Construction is underway on a new quantum innovation centre that will expand research, manufacturing, and systems integration capabilities threefold.
T-SQUARED is constructing the facility in Oxford for Infleqtion UK at Oxford Technology Park.
The initiative aims to grow Infleqtion’s capabilities in research, manufacturing, and systems integration while enhancing the United Kingdom’s position in quantum computing, sensing, and precision timing.
Connor McAleer, director at T-SQUARED, expressed enthusiasm about partnering with Infleqtion UK on the design and construction of the new Quantum Innovation Centre in Oxford. He noted that working on facilities at the forefront of the quantum sector presents both challenges and engagement opportunities. The team looks forward to maintaining collaborative efforts with Infleqtion during the transition from design to delivery over the coming weeks.
The centre will support Infleqtion’s next phase of growth and assist in recruiting leading talent to Britain’s quantum sector.
Colin Sullivan MBE, managing director of Infleqtion UK, stated that the company is committed to ensuring Britain maintains its position as a global leader in quantum technology, with the substantial economic and societal benefits this technology can deliver being realised domestically. He explained that achieving this requires the highest quality and most technologically advanced infrastructure, delivered quickly. T-SQUARED was selected for this infrastructure project because they inspired full confidence in their ability to meet the demanding vision for this cutting-edge Quantum Innovation Centre.
Construction commenced immediately after the design phase concluded.
T-SQUARED deployed advanced technology on site, including a construction layout robot that transfers design drawings onto the floor with millimetre accuracy.
Quantum technology harnesses the distinctive behaviour of matter and light at the atomic scale to perform tasks that conventional electronics cannot accomplish with the same level of accuracy or power.
The UK Government defines quantum technologies as those employing atomic-scale phenomena to manipulate information and drive progress in computing, sensing, timing, imaging, and communications.
T-SQUARED is an employee-owned business that designs, builds, validates, and maintains specialised facilities for highly regulated industries.
Its portfolio encompasses cleanrooms, biotechnology laboratories, pharmaceutical sites, advanced manufacturing centres, and quantum computing facilities.
Infleqtion, traded on the NYSE under the ticker INFQ, produces neutral atom quantum computers, precision sensors, and supporting software for governments, corporations, and research institutions worldwide.
Built on Nobel Prize-winning technology, Infleqtion is the largest full-spectrum commercial quantum technology company globally and has operated in the United Kingdom since 2014.
The new Oxford facility will complement more than a decade of Infleqtion’s investment in Britain and establish Oxford as the central hub of the UK quantum industry.
