Happy International Women's Day 2025 from OQC 🫶 With so many phenomenal women working across OQC and the world, we are delighted to celebrate them this #IWD2025. Our Developer Advocate Maria Violaris, DPhil asked our female colleagues to bring in an object with a connection to their role. From quantum engineers to finance managers, office assistants to nanofabrication technicians - can you guess who does what at OQC? With this year’s theme of accelerating action, we also want to give a shoutout to some of the wonderful organisations supporting women specifically in quantum including: Quantum Women and WOMANIUM, who we were delighted to host sessions with last year! Watch our #IWD25 celebration video below 👇 #AccelerateAction #WomenInSTEM #WomenInTech #WomenInQuantum #QuantumComputing

The recent research by Oxford Economics shows quantum computing could add approximately £7,500 per household to the UK’s GDP by 2045 🚀 Equivilant to £212 billion overall to the UK economy, the modelling suggests that with the right investment and earlier commercialisation of quantum, these gains could be realised as soon as 2040!

The quantum industry is making remarkable progress, with education playing a vital role in seizing the potential presented by quantum. A strong talent pool will be an essential aspect in building quantum capabilities and preparing for the challenges of tomorrow. ThinkingBeyond is running a twelve-week research programme designed for first and second year undergrads, and eager high schoolers, to get started in the world of quantum physics and quantum computing today! 🎤 On Wednesday 12th March at 6pm CET, our Developer Advocate Maria Violaris, DPhil will be speaking on the ‘Working in Quantum’ panel from the ‘BeyondQuantum: Introduction to Quantum and Research’ programme. With the quantum computing industry set to support up to 126,100 jobs across the UK by 2045, now is the time to embark on your quantum journey to capture the benefits of a brighter quantum-enabled future. ✨ #IYQ2025 #QuantumComputing #QuantumFuture

New preprint released on arXiv 💥 In our latest research, OQC’s Materials Science & Device Engineering team have explored ways to model post-manufacture tuning of Josephson junction parameters. In this work, they explore how junction properties change during these tuning processes. The work is crucial in facilitating the creation of higher fidelity quantum computers, as understanding the techniques used to fine tune quantum processors will allow them to be further optimised. Key highlights from this research include: - We develop a model for junction tuning based on depinning theory which gives some insight into how the junction may be modified in this process. - Junctions are interrogated before and after tuning, an increase in breakdown voltage after tuning suggests that the weakest points in the barrier have been modified in this process. - Cryogenic measurements of higher excited states in qubits, which have previously been linked to the nano-scale structure in barriers, show no difference between tuned and untuned junctions. 🔗 Access the full preprint on arXiv: https://lnkd.in/eassUiMe 🔗Access our TL:DR blog: https://lnkd.in/eHw3Bqc5 Congratulations to Oscar Kennedy, Jared Cole and Connor Shelly, the authors of this research, and to the entire OQC team without whom this wouldn’t have been possible. #Quantum #JosephsonJunctions #QuantumFuture #IYQ2025

🌐 Introducing the Quantum Datacenter Alliance (QDA)! This collaborative initiative is set to bring together industry leaders from across the layers of the quantum computing stack, fostering a robust community dedicated to discussing the vast opportunities and challenges in building scalable quantum computing services. 🚀 We are delighted to be a founding participant alongside Cisco, NTT DATA, Nu Quantum , QphoX, Quantinuum and QuEra Computing Inc., and look forward to the collaborations this initiative will bring as the quantum community navigates the building of large, scalable and robust quantum computing services to bring quantum to the hands of humanity.

Quantum computing is set to bring major productivity benefits to end users over the next 30 years. But who is ready today to take the quantum leap? While quantum computers are not intended to replace conventional systems, companies relying on high-performance computers today should be engaging with quantum computing now to ensure they remain competitive in an ever evolving technological landscape. At OQC, we are HPC agnostic and have integrated our quantum solutions directly into end-users' existing digital infrastructure through deploying our devices in colocation data centres: allowing companies to develop and test quantum applications to ensure they are prepared to reap the benefits once the technology matures. This approach means we have been able to combine high-performance computing (HPC) and quantum computing all under one roof, allowing classical and quantum compute to work seamlessly together.

In October 2023, in partnership with Fujitsu, we deployed one of the first quantum computers in the world into a High Performance Computing centre - CESGA. 🌍 As part of our ongoing commitment to CESGA, we headed out to Santiago de Compostela to spend time with the fantastic team that works on QMIO. It was a thought-provoking trip exploring what industry leading research is being conducted, what future projects we can launch together, and the impact our next round of features will bring. 💭 Our collaboration with CESGA underpins how quantum integration into HPC environments represents a natural evolution of high performance computing centres. This hybrid approach enables quantum to make an impact during the NISQ-era today. CESGA is leading the way in quantum research, and OQC is proud to be powering this innovation. 🚀

Next week, on February 25th and 26th, our Business Development Manager Joseph Bilella will be attending FinovateEurope at the InterContinental O2, London. If you are attending and would like to meet with Joseph on-site during the event to discuss how to start your quantum journey, your use case, or get an introduction to OQC and quantum computing, contact us today at hello@oqc.tech. #Finovate #Quantum #QuantumComputing
