Matthew Kinsella
The CEO who took Infleqtion (formerly ColdQuanta) public on the NYSE in 2025, making it the first publicly traded neutral-atom quantum company.
Matthew Kinsella serves as CEO of Infleqtion, the publicly traded neutral-atom quantum company (NYSE: INFQ) headquartered in Boulder. Under his tenure the company went public on NYSE in November 2025 via a SPAC business combination with Churchill Capital Corp X, at a $1.8B pre-money equity value with over $540M in gross transaction proceeds (including a $126.5M PIPE), becoming the first publicly traded neutral-atom quantum business.
Kinsella has been a public voice for the company through its post-IPO transition, including its first earnings call as a NYSE-listed company. Infleqtion now ships three distinct commercial products: a gate-based neutral atom quantum computer, an atomic clock currently operating in Earth orbit, and a quantum sensor in active defense deployment.
The company's commercial breadth (computer, clock, sensor) is unusually wide for a quantum hardware business, and reflects the full arc from the 2001 and 2005 Nobel Prize-winning research at NIST and JILA to publicly traded products.
