TreQ was founded in 2023 to bridge these gaps. We saw an opportunity to take the groundbreaking work happening in small teams around the world and accelerate building deployable, usable systems. Because unlocking quantum’s full potential takes more than R&D—it takes engineering, manufacturing, and integration into production environments. More than that, it takes strong, flourishing teams and a different way of working—one that values collaboration over competition to conquer complexity and humility over hype to cultivate trust.

Beyond solving today’s challenges, TreQ believes quantum should be developed with a long-term vision that benefits society as a whole. After all, this may turn out to be the most powerful technology the world has ever known. Quantum may define the next great era of human progress—just as stone, iron, industry, and digital technology did before it.

That’s why we take a triple-use approach, advancing quantum across three fronts: economic prosperity, security, and discovery. Economic and security applications often drive early adoption, but quantum’s potential extends far beyond them. Discovery fuels breakthroughs in science, medicine, materials, and more—unlocking knowledge that could transform industries and improve lives.

At TreQ, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. The best qubits may not have even been invented yet, so organizations need flexibility, not lock-in. Industry pioneers need access to multiple hardware technologies. And as quantum moves from theory to reality, the world needs honest brokers who can guide its development responsibly. That’s why we operate with agility, ensuring that quantum technology is both adaptable and aligned with client needs.

TreQ itself is built to make a difference. Our triple-use efforts are supported by a public benefit corporation subsidiary, ensuring that scientific discovery and global good remain core to our mission.

And our name (pronounced /trɛk/)? It embodies what we stand for. TreQ represents a journey, an expedition, a pathway—across languages and across frontiers. The bold Q marks us as a quantum company. Tre means three in many languages, a nod to our triple-use approach. And we are a high-EQ business; though we’re a deep-tech company, our work is driven by human connection, a global explorer’s mindset, and a commitment to stewardship—for our clients, employees, suppliers, and investors alike.

TreQ is crisp, like mountain air. It’s short, memorable, and signals what we stand for: fresh thinking and a quantum future built with purpose.
