Key Takeaways:

Strategic Expansion: Infleqtion opens a new 7,500 sq. ft. facility in Oxford Technology Park.

Recent Achievements: Includes breakthroughs in aviation, precision timekeeping, and quantum computing.

Industry Leadership: Collaborations with academia, industry, and government drive quantum innovation.

Infleqtion has announced the expansion of its operations in Oxford, signaling its continued commitment to advancing quantum technology. This strategic move aims to strengthen the UK’s quantum ecosystem and support national goals in security, infrastructure, and economic growth. The new facility, located in Oxford Technology Park, spans 7,500 sq. ft. and provides state-of-the-art resources for research and development.

The company will showcase its contributions at the UK National Quantum Technologies Showcase 2024, demonstrating its role in transforming sectors such as healthcare, energy, and finance through quantum advancements.

Recent Achievements

Infleqtion’s accomplishments this year highlight its position at the forefront of quantum technology. In March 2024, the company achieved a world-first by generating Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) during flight. This demonstration, alongside the deployment of its optical atomic clock, Tiqker, represents a leap forward in positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) technology, addressing GPS vulnerabilities.

In June, Infleqtion delivered the first commercially available optical atomic clock to the University of Strathclyde, advancing precision timekeeping capabilities. In July, it installed a neutral atom quantum computer at the National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC), further enhancing the UK's quantum infrastructure.

"Our work with partners across government, industry, and academia demonstrates the real-world impact of quantum technology. Together, we are building a future where the UK leads on the global stage, delivering solutions that will benefit generations to come."

— Tim Ballance, President of Infleqtion UK
Strategic Partnerships

Infleqtion’s collaboration with Thorlabs, as part of the UK-funded QT Assemble project, aims to accelerate the commercialisation of quantum technologies. The partnership involves licensing advanced optical fibre collimation packages, expediting quantum research and development.

These initiatives highlight Infleqtion’s commitment to fostering partnerships that bring quantum innovations to market while providing practical solutions for a variety of industries.
