Infleqtion Selected to Power the UK's Largest Quantum Computing Breakthrough
As part of a £2.2M project, Infleqtion will deliver 100x performance gains at the National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) advancing the UK's most promising neutral atom platform OXFORD, England, June 09, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Infleqtion, a global leader in quantum information technologies, today announced a second grant from the UK government to further accelerate the performance of its neutral atom quantum computing platform, Sqale. The project aims to increase gate execution rate by 10–100x, a major advance in the scalability and capability of quantum hardware, critical for making quantum systems commercially viable. The initiative builds upon Infleqtion's strategic presence at the NQCC in Harwell, Oxfordshire, home to one of the UK's most advanced quantum testbeds. Infleqtion's Sqale neutral atom quantum computer positions the company as a cornerstone of the UK's national quantum infrastructure. "Infleqtion's UK team is pushing the limits of what's possible in quantum computing performance," said Tom Noel, VP of Quantum Computing at Infleqtion. "By combining the unique strengths of neutral atom technology with advanced optical control and characterisation frameworks at the NQCC, we are enabling faster, deeper, and more reliable quantum circuits." The 12-month programme, named SQALE2, will be developed in collaboration with leading UK research institutions, including the Fraunhofer Centre for Applied Photonics, the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), the University of Strathclyde, and the NQCC's Quantum Software Lab at the University of Edinburgh. The funding will support the development of new optical and control technologies that allow multiple quantum operations to run at the same time. This parallel processing approach is expected to increase the effective rate of gate execution by 10–100x, a critical improvement for running complex quantum algorithms more quickly and efficiently. "Advancing gate speed is essential for unlocking the full potential of quantum computing," said Professor Elham Kashefi, Chief Scientist, NQCC. "This collaboration with Infleqtion and the Quantum Software Lab, exemplifies the UK's commitment to building world-leading quantum capabilities that are both scalable and application-ready." Infleqtion's platform manipulates individual neutral atoms, nature's ideal qubits, using laser light, eliminating the need for fabricated solid-state qubits. This approach offers superior stability, flexibility, and control, alongside a high degree of scalability. "Neutral atom systems have long demonstrated compelling architectural advantages," said Ryan Hanley, President, Infleqtion UK. "This project shows that performance and speed can scale too, thanks to the strength of the UK's collaborative innovation ecosystem." Joint Innovation and Evaluation In partnership with the Fraunhofer Centre for Applied Photonics, Infleqtion will deploy next-generation optical technologies to enable parallelised gate execution. These enhancements will accelerate circuit speeds and further improve gate fidelities, paving the way for deeper quantum workflows and broader application readiness. To ensure transparency and build trust in the results, the project includes independent verification and benchmarking through partners at NPL, the University of Strathclyde, and the Quantum Software Lab at the University of Edinburgh. These teams will validate performance improvements using both industry-standard benchmarks and new verification frameworks developed under this programme. This funding award follows a series of UK-focused initiatives by Infleqtion, including the deployment of its Sqale quantum computer at the NQCC and collaborative efforts with government and academic partners. The project reinforces the UK's growing role in shaping the future of scalable, high-performance quantum technologies.

JPMorgan Chase releases open source quantum software library
JPMorgan Chase and technology company Infleqtion have released a new open source quantum software library designed to improve the efficiency of potential applications and use cases. 1 The qLDPC library introduces advanced error-correction techniques that enable 10-100x reductions in the number of physical qubits required to run quantum programs. This step-change improvement addresses the sheer scale of hardware typically needed to achieve practical fault tolerance. Historically, building a fault-tolerant quantum computer has required massive overhead: it's been estimated that a single logical, error-corrected qubit might need up to 1,500 physical qubits to function reliably. By contrast, the new library reduces that requirement to between 15 and 150, depending on the implementation, dramatically shrinking the hardware footprint needed for real-world applications. To encourage collaboration and ongoing innovation, qLDPC is available as an open-source library, allowing developers, researchers, and hardware partners to engage directly with the codebase. The project is intended as a shared foundation for quantum developers to explore new methods for improving error correction and optimizing quantum workloads across a variety of platforms. 'Efficient error correction is one of the key enablers for commercially relevant quantum computing,' says Pranav Gokhale, general manager of Computing, Infleqtion. 'Through our work with JPMorgan, we're showing how software and hardware innovation, especially the flexibility of our Sqale quantum processor, can work together to move the financial industry toward commercial use of quantum computing faster.' JPMorgan Chae is at the forefront of quantum experiementation in the financial sector. The bank accounts for two-thirds of all quantum job postings among tracked banks and has published more than half of all quantum-related research papers.
