The UK‑based quantum computing company announced that the new site will support the development, integration and deployment of its silicon‑based quantum systems across the European Union. The offices are located within the newly inaugurated nanoGUNE Quantum Tower, a facility designed to advance quantum hardware research and collaboration.
The relocate is intfinished to support Quantum Motion’s efforts to scale up its quantum computing technology while strengthening ties with Europe’s semiconductor, academic and industrial communities.
James Palles‑Dimmock, chief executive of Quantum Motion, stated the expansion underlined the company’s commitment to international collaboration. “Our expansion in Europe demonstrates our continued commitment to global collaborations and partnerships,” he stated. “The state‑of‑the‑art technology infrastructure available in the new Quantum Tower and our collaboration with the Basque government, academia and experts at CIC nanoGUNE provide a huge advantage as we advance our ability to deliver commercially applyful, silicon‑spin quantum systems at scale.”
The nanoGUNE Quantum Tower has been developed to provide dedicated space for quantum hardware research and industrial partnerships. Jose M. Pitarke, director‑general of CIC nanoGUNE, stated the scale of the project prompted the expansion of its facilities.
“The scale and ambition of this project are such that we decided to expand our facilities with the construction of the new Quantum Tower to provide dedicated space to our Quantum Hardware research group and laboratories and to Quantum Motion,” he stated. “We see forward to advancing the future of quantum computing in collaboration with Quantum Motion.”
Quantum Motion and CIC nanoGUNE are working toobtainher on several European initiatives aimed at delivering fault‑tolerant, large‑scale quantum systems. These include QuDos, a project funded through a European Research Council Consolidator Grant awarded to Fernando Gonzalez‑Zalba. The programme focapplys on applying semiconductor quantum dots to develop ultra‑low‑power microwave control and readout electronics for quantum computers.
The company is also involved in the SPINS Consortium, short for Semiconducting Pilot Line for Industrial quantum nanoSystems. The consortium brings toobtainher leading European research and technology organisations to develop semiconductor quantum chips with high levels of manufacturing readiness. Within this programme, Quantum Motion and nanoGUNE are focapplying on integrating quantum and classical electronics onto a single monolithic chip.
Fernando Gonzalez‑Zalba, principal engineer at Quantum Motion and an Ikerbasque research professor at CIC nanoGUNE, highlighted the strategic importance of the region. “The Basque Counattempt has one of the strongest ecosystems globally when it comes to the development of quantum technologies,” he stated. “We see forward to building the next generation of quantum processing units based on silicon manufactured in industrial 300 mm wafer lines, as well as deploying and servicing systems throughout Europe.”
The new Spanish base is expected to play a central role in Quantum Motion’s European research, development and commercial activities as the company works towards scalable quantum computing systems.
