring paths for quantum computing to enter next-generation computing systems, starting from real industrial problems.

Nearly 100 Global Scientific and Engineering Talents Assembled, Building an Interdisciplinary R&D System for Fault Tolerance

Behind a systems engineering effort like quantum computing, top talent is a strategic asset that determines generational technical advantage. Since its founding in January 2026, Taiyi Liangsheng has assembled nearly 100 global scientific and engineering talents, building an interdisciplinary R&D system covering quantum physics, system architecture, optics, control, software, and algorithms.

Core members come from top domestic and international universities including MIT, University of Cambridge, University of Pennsylvania, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Tsinghua University, and Peking University; world-leading research institutions including JILA and the Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) in Singapore; and global technology leaders including Microsoft and Zurich Instruments.

More notably, Taiyi Liangsheng is developing direct appeal for top-tier global quantum technology talent. The team already includes foreign scientists and engineers who chose to come to China and join Taiyi Liangsheng; some of them received simultaneous offers from overseas leading neutral-atom quantum computing companies such as QuEra and Oratomic, yet ultimately chose Taiyi Liangsheng. This means Chinese quantum technology enterprises are evolving from primarily attracting overseas Chinese to return, toward directly competing with international leaders in the global talent market.

These scientific and engineering talents from diverse disciplines, countries, and industrial backgrounds collaborate around unified system objectives — the foundation for Taiyi Liangsheng's rapid advancement across the full machine, control, error correction, and software stack.

Gathering Global Innovation Forces, Accelerating Toward the Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing Era

The 15th Five-Year Plan incorporates quantum technology into forward-looking future industry planning, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and six other ministries have proposed advancing fault-tolerant general-purpose quantum computing development. As quantum computing competition shifts from single-point physical metrics to systems engineering competition, building scalable, correctable complete computing systems is becoming a critical proposition for the industry's next phase.

To date, Taiyi Liangsheng has established momentum with its "four-horse carriage" of talent density, engineering progress, capital velocity, and industrial breadth advancing in coordination. CEO Fang Zhenghao stated: "Quantum computing is a long-cycle systems engineering endeavor. Capital must ultimately be converted into engineering capability; behind engineering capability is talent density; and technology must ultimately empower industry. Taiyi Liangsheng aims to organize talent, technology, capital, and industrial forces together, continuously advancing toward fault-tolerant quantum computing, and making the future of fault-tolerant computing happen in China."

From a single ytterbium atom to a complete system; from core technology R&D to real industrial problems — Taiyi Liangsheng will continue advancing systems engineering and industrial exploration, accelerating toward large-scale fault tolerance.
