Our take
The quantum world – that which consists of particles at the sub-atomic level – does not behave in the same manner as classic particle models would predict. This means scientists have a particular need for quantum technologies to model and predict outcomes within it. Oxford Ionics manufactures quantum computers to harness the "perfection of atoms" and solve the world’s most important problems.
Oxford Ionics was founded in 2019, as it became clear quantum mechanics would lead scientific modelling into the future. It uses ions trapped above the surface of a microchip as qubits for its computers, combining photonic and microwave technology to manipulate them with negligible noise and unmatched reliability. Its systems are the first to deliver computational benefits for real-world problems from quantum behaviour.
Oxford Ionics is connected to Oxford University, which has forty years of leadership in quantum physics. The company has partnered with Infineon, a semiconductor manufacturing company, towards delivering quantum computing from the lab to real industrial uses.
