About The Role And Team

Quantum Motion is a fast‑growing quantum computing scale‑up based in London founded by internationally renowned researchers from UCL and Oxford University with over 40 years of experience in developing qubits and quantum computing architectures. Bringing together state‑of‑the‑art cryogenic facilities and an outstanding interdisciplinary team, we are developing quantum processors based on industrial‑grade silicon chips, with the potential to radically transform computing power in areas such as materials modelling, medicine, artificial intelligence and more.

Our Team

Since 2021 our team has been listed every year in the “Top 100 Startups worth watching” in the EE Times and our technology breakthroughs have been featured in The Telegraph, BBC and the New Statesman. Our founders are internationally renowned researchers from UCL and Oxford University who have pioneered the development of qubits and quantum computing architectures. Our chairman is the co‑founder of Cadence and Synopsys, the two leading companies in electronic design automation. We’re backed by a team of top‑tier investors and recently closed our Series C funding of $160 million. We bring together the brightest quantum engineers, integrated circuit engineers, quantum computing theoreticians and software engineers to create a unique, world‑leading team, working closely to maximise our combined expertise.
