ORCA Computing is a Photonic Qubits company founded in 2019 and based in London, United Kingdom. It has raised $15M in total funding, most recently a Series A in 2022.

Digital Catapult and the NQCC select 11 orgs for a quantum access programme, using ORCA Computing's PT-2 system for industrial use-case experiments.
ORCA's entry-level photonic quantum computing system using time-bin encoding with loop-based photonic memory, operating at room temperature without cryogenic cooling. Deployed at more than seven sites by 2025, including the UK National Quantum Computing Centre and Montana State University. Integrates with NVIDIA CUDA-Q for hybrid quantum-classical machine learning and chemistry workloads. Targets researchers and enterprises exploring quantum-enhanced AI applications and near-term quantum advantage demonstrations.
ORCA's second-generation utility-scale photonic quantum system with approximately 90 photonic qubits, launched in 2025 and first shipped to customers in early 2025. Integrates with NVIDIA CUDA-Q for hybrid AI pipelines. Backed by a $37M Series B (Temasek, Baillie Gifford, NVIDIA Ventures). Deployed in partnerships with ST Engineering for quantum ML in cybersecurity and Vodafone for network optimization, demonstrating commercial-grade photonic quantum computing without cryogenic infrastructure.
11 patents on file, but none with both an extractable figure and an abstract on Google Patents yet.
