Universal Quantum

Universal Quantum is a quantum computing company that builds utility-scale quantum computers based on a robust, modular, and practical engineering blueprint. The company utilizes trapped ion qubit technology, electronic quantum gates, silicon microchip modules, and electric field ink modularity to create scalable quantum computing systems. Their approach focuses on solving the fundamental challenge of scaling quantum computers to sizes that can address real-world problems, using modular architecture that connects individual quantum computing units. The company employs a team of engineers, scientists, and operational staff working on practical engineering systems that require only mild cooling rather than the extreme cooling needed by some competing quantum computing approaches. Universal Quantum has received funding from UK Research and Innovation and the German Aerospace Center, and partners with leading organizations in the quantum computing field. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Brighton, United Kingdom, the company has raised approximately $5.1 million in seed funding from investors including Hoxton Ventures, Village Global, 7percent Ventures, and FoundersX Ventures.
