Infleqtion has created a 16×16 neutral atom array, the largest of its kind in the UK, as part of the Scalable Quantum Atomic Lattice computing tEstbed (SQALE) project. This 256 neutral atom array, developed at the National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) Harwell Campus, represents an advancement in scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computing using neutral atom platforms.
The SQALE project focuses on refining key operational capabilities, including atomic reconfiguration, state preparation, and high-fidelity quantum gate operations. Infleqtion’s achievement leverages advanced vacuum, laser, and control systems to enable precise qubit manipulation, supported by its Superstaq quantum software platform for optimization.
The next phase will target improving quantum logic gate fidelity, scaling to larger arrays, and benchmarking performance for applications in optimization, materials science, and AI. This milestone aligns with the UK’s goal of achieving a 100+ qubit quantum computing capability by 2025.
A press release from Infleqtion announcing this milestone has been posted on their website here.
