IOP recognises “great business idea founded on a physics invention, with the potential for business growth and significant societal impact” — We are thrilled to announce that Universal Quantum has been awarded a prestigious Institute of Physics Business Start-up Award for its work developing the world’s first million-qubit quantum computer. …

As the UK’s new prime minister starts her first full day in office, Universal Quantum’s head of comms Gemma Church examines how a quantum computer could help Liz Truss address the nation’s problems. It’s the first day that few would relish. The new UK prime minister faces “a mass of…

Our quantum engineer, Joe Randall, explains quantum logic gates and how they can be realised in quantum computers today. — Quantum computers regularly hit the headlines, promising to impact everything from drug discovery to aviation. But how do they really work? Quantum logic gates are one of the essential parts of a quantum computer and are the building blocks of all quantum algorithms. Traditional logic gates

Our head of talent, Samantha Edmondson, explains how we set our company values to reflect Universal Quantum’s culture. Spoiler: it features a lot of food and some quantum puns! — At Universal Quantum, we’re building a million-qubit quantum computer. That’s been our focus from day one and it’s also a big ambition. We know we can’t do that without the right people and culture in place. As we continue to scale both our technology and our company, we wanted to…

Our head of comms, Gemma Church, conducts a (completely unscientific) study to discover what people really think about our work at Universal Quantum. — At Universal Quantum, the team has one goal. We want to make the world’s first million-qubit quantum computer. Why? Because to unlock the full potential of quantum computing and change the world for the better, we need to reach the million-qubit scale.

It’s National Tea Day and our head of comms, Gemma Church, is taking a moment to ponder how quantum computing could help us “brew more, do more”. The UK’s love of tea is so deep that collectively we consume more than 60 billion cups a year, upwards of 165 million…

Our head of talent, Samantha Edmondson, talks about what it takes to work in quantum computing with some insights into our hiring process. Quantum computing is getting big. There’s a lot of noise in this space as these powerful machines start to scale up and unlock a world of possibilities…

Our VP of engineering and product, Unmesh Sahasrabuddhe, explains why Universal Quantum’s unique architecture is perfectly placed to face the million-qubit challenge. There’s still a long road ahead to scale quantum computers to the million-qubit range and get to the point where they can do anything “really useful” for society. …

Our quantum architect and lead author, Mark Webber, explains how a recent paper reveals how many qubits you may need to break Bitcoin encryption and simulate the FeMoco molecule. With the advent of quantum computers, the race to a quantum computational advantage has gained serious traction in both the academic…
