Moth builds software that turns quantum computer output into games, music and graphics, aiming to give people something to play rather than read about. Its free browser game Quantum Backrooms, launched in May 2026, generates each maze from live runs on IBM and IQM processors, with qubits mapped to sections of the game world; an earlier multiplayer Roblox game, Space Moths, was shown at Gamescom 2025. Co-founded by Harry Kumar and Ilyas Khan, now its non-executive chairman, the company has a street-level space on D'Arblay Street in Soho, where it ran the Moth Hack drop-in sessions and hackathon in September 2026.
