Infleqtion Delivers the UK\u2019s Only Operational 100-Qubit Quantum Computing System at the National Quantum Computing Centre<\/b><\/p>\n

Delivers on major UK national quantum mission goal, enabling research and application development on large-scale systems<\/i><\/p>\n

OXFORD, England–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–Infleqtion<\/a> (NYSE: INFQ), a global leader in quantum computing and quantum sensing powered by neutral-atom technology, has delivered the UK\u2019s only operational 100-physical-qubit quantum computing system at the National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) with its Sqale platform, achieving a milestone the NQCC<\/a> identified as a critical objective for the UK\u2019s quantum strategy. Achieved in December 2025, the milestone creates foundational infrastructure that will enable researchers and industry to begin working with large-scale quantum systems.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cInfleqtion\u2019s progress is a significant milestone, helping move the UK beyond research toward real-world uses,\u201d said Lord Vallance, Minister of State for Science, Research and Innovation. \u201cThese sorts of advances are vital in paving the way for us to be able to use quantum computers to deliver tangible benefits. With the talent and research expertise that we have on offer in the UK, this is an encouraging next step which helps cement our position as a world leader in one of the defining technologies of our generation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe NQCC\u2019s quantum computing testbed is among the first of its kind, advancing innovation at a global level,\u201d said Matthew Kinsella, CEO of Infleqtion. \u201cThis latest achievement with Sqale reflects the progress and potential of our neutral-atom architecture and marks an important step toward larger-scale quantum systems. We\u2019re proud to partner with the NQCC on a platform that is critical to advancing quantum computing and reinforces the UK\u2019s leadership in this essential technology.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nReaching the 100-physical-qubit level represents an important step beyond laboratory prototypes toward quantum computers that can run more complex algorithms, test error-correction approaches and support practical solutions. At this scale, quantum systems begin to support experimentation that connects more directly to real-world challenges. Researchers can begin probing applications in areas such as advanced materials, energy systems and complex optimisation. Sqale is the first neutral-atom platform of this scale deployed in an operational national facility, reinforcing its position at the forefront of quantum hardware development.<\/p>\n

\nThe NQCC\u2019s installation of the Sqale platform is part of its broader Quantum Computing Testbed Initiative. With Sqale, researchers will be able to evaluate performance, benchmark applications, and study how neutral\u2011atom systems scale. The platform is also designed to accelerate skills development, supply\u2011chain readiness and application exploration across the UK quantum ecosystem.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cHaving a system of this scale available through the NQCC is a significant step for the UK quantum community,\u201d said Dr Michael Cuthbert, Director of the NQCC. \u201cIt allows researchers to move beyond small demonstrations and begin learning what it really takes to operate and scale quantum computers in practice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThis is a defining moment for Infleqtion and the UK\u2019s ambition to build world-class sovereign quantum capabilities. Achieving this milestone has been a key goal for the UK\u2019s quantum efforts and seeing it become reality is something we are all immensely proud of,\u201d said Colin Sullivan, Managing Director of Infleqtion UK. \u201cWe look forward to expanding our partnership with UK researchers, businesses and government to unlock the full potential of quantum technology.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nInfleqtion\u2019s milestone with NQCC demonstrates continued execution on the company\u2019s technology roadmap. Infleqtion is aiming to exceed 30 logical qubits in 2026 and deliver more than 100 logical qubits in 2028, advancing toward fully fault-tolerant architectures. Because it takes anywhere from 10 to more than 1,000 physical qubits to encode a single reliable logical qubit, physical-qubit performance becomes a key limiting factor. Infleqtion\u2019s 99.73% two-qubit gate fidelity delivers industry-leading performance on the metric that matters most in quantum computing. Higher fidelity means fewer physical qubits per logical qubit, delivering a significant scalability and efficiency advantage.<\/p>\n

\nNeutral-atom architecture offers one of the clearest paths to scalable quantum computing and future commercial advantage due to its scalability, reconfigurability and strong coherence properties. Infleqtion\u2019s approach benefits from having already delivered neutral-atom systems in operational environments beyond the laboratory. Unlike many quantum computing efforts that remain confined to research settings, Infleqtion has already translated neutral-atom technology into multiple demonstrations and fielded systems, including:<\/p>\n
