Oxford Quantum Circuits has launched the UK’s first commercially available quantum computing-as-a-service platform.

Described as a boost for the nation’s ambitions to be a global quantum superpower, the platform is now available in beta to enterprise companies via its private cloud.

Having built and launched the UK’s first superconducting quantum computer in 2018, OQC believes it now has the first ‘killer app’ in the next generation of computing technology.

“The launch of our QCaaS platform is not only a remarkable achievement in the history of Oxford Quantum Circuits, but is a significant milestone in unlocking the potential of quantum computing both in the UK and globally,” said Dr Ilana Wisby, the CEO of OQC. 

“We know quantum computing has the power to be revolutionary but for decades this power and potential has been relatively untested and unverified in the real world. 

“By making our QCaaS platform more widely available to strategic partners and customers, we are offering the world’s leading enterprises the chance to demonstrate just how far-reaching quantum will be for their companies and their industries.”
