Nord Quantique Bosonic
Multi-mode bosonic qubits claiming a 1:1 physical-to-logical ratio — the highest-asymmetry bet in DARPA QBI Stage B.
Multi-mode bosonic qubits claiming a 1:1 physical-to-logical ratio — the highest-asymmetry bet in DARPA QBI Stage B.

Bull case
▲ upsideIf the 1:1 ratio claim holds at scale, Nord could leapfrog larger superconducting players on overhead. DARPA QBI Stage B selection (Nov 2025) with disclosed $5M initial + $15M extension structure. Canadian Quantum Champions Program funding.
Bear case
▼ downsideSmallest funded company in QBI Stage B cohort by ~10×. 47 employees is sub-scale to compete with IBM/Google teams of 1000+. The 1:1 ratio is the most aggressive theoretical claim in the cohort — IV&V will scrutinize whether overhead is hidden in time, photon number, or cat-state fidelity.
