The firm behind the world\u2019s first quantum computing system-on-a-chip, is installing the UK\u2019s first-of-its-kind cross-qubit scaling platform at the National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) in Oxfordshire, UKTN can reveal.<\/p>\n
SEEQC\u2019s digital chip-based technology, powered by its Single Flux Quantum (SFQ) architecture, will power the core of the cross-qubit platform at NQCC\u2019s Harwell Campus. SEEQC will develop and test the technologies and supply chain systems needed to improve quantum efficiency, build scalable architectures and components and grow UK quantum expertise.<\/p>\n
New York-based SEEQC said the installation marks a pivotal progression for the company and supports the drive to shift from research and experimentation to scaling and industrialisation.<\/p>\n
Minister for Investment Baroness Gustafsson said: \u201cSEEQC\u2019s installation marks a significant step forward in the UK\u2019s journey to be a leading quantum-enabled economy by 2033.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis an exciting moment for the UK\u2019s quantum sector and our upcoming Industrial Strategy will not only help foster innovation in the industry but deliver long-term, stable growth, supporting our Plan for Change.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr Matthew Hutchings, co-founder and Chief Product Officer at SEEQC, said: \u201cOur scaling Platform is a game-changer for quantum industrialisation.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not just about adding more qubits \u2013 it\u2019s about building the software platform, infrastructure, supply chains, and technologies needed to take quantum systems from lab experiments to scalable, enterprise-ready systems.\u201d<\/p>\n
Founded in 2019, SEEQC has\u00a0become a go-to partner for some of the industry\u2019s biggest players, including NVIDIA, BASF, BAH and NASA. The company recently raised $30 million in funding<\/a>, bringing its total raised to $62 million.<\/p>\n The NQCC, a new national quantum facility that will house 12 quantum computers, was officially opened by Science Minister Lord Vallance in October last year.<\/p>\n Each of the new quantum computers at the 4,000 square meter facility have been designed to push the boundaries of what is possible with the emerging technology. It will house a wide range of quantum computing platforms, uniquely offering open access to industry, academia, and other sectors across the UK, with more than 70 staff and 30 PhD studentships.<\/p>\n The UK is home to the second-largest quantum sector globally, with more than 100 privately-owned quantum computing companies.<\/p>\n Podcast: Could the UK lead the world in quantum computing? \u2013 Dr Chris Ballance, founder, Oxford Ionics<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \t\t\t
