Oxford Quantum Circuits develops superconducting quantum computers and Quantum-Compute-as-a-Service offerings for commercial customers. Founded in 2017 by Dr. Peter Leek, a researcher at the University of Oxford, the company bridges academic superconducting quantum circuits research with enterprise-ready quantum computing systems.
The company has developed three generations of quantum computers: Sophia, Lucy, and Toshiko. Its proprietary technologies include the Coaxmon® 3D architecture and Dimon® dual-rail qubit technology, both designed to address error suppression and scalability challenges in quantum systems. OQC currently deploys quantum systems in London and Tokyo, and has installed a quantum computer in New York City through partnerships with Digital Realty and NVIDIA.
OQC targets applications in finance, security, and defence sectors. The company positions its systems as application-optimized quantum computers designed to deliver commercial value through error-corrected logical qubits and fault-tolerant quantum computing capabilities.
