Infleqtion Delivers the UK’s Only Operational 100-Qubit Quantum Computing System at the National Quantum Computing Centre

Delivers on major UK national quantum mission goal, enabling research and application development on large-scale systems

OXFORD, England–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Infleqtion (NYSE: INFQ), a global leader in quantum computing and quantum sensing powered by neutral-atom technology, has delivered the UK’s only operational 100-physical-qubit quantum computing system at the National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) with its Sqale platform, achieving a milestone the NQCC identified as a critical objective for the UK’s quantum strategy. Achieved in December 2025, the milestone creates foundational infrastructure that will enable researchers and industry to begin working with large-scale quantum systems.

“Infleqtion’s progress is a significant milestone, helping move the UK beyond research toward real-world uses,” said Lord Vallance, Minister of State for Science, Research and Innovation. “These sorts of advances are vital in paving the way for us to be able to use quantum computers to deliver tangible benefits. With the talent and research expertise that we have on offer in the UK, this is an encouraging next step which helps cement our position as a world leader in one of the defining technologies of our generation.”

“The NQCC’s quantum computing testbed is among the first of its kind, advancing innovation at a global level,” said Matthew Kinsella, CEO of Infleqtion. “This latest achievement with Sqale reflects the progress and potential of our neutral-atom architecture and marks an important step toward larger-scale quantum systems. We’re proud to partner with the NQCC on a platform that is critical to advancing quantum computing and reinforces the UK’s leadership in this essential technology.”

Reaching the 100-physical-qubit level represents an important step beyond laboratory prototypes toward quantum computers that can run more complex algorithms, test error-correction approaches and support practical solutions. At this scale, quantum systems begin to support experimentation that connects more directly to real-world challenges. Researchers can begin probing applications in areas such as advanced materials, energy systems and complex optimisation. Sqale is the first neutral-atom platform of this scale deployed in an operational national facility, reinforcing its position at the forefront of quantum hardware development.

The NQCC’s installation of the Sqale platform is part of its broader Quantum Computing Testbed Initiative. With Sqale, researchers will be able to evaluate performance, benchmark applications, and study how neutral‑atom systems scale. The platform is also designed to accelerate skills development, supply‑chain readiness and application exploration across the UK quantum ecosystem.

“Having a system of this scale available through the NQCC is a significant step for the UK quantum community,” said Dr Michael Cuthbert, Director of the NQCC. “It allows researchers to move beyond small demonstrations and begin learning what it really takes to operate and scale quantum computers in practice.”

“This is a defining moment for Infleqtion and the UK’s ambition to build world-class sovereign quantum capabilities. Achieving this milestone has been a key goal for the UK’s quantum efforts and seeing it become reality is something we are all immensely proud of,” said Colin Sullivan, Managing Director of Infleqtion UK. “We look forward to expanding our partnership with UK researchers, businesses and government to unlock the full potential of quantum technology.”

Infleqtion’s milestone with NQCC demonstrates continued execution on the company’s technology roadmap. Infleqtion is aiming to exceed 30 logical qubits in 2026 and deliver more than 100 logical qubits in 2028, advancing toward fully fault-tolerant architectures. Because it takes anywhere from 10 to more than 1,000 physical qubits to encode a single reliable logical qubit, physical-qubit performance becomes a key limiting factor. Infleqtion’s 99.73% two-qubit gate fidelity delivers industry-leading performance on the metric that matters most in quantum computing. Higher fidelity means fewer physical qubits per logical qubit, delivering a significant scalability and efficiency advantage.

Neutral-atom architecture offers one of the clearest paths to scalable quantum computing and future commercial advantage due to its scalability, reconfigurability and strong coherence properties. Infleqtion’s approach benefits from having already delivered neutral-atom systems in operational environments beyond the laboratory. Unlike many quantum computing efforts that remain confined to research settings, Infleqtion has already translated neutral-atom technology into multiple demonstrations and fielded systems, including:

• Pioneering quantum flight trials demonstrating real-world operation
• First materials science application on logical qubits
• Deployment of a quantum optical atomic clock on an underwater autonomous vehicle
• The UK’s largest neutral-atom array
• Collaboration on efforts to deploy a quantum gravity sensor in space

Together, these efforts underscore Infleqtion’s ability to turn neutral-atom research into fielded products, providing a foundation for developing scalable quantum technologies that move beyond the laboratory and into practical use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a neutral-atom quantum computer?

