Quantum Motion
Quantum Motion is a UK-based quantum computing scale-up founded by academics from University College London and Oxford University. The company develops scalable quantum computing architectures using silicon-based integrated circuit technology compatible with standard silicon processing, aiming to create fault tolerant quantum processors with up to one million qubits. Their technology leverages the existing CMOS semiconductor manufacturing processes to enable mass production of quantum chips, targeting applications in chemistry, medicine, artificial intelligence, and optimization. Quantum Motion has demonstrated rapid large-scale characterization of quantum devices fabricated with commercial semiconductor processes and collaborates with partners like GlobalFoundries and academic institutions. The company is backed by leading investors including Bosch Ventures, Sony Innovation Fund, and British Patient Capital, and is expanding operations with labs in London, Oxford, and Sydney. Their business model focuses on product development and commercialization of scalable silicon quantum computing technology.
