Oxford Ionics Careers

Oxford Ionics develops advanced quantum computers using trapped-ion technology. To solve complex problems in quantum computing, they bring together experts in physics, engineering, and computer science. Their teams work in the UK, the US and Switzerland, all focused on building practical quantum computers.

Oxford Ionics pioneered and patented methods to manipulate quantum bits in various ways. Instead of traditional laser systems, they use integrated electronics on silicon microchips. This approach to quantum computing is lower in cost, more easily scalable, and more durable over time than competing methods. Because of their design, systems built with standard semiconductor manufacturing processes are more compatible with modern gadgetry and computing systems.

IonQ, a prominent quantum computing company, has acquired Oxford Ionics. Oxford Ionics will continue to retain its identity as an integral component of IonQ's technology and research activities, even after the acquisition. The advancements and innovations of Oxford Ionics will assist IonQ in generating cutting-edge quantum systems for research, industry, and commercial applications. What Oxford Ionics does:

• They builds trapped-ion quantum computers
• Uses electronics instead of lasers to control qubits
• Contributes technology & research as part of IonQ
• Designs quantum chips using standard semiconductor processes.
• Develops systems that can be upgraded over time
• Creates quantum machines, that work with modern data-center infrastructure
