Oxford Ionics is looking to revolutionise industries ranging from drug discovery to material design by building quantum computers. This new type of computer harnesses the power of quantum physics to solve problems that would be too challenging for a conventional supercomputer. Oxford Ionics has developed novel, electronically-controlled, trapped-ion technology, is setting a new standard for high-performance computing.
Dr Tom Harty co-founded Oxford Ionics in 2019 as a spin-out from the University of Oxford. Tom is the company’s CEO and joined the SME Leaders programme in 2021. He is looking forward to working with a mentor that has experience in scaling up high-tech engineering companies.
Over the coming year, Oxford Ionics will be bringing its first generation of quantum computers online and demonstrating the scalability of its technology.
