Oxford Ionics Expands to U.S. with Colorado Office
Oxford Ionics, a developer of trapped-ion quantum computing, has opened its first international office in Boulder, Colorado. With rising demand for quantum computers, the new office will serve as a critical base for its expansion into North America. The office will be headed by professor David Allcock, who has joined the company as director of science, North America.
Oxford Ionics’ location in Boulder joins a quantum ecosystem that is already fueled by funding initiatives like Elevate Quantum, laboratories at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and JILA at University of Colorado Boulder,
which itself offers numerous research programs.
The expansion follows the company’s announcement last month regarding its
record-breaking single- and two-qubit gate fidelity results, which more than doubled the previous records.
Earlier this year, the company was selected along with six other quantum hardware developers to contribute to the U.K.’s quantum computing testbed at the National Quantum Computing Centre facilities.