A neutral-atom quantum computer uses individual atoms held in place and controlled by lasers as qubits, the basic units of quantum information. Because the atoms are naturally identical and can be arranged with high precision, neutral-atom systems offer a flexible approach to building larger, more capable quantum processors while remaining well isolated from environmental noise.

How is neutral atom technology different from other quantum computing approaches?

Quantum computers can be built using several different physical approaches, including superconducting circuits, trapped ions, photons, and neutral atoms. Neutral-atom systems are especially promising because they can be scaled by adding and rearranging atoms with light, enabling flexible qubit layouts and reconfigurable interactions. These properties make neutral-atom architecture a compelling approach as the industry works toward larger-scale quantum systems.

Why does reaching 100 qubits matter?

Reaching 100 physical qubits is an important milestone because it enables larger and more realistic quantum experiments than have typically been possible on smaller prototype systems. At this scale, researchers can begin testing more complex algorithms, studying how systems behave as they grow, and exploring approaches to error correction and early applications. It marks an important step from laboratory-scale demonstrations toward larger operational quantum systems.

What does this deployment enable for researchers and industry?

With the system now operational at the National Quantum Computing Centre, researchers and industry collaborators can begin evaluating a large-scale neutral-atom quantum computer in a national testbed environment. This supports performance benchmarking, application exploration, and practical research into operating and scaling quantum systems across the UK quantum ecosystem.

Why is this significant for the UK?

This milestone marks the deployment of the UK’s only operational 100-physical-qubit quantum computing system and supports a major goal of the National Quantum Computing Centre’s technology roadmap. It strengthens the UK’s national quantum infrastructure and gives the quantum community the opportunity to work with a system at a scale that supports more advanced research, benchmarking, and application development.

This area, also known as Silicon Beach area of Los Angeles, will better support the advancement of the company’s EAI strategy, help FF attract top AI talent, and strengthen innovation and ecosystem collaboration.

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFAI) (“Faraday Future”, “FF” or the “Company”), a California-based global Embodied AI (EAI) ecosystem company, today shared a weekly business update from YT Jia, Founder and Global Co-CEO of FF.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260315049164/en/

Faraday Future Founder and Co-CEO YT Jia Shares Weekly Investor Update: The Company Continues to Take Action in Response to Recently Identified Suspected Illegal Market Manipulation

“Today’s weekly report was supposed to start with a piece of wonderful news: FFAI Headquarters will relocate to Silicon Beach area next weekend, along with two important business updates on the execution of our EAI strategy. However, because we are deeply outraged by the harm that may have been caused by potential illegal market manipulators to the interests of our stockholders, I want to begin instead with FF’s latest actions in its Counterattack Against Potentially Illegal Market Manipulation and Short Selling.

Recently, the progress of our robotics business has far exceeded our expectations, yet our stock price performance has continued to decline. So what might be behind part of this disconnect? We have become aware of suspected organized illegal market manipulation activity targeting FF. In particular, Hua Qixin and their group are suspected of spreading knowingly false statements, fabricating rumors, making defamatory claims, misleading investors, and manipulating the market for improper gain. These suspected illegal manipulative actions may not only be harming FF, but also harming every stockholder who believes in the Company’s long-term value.

But let me say this: FF has never been a company that can be easily brought down by malicious forces. In the past, we successfully fought back. This time, we have even stronger confidence, more evidence, and greater determination to win this Counterattack Against Potentially Illegal Market Manipulation and Short Selling.

At present, we have already communicated with relevant parties, preserved key evidence, and are preparing for the next step of potentially initiating litigation in both China and the U.S. At the same time, we have also initiated related regulatory complaint procedures, including preparing materials in connection with a potential submission to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Our goal is clear: to ensure FF operates in a clean, fair, lawful, and compliant capital markets environment, and to ensure that FF’s stock price truly reflects the Company’s operating fundamentals and real value.

