Quantum Motion

🏆 ⚽ A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and supported the first Quantum Football League Tournament last week! The QFL, brought together the UK's leading quantum computing companies together for a fun afternoon of football, raising money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity. Quantum Motion lifted the trophy this year, with Riverlane as well-deserved runners-up. Thanks thank you to all who travelled and competed: Nu Quantum, Oxford Quantum Circuits (OQC), ORCA Computing, Phasecraft, and Quantinuum. A special shout-out to Phasecraft for designing and implementing a quantum algorithm to determine the tournament match schedule and running it on Quantinuum's H2 quantum computer. We’re also incredibly grateful to Qblox for supporting the event from afar, generously donating to our charitable cause and providing much needed energy-boosting stroopwafels.

The inaugural Quantum Football Tournament held last Friday was a great success - bringing together the UK's leading quantum computing companies together for a fun (and gruelling!) afternoon of football, raising money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity. Having been part of the UK's quantum computing ecosystem from its infancy, it was wonderful to see such a striking picture of its growth with over 100 players from seven companies on the pitch buoyed on by supporters. Companies that have been collaborating and competing for funding over several years, turned up to compete instead on the football pitch. Well done to Quantum Motion for winning the tournament and fielding another team which finished third (for me being half English & half Spanish, finishing 1st and 3rd was a recurring theme of the weekend...). Honourable mentions to finalists, Riverlane, whose teams finished second and seventh and semi-finalists ORCA Computing who came fourth. Thanks to Phasecraft for designing and implementing a quantum algorithm to determine the tournament match schedule and running it on Quantinuum's H2 quantum computer. Hats off to Nu Quantum for sporting the most stylish football kit and of course to Oxford Quantum Circuits (OQC) with whom we kicked off this annual football event four years ago. Thanks to Qblox for supporting the event from afar, generously donating to our charitable cause and providing much needed energy-boosting stroopwafels. Special thanks to Sam Harman for showing his commitment as an investor through his professional (and mostly impartial) refereeing. It was great to see two CEOs demonstrating their leadership skills: James Palles-Dimmock, from the front, scoring 11 goals in eight games (eclipsing Messi and Mbappé over the same number of games), and Richard Murray, from the back, with a robust and commanding goal keeping display. Perhaps in future we will see more of the CEOs on the pitch leading by example...? Above all, thanks to all teams and participants, especially those that travelled from afar, for contributing to such a special and enjoyable atmosphere. I hope this will be a recurring fixture and look forward to meeting on the pitch next year!

This week our CEO James Palles-Dimmock is featured on GAEA Talks. Thank you to GAEA AI Talks host Graeme Scott for having us! Quantum computing will not scale by adding qubits one at a time in a university lab. It will scale by riding the only industrial process that can hit millions or billions of units, which is CMOS. Silicon. The same process behind every phone, every laptop, every GPU. Quantum Motion is building qubits inside standard transistors. The podcast answers some of the most frequently asked questions and key topics: - What a quantum computer actually is (and what it is not) - Why silicon spin qubits are the only credible route to million-qubit scale - The AI and quantum crossover - why quantum is a data generator for AI, not a competitor - Why AI's real limitation is data and world models, not architecture and many more topics....

⚽ There's a big football event later this week... The Quantum Football League! On Friday this week 7 quantum computing companies come together for a 7-a-side tournament. We are thrilled to host our peers from Nu Quantum, Oxford Quantum Circuits (OQC), ORCA Computing, Phasecraft, Quantinuum and Riverlane. Beyond the corporate bragging rights, the QFL is on a mission to raise vital funds for the Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity. Every tackle, goal, and cheer counts.

Scaling up a quantum processor means packing more qubits into less space but conventional readout sensors take up significant chip area and limit qubit connectivity. In our paper, published in Nature Sensors, the Quantum Motion team demonstrates the first single-electron box (SEB) sensor in a planar silicon MOS process. MOS fabrication processes are the industry standard for Very Large-Scale Integration. This is a compact sensor that achieves state-of-the-art readout performance without the footprint of a conventional charge sensor. By placing the SEB in a parallel row to the qubit dots and tuning the barrier gates to optimise signal quality, we achieve fidelities of 99.92%. A new Hidden Markov Model enables more accurate spin-state classification by accounting for all three accessible spin states, going beyond the standard two-state approach. Constance Lainé, lead author and Quantum Engineer at Quantum Motion, said: “The SEB's compact footprint opens a path toward denser, more connected qubit arrays. Unlike previous MOS sensor demonstrations, the SEB is not confined to the edge of the qubit array, making it compatible with two-dimensional architectures.” Read more about this result: https://lnkd.in/e9fRXBHB Read the Nature Sensors paper: https://lnkd.in/eCY_aN9C This work included contributions from: Constance Lainé, Giovanni Oakes, Virginia Ciriano-Tejel, Jacob Chittock-Wood, Lorenzo Peri, Michael Fogarty, Sofia Patomäki, Stefan Kubicek (imec), David Wise, Ross L., M. Fernando González Zalba, and John Morton.

7 Companies. 1 Champion. All for an incredible cause. 🏆 The Quantum Football League (QFL) is officially locked in for Friday, July 17! We are thrilled to host our peers from Nu Quantum, Oxford Quantum Circuits (OQC), ORCA Computing, Phasecraft, Quantinuum and Riverlane for a high-intensity 7-a-side tournament. Best of all? There are absolutely no World Cup matches scheduled for this Friday. That means there is zero excuse to miss it. It's the perfect excuse to close your laptop early, grab a drink, and catch the best local derby of the summer in north London. ☀️⚽ Beyond the corporate bragging rights, the QFL is on a mission to raise vital funds for the Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity.

What a great week at #ISC26 discussing the advancements of utility-scale, fault-tolerant #quantumcomputing being made possible with silicon. One of our main highlights was the preview of the second #qubitthecat coloring book just released by one of our stellar PhD students, Tara Murphy. Tara's commitment to advancing education around quantum computing begins at the earliest levels of education. To continue the momentum, she has created a colouring competition for children where they can win Qubit the Cat books for their class in school. Submissions can be made at qubitthecat.com. A huge thanks to Addison Snell for inviting Tara on stage to speak in the "Fishbowl Panel: What Is Truth, Anyway? (And Does It Matter?)" and for arranging for her to hand out complimentary coloring books at the end of the presentation. #HPC #CMOS

What an incredible experience at Bharat Innovates 2026 in Nice, France! Our CFO, Mayur Patel participated in the masterclass "Scaling DeepTech in Europe: From Pilot to Deployment." Hosted in France against the backdrop of the India-France Year of Innovation, the session centered heavily on international collaboration for global talent and innovation pipelines. Alongside India’s brightest minds and European partners, we mapped out how to seamlessly bridge ecosystems and transition frontier tech from local pilots to global markets.   "Thank you to all who attended our session. It was incredible to connect so deeply with the brilliant deep-tech ecosystem of India and our fellow participants." — Mayur Patel, CFO Quantum Motion A huge thank you to the Ministry of Education, Government of India, for hosting this landmark event on European soil.
