Quantum Motion Installs Full-Stack Silicon Quantum Computer at UK Test Centre

Independent testing now begins to verify performance and scalability.

Overview

  • The London startup delivered and switched on the system at the National Quantum Computing Centre in Oxfordshire for evaluation.
  • Built using standard CMOS fabrication with qubits produced in commercial 300 mm foundries, the machine targets mass manufacturability.
  • The hardware fits into three standard 19‑inch racks, integrating a dilution refrigerator and cryogenic control electronics for data‑centre deployment.
  • A complete control and software stack exposes interfaces compatible with frameworks such as Qiskit and Cirq.
  • Quantum Motion calls the system a first-of-its-kind silicon approach with a tile-based design aimed at millions of qubits and fault tolerance, though published performance metrics and independent benchmarks are still pending.