Taking this opportunity, we are once again publicly calling for relevant leads and evidence. Anyone who has information related to any suspected illegal short-selling or related misconduct is welcome to contact us. The Company will handle all valid leads prudently and in accordance with the law.

The Company is firmly committed to protecting the interests of our stockholders and putting ‘Stockholders First.’ I believe that as long as we stand united against this threat, we will win.

Next, let me talk about the Company’s two important business updates this week:

First, the FF team has remained committed to the R&D of our EAI Brain & Open-Source and Open Developer Platform. After a period of focused effort, this week we successfully integrated OpenClaw into the Agent layer of our EAI Brain. This will accelerate the rollout of scenario-based skills, while also allowing us to evolve our brain architecture with OpenClaw’s underlying philosophy.

In the past, when robots were faced with new use cases, they often required extensive reprogramming, customized development, and repeated debugging. By introducing the OpenClaw architecture, the system can achieve modularization and capability decoupling, significantly enhancing the robot’s generalization ability and enabling it to better adapt to changes in the real world. From a user value perspective, this will allow every user to better own a truly personal EAI Agent. Users can also directly assign tasks remotely and receive feedback at any time through instant messaging tools. Even novice users will be able to develop many of the EAI Skills they need themselves through our developer platform, with a very low barrier to entry, continuously creating more value for users.

From the perspective of value for the developer platform, OpenClaw brings no-code programming capabilities. Developers no longer need complex coding. Through natural language alone, OpenClaw can automatically locate documentation and generate code, enabling the rapid development of Agents and Skills while significantly lowering the development threshold and improving efficiency. Skill packages can be quickly generated and deployed, allowing robots to rapidly adapt to different use cases and achieve professionalized, scaled deployment, while also driving the continued growth of the ecosystem.

Second, on the FF EAI robotics side, we delivered two FF Master and pre-delivered two FX Aegis units this week, expanding into two new application scenarios within our ‘6-3-3’ Industry Applications and Practical Value framework: Family learning companion, and high-end estate security. Subject to securing FCC compliance for our Aegis line of robots, with these new deliveries, we will be close to reaching our initial goal of 20 units delivered in the first month.

Today, our team is holding a delivery event to hand over Master and pre-deliver Aegis to our EAI ecosystem partner, 6677 Auto. These robots will primarily be deployed in our ‘Robot & Vehicle + Family Learning Companion’ use case—helping more children gain hands-on exposure to robots and AI and hopefully inspiring the next generation of AI innovators. Family education—especially supporting children and teenagers as they grow—is quickly becoming one of the most valuable and essential application scenarios in the AI era.

Yesterday, we also pre-delivered Aegis, the quadruped, to Pinnacle, a leading real estate brokerage in Los Angeles, launching our ‘Robot & Vehicle + High-end Estate Security’ application. In this use case, the robot will be integrated into high-end property showings, client reception, and immersive home-viewing experiences, expanding the role of EAI robots in premium service environments. At the same time, it can provide robot & vehicle + residential property security for property owners, with capabilities such as autonomous patrol, and early alerts and security deterrence under development.

Finally, let me share some exciting news about FF’s headquarters relocation. After more than a year of searching and preparation, we’ve finalized and signed the lease for our new headquarters in El Segundo, which is in the Silicon Beach area of Los Angeles. We will begin moving next weekend as our new office space comes into use.

If Northern California is known for Silicon Valley, Southern California has Silicon Beach. Over the past decade, Silicon Beach, located along Los Angeles’ West Coast, has rapidly emerged as one of the most dynamic technology and innovation hubs in the United States. Over the past ten-plus years, it has gradually become home to companies across AI, internet technology, tech entertainment, aerospace, and other frontier industries. The area hosts not only a vibrant startup community, but also major companies like SpaceX, Google, and Amazon, along with a strong concentration of top AI talent, engineers, entrepreneurs, investors, and innovation resources.

For FF, this location will better support the advancement of our EAI strategy, help us attract top AI talent, and strengthen innovation and ecosystem collaboration. This also marks the first headquarters relocation in FF’s 12-year history, making it an especially meaningful milestone for the company. When we officially move in, I’ll give everyone a tour of the new headquarters—together with our robot friends—so we can all witness the start of this new chapter. I will see you next week!”
