At OQC, we’re creating the core of the quantum revolution to solve some of humanity’s most significant challenges.
We want to help our customers to do things which have never been achieved before, from enabling life-changing drug discoveries to developing new battery technologies.
Founded in June 2017 by Dr Peter Leek, OQC developed its first technology at the University of Oxford and its world-leading physics department.
Oxford is home to the UK’s Quantum Computing & Simulation Hub where Dr Leek heads the UK’s Superconducting Quantum Computing development.
There he developed OQC’s core IP – the Coaxmon – a quantum bit (qubit) developed from first principles with commercial scalability in mind and liberated from the constraints of 2D technology.
Resolute to lead the quantum revolution and develop the first commercial quantum computer in the UK, OQC spun-out of the University of Oxford, raising an initial Seed of £2M.
