Universal Quantum

• Modular Trapped-Ion Quantum Computer

  Scalable microwave-driven trapped-ion quantum computing system built around a modular silicon ion-trap chip architecture where multiple chips operate in a shared extreme high vacuum (XHV) environment. Each chip contains logic, memory, and ion-transport zones connected via UQConnect—a proprietary electronic interconnect enabling high-fidelity inter-module ion shuttling without laser beams. Includes the first commercial ASIC chip for trapped-ion control; delivered to the German Aerospace Center (DLR) under a €67M government contract.

• UQConnect (Inter-Module Interconnect Technology)

  Proprietary electronic interconnect system enabling physical ion transport between modular silicon trap chips with high fidelity, eliminating the need for photonic links to scale trapped-ion systems. Paired with UQLogic (microwave control) to realize the company's blueprint for million-qubit quantum computers through interconnection of smaller ion-trap modules. Forms the foundation of Universal Quantum's scalability strategy, with a UK-Germany supply chain MOU signed with Atlas Copco in December 2025 to develop compatible vacuum systems.
