OpenAbout Extropic
Founded in 2022 by former Google Quantum Computing researchers, this company is pioneering a novel computing paradigm called thermodynamic computing that leverages thermal noise in CMOS devices to enable new forms of computation. The company develops Thermodynamic Sampling Units (TSUs), specialized chips designed for probabilistic computation, and operates across four core technical groups focused on algorithms, systems, physics, and integrated circuit design. With approximately 30 employees, the company represents a significant pivot from its founders' previous work in quantum computing and thermal noise suppression, now channeling that expertise toward harnessing thermal noise as a computational resource. As a technology company working in advanced computing, it operates under U.S. export control regulations including the Export Administration Regulations and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations.
