Quantum Circuits says it is focused on fault-tolerant, commercial-ready quantum computing through dual-rail superconducting qubits with built-in error detection. Its website describes quantum error detection, real-time control flow, and error detection handling as core features of its hardware and software approach.

The company states it was founded in 2015 by scientists from Yale University, including Rob Schoelkopf. On its company page, Quantum Circuits presents itself as part of D-Wave Quantum Inc. and describes its approach as "correct first, then scale," emphasizing error-aware superconducting hardware rather than qubit-count competition.

The site also references the Aqumen Seeker and an Alpha Program for running applications on its hardware. Leadership information on the company page names Ray Smets as President and CEO, Rob Schoelkopf as Chief Scientist and Co-Founder, and Luigi Frunzio as Chief Technologist and Co-Founder.
