EeroQ Named to the Inaugural Allied Defense 100

The global, data-driven index recognizes private companies underwriting allied defense

CHICAGO, Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- EeroQ, the developer of scalable quantum computing hardware, has been named to the inaugural Allied Defense 100, Future Union's index of the private companies building critical capability for allied defense. EeroQ was recognized in the Sensing, Spectrum & Advanced Compute vertical.

Future Union is a bipartisan organization working to catalyze a greater private-sector role in geopolitical competition. The founding edition of the Allied Defense 100 covers 100 companies across 16 nations and $14.2 billion in verified government commitment. The list spans eight sectors, from space and autonomous systems to cyber, mission software and applied AI, advanced manufacturing, and strategic resources. Selection is not by application. Scoring is weighted toward what governments fund and field, and a company's demonstrated capability. Consulting firm Ankura Consulting, global law firm Ashurst Perkins Coie, and Silicon Valle Bank, a division of First Citizens Bank, contributed to the effort.

"Being named to the inaugural Allied Defense 100 is a meaningful validation of the work our team has put into advancing quantum computing for allied defense applications," said Nick Farina, co-founder and CEO of EeroQ. "Quantum technology is going to be foundational to the next generation of allied capabilities, and we're proud that our progress is being recognized alongside key innovators across cyber defense, advanced manufacturing and autonomous systems. We look forward to continuing to build technology that strengthens our allies' technological edge."

EeroQ builds quantum processors using electrons trapped on superfluid helium, an architecture designed for fabrication on existing CMOS lines. The approach is built to scale toward millions of qubits on a single chip using a fraction of the resources most approaches require. Scalable quantum computing is core to national security, in cryptography, sensing, and simulation.
