Quantum component manufacturer Infleqtion has successfully demonstrated a 16x16 neutral atom array, the largest reported array of its kind in the UK, a step which the company notes is crucial toward building scalable quantum processors capable of supporting fault-tolerant quantum computing.
“We are now operating the largest reported neutral atom array in the UK, laying the groundwork for the nation’s leadership in fault-tolerant quantum computing,” said Tom Noel, VP of quantum computing at Infleqtion. “This milestone brings us closer to demonstrating the core technologies required for high-fidelity quantum gates and large-scale quantum processors, unlocking real-world applications in optimization, materials science, and beyond.”
In addition to the recent demonstration at NQCC, Infleqtion is also integrating advanced gate laser systems to enable full quantum logic operations at the center, supporting the UK’s ambition of establishing a 100+ qubit quantum computing capability at NQCC by 2025.
