'Neurodiversity is an umbrella term referring to the natural diversity of the human brain, and I’m deeply encouraged to see awareness increasing here. However, as with any term that gains traction and becomes part of a movement in the DEI space, there’s a lot of misinformation and tokenistic adoption.' Read Amy's insightful 'Voices of UQ' piece below.
About us
A quantum computer harnesses the fundamental forces that govern the physical world. It can efficiently model complex systems in ways that would take the best classical computer millions of years, and so help revolutionise drug design, climate modelling, battery chemistry, and many other vital processes. But to achieve all this, we need to make quantum computers work reliably at scale. We started Universal Quantum to meet this challenge - because we believe that by doing so, we can help solve the most difficult problems faced by humanity. We’re following a pragmatic, engineering-based roadmap to build a device that is useful in the real world: a quantum computer that has utility. Every approach we take, every solution we devise, is geared towards this goal.

A riveting conversation between UQ's CEO, Sebastian Weidt and Benjamin Wolba! See a link to the full interview here. https://lnkd.in/e8c5zTD8 #SolveScaleChangeWorld #QuantumComputing
This is my longest and most in-depth interview with a computing startup so far, based on the first-ever Future of Computing podcast, recorded with the CEO, Sebastian Weidt, at this year's Latitude59 conference While quantum startups keep announcing quantum computers with increasingly many qubits, the reality is that these qubits are error-prone, diminishing what their quantum computers can do today. Increasing the number of error-free qubits is crucial. But it's also quite challenging. Universal Quantum was founded by Sebastian Weidt and Winfried Hensinger in late 2018 to build fully scalable quantum computers using well-established microchip technology and a unique modular approach. It raised a $4.5 million seed round in 2020 from Hoxton Ventures, Village Global, Propagator Ventures, Luminous Ventures, and 7percent Ventures, extended by Quantum Exponential in 2022. Learn more from our interview about the marvels of quantum computing, what quantum computers with millions of quantum bits will be capable of, and how we will get there: #FutureOfComputing #Future #Computing #Universal #Quantum #QuantumComputing #Startups #Entrepreneurs #VC #VentureCapital #Newsletter #Interview #UniversalQuantum

UQ is a main sponsor of the 28th edition of the International Conference on Atomic Physics (ICAP). ICAP is the premier conference for the field of atomic, molecular and optical physics. First event dates back to 1968. The event features invited plenary presentations and contributed poster presentations on cutting-edge research. Visit stand 20 to speak to one of our friendly delegates about UQ's unique approach to solving the quantum scaling challenge. #SolveScaleChangeWorld #QuantumComputing

'Sub-atomic theory, entanglement, and the notion that something might be in two places at once are not easy to grapple with. However, Qureca and Universal Quantum brought the science and its applications to life in a productive "professor meets customer" session on 8th July 2024. Held in the amazing London Foundling Museum, the day was deeply inspiring given the scale of the 18th-century compassion in the building for England’s most vulnerable children and its contrast with the enormity of the opportunity that this 21st-century science would confer on humanity.' - Air Marshal Andrew Turner CB CBE FRAeS CMgr CCMI Read more about the event below. #SolveScaleChangeWorld #QuantumComputing

UQ’s Foni Raphaël Lebrunël and Muddassar Rashid were both selected to attend the prestigious 73rd Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting. This year, the meeting was dedicated to physics, focusing on three key themes: - Quantum Physics and Quantum Technologies - Physics-based Solutions to the Energy Challenge - Artificial Intelligence in Physics Raphael and Muddassar were especially excited about meeting and taking photos with Nobel Laureates David Wineland and Alain Aspect - both huge stars in the field of trapped ions and quantum computing. #SolveScaleChangeWorld #Quantum #LindauNobelLaureateMeeting

Teachers from Hazelwick School in Crawley experienced their second day of #TeacherEncounters with Universal Quantum, and what a day it was! They explored groundbreaking advancements in the quantum sector, discovered how Universal Quantum recruits physicists, engineers, and software developers, and received expert advice on crafting the pathway for future generations. Did you know Universal Quantum is listed in the Sunday Times Best Places to Work? This exciting partnership will enable teachers to educate students about the quantum sector, career pathways, and skills in technical and non-technical roles. This initiative will inform innovative curriculum resources and pave the way for students to experience the workplace and lab environments. Stay tuned for more updates! A huge thank you to Amy Skippings (she/her) and the Universal Quantum team for delivering two incredible days. #SolveScaleChangeWorld #QuantumComputing

What an inspirational day today at the Innovation and Future Day in Hamburg yesterday. The event celebrated 100 years of NXP's expertise in Semiconductors. UQ's Geschäftsführer (Strategie und Außenbeziehungen), oliver blume had the great pleasure of meeting and speaking with German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz at the event. It was also a privilege to showcase and talk about the amazing work we are doing with the German Aerospace Center (DLR) with those present at the event. At Universal Quantum, scientists, engineers and our operational team collaborate to transform the cutting edge of research into practical solutions. We are united by our commitment to bringing this technology to life, and our shared optimism over what it will mean for the future. #OlafScholz #SolveScaleChangeWorld #quantum #quantumcomputing

We are thrilled to announce the full rebrand of UQ! 🎉 As pioneers in the quantum space, we believe our new identity reflects our commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovation. We now have a brand that sets us apart - One that is truly as innovative as we are. From the beginning, we got excited about a design system that will continue to scale with us. Then came the emergence of our logo, the messaging-house and the structural explanation of our technology. We believe this fully-integrated approach is unprecedented in our industry. A lot starts from some simple ideas plus world-class design, much like UQ. The idea that we could build a QC that will be useful to the world. And then assembling the team to bring that idea to life. This human-centricity is not only visible in our new tagline, mission statement and construction of the website, but in everything we do. We live it! Visit the link to read about the rebrand journey and the guiding philosophy of our innovative new design system, and to interact with our new website. #Rebrand #SolveScaleChangeWorld #Quantum #QuantumComputing
