Workflows
How to Use the Quantum Navigator
The Quantum Navigator is built around four workflows that mirror how analysts actually research the industry. Each one starts from a different question and ends at a sourced, current answer. None of them require training or documentation to follow, because every view is a filterable list or map rather than a dashboard you have to configure. If you have used a stock screener or a startup database before, the patterns will feel familiar within a minute.
Find every company in a country
Open the directory and filter by country to see the full national ecosystem, from listed hardware makers to two-person software startups. Pair the result with our country guides linked below to understand the policy and funding context behind the raw count. The eight largest national ecosystems are linked directly from the snapshot table further down this page, so the two views are never more than a click apart.
Screen the public quantum stocks
The investment tracker lists all 27 publicly traded quantum companies with their tickers and listing venues. Use it to build a watchlist in minutes, then follow the funding feed to see how private rounds compare with public valuations.
Follow the investors
Every one of the 268 tracked investors links to the companies it has backed, so you can trace a fund's quantum thesis across its whole portfolio. This is the fastest way to spot which venture firms are doubling down and which corporates are quietly building positions.
Map a technology sector
The technology stack view arranges the industry by layer, from qubit processors and control electronics up to error correction, cloud platforms, and applications. Pick a layer to see every company operating in it, then jump to the map to see where that sector clusters geographically.

What the sector numbers tell you
Companies in the dataset carry multiple sector labels, because real businesses rarely fit one box; a superconducting hardware maker usually ships software and sells research services too. That is why the sector counts add up to more than 1,165, and it is also what makes the breakdown useful: it shows where commercial activity concentrates rather than how firms describe themselves.
Hardware leads with 316 companies, having overtaken software during 2026 as new fabrication, cryogenics, and control-electronics ventures came out of stealth. Research organisations (309) and software firms (302) sit just behind, while the component supply chain (193) is the quiet story: the picks-and-shovels layer growing fastest as the industry moves from lab demonstrations to manufactured systems.
Communications (169) and sensing (134) round out the applied layers, and both are increasingly where national programmes place their public procurement. If you want to see how these sectors distribute geographically, every filter on the Quantum Navigator map can be combined with a sector label.
Open Where the Rest of the Market Is Gated
Most quantum market intelligence sits behind a sales call, an unpublished price list, and a rounded number on a landing page. Quantum Navigator takes the opposite position: the full directory, map, investment tracker, and technology stack are open to everyone, on day one, at no cost.
Openness also means exact figures rather than marketing counts. When this page says 1,165 companies and 27 listed stocks, those are live numbers you can click through and verify yourself. Analysts, journalists, and investors are welcome to cite the figures with attribution, and the platform itself is always one click away for anyone who wants to check the source.
Where the Data Comes From
Every profile is compiled from primary public sources. Entangled Future's analysts track company announcements, stock-exchange and regulatory filings, funding disclosures, and national quantum programme documents, and entries are checked against those sources before they are published.
Each record captures where a company is based, what it builds, and the sectors it operates in. Of the 1,165 companies in the directory, 1,131 carry verified locations and appear on the interactive map.
The dataset is refreshed daily as companies are founded, funded, acquired, or listed. The headline figures on this page are reviewed against the platform on a regular cycle, so the counts you see here stay close to the live numbers.
Who Runs the Quantum Navigator
Quantum Navigator is built and operated by Entangled Future, a quantum market intelligence company. Its analysts maintain the underlying dataset: 1,165 companies across 52 countries, 268 active investors, 27 publicly traded quantum stocks, and a running record of the industry's funding rounds and milestones.
The dataset is refreshed daily as new companies launch, close funding rounds, or list on public markets. Quantum Zeitgeist draws on the same data in our company and country reporting, and the platform is free to use with no account required.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How many quantum computing companies are there?
Quantum Navigator tracks 1,165 quantum technology companies across 52 countries as of July 2026. The count covers hardware, software, components, communications, sensing, and research organisations, and it changes daily as companies launch, merge, or wind down.
Is Quantum Navigator free to use?
Yes. The full directory, interactive map, investment tracker, and technology stack are free, with no account, no demo call, and no paywall. It is built and run by Entangled Future.
Who runs Quantum Navigator?
Quantum Navigator is built and operated by Entangled Future, a quantum market intelligence company. Quantum Zeitgeist draws on the same dataset in its company and country reporting.
How often is the Quantum Navigator data updated?
The dataset is refreshed daily as new companies launch, close funding rounds, or list on public markets. The headline figures on this page are reviewed against the platform on a regular cycle.
Which country has the most quantum computing companies?
The United States leads with 344 quantum computing companies, followed by the United Kingdom with 110, Germany with 86, and Canada with 66. China, Japan, and France each host around fifty.
Can I use Quantum Navigator data in my own work?
Yes, the platform is open and the headline figures are intended to be cited. Reference Quantum Navigator by Entangled Future with a link when you reuse counts or rankings, and check the live platform for the current numbers before publishing, since the dataset changes daily.
What is the difference between Quantum Navigator and Entangled Future?
Entangled Future is the market intelligence company; Quantum Navigator is the free data and intelligence platform it builds and operates. Quantum Zeitgeist covers the same industry as a daily news publication and draws on the Navigator dataset in its reporting.
Does the directory include universities and government labs?
The directory focuses on commercial companies and commercially active research organisations, 309 of which carry the research label. Government activity shows up through the funding and milestone records instead, from national programme awards to DARPA Quantum Benchmarking Initiative selections, so public-sector influence on the industry is visible without diluting the company count.
How many quantum computing stocks are publicly traded?
Quantum Navigator tracks 27 publicly listed quantum stocks, including IonQ (IONQ), D-Wave Quantum (QBTS), Rigetti Computing (RGTI), Quantinuum (QNT), IQM (IQMX), and Infleqtion (INFQ). The list changes as companies list or delist.
