Oxford Ionics Careers

Oxford Ionics combines physics, engineering, and computer science to tackle the multi-disciplinary challenges of quantum tech, specifically creating scalable and high-performance quantum computers using the trapped-ion approach. With teams in the UK, US, and Switzerland, the company is committed to making quantum computing accessible.

Oxford Ionics was acquired by IonQ, a major US quantum computing and networking company. Instead of using lasers, the company has developed and patented a pioneering technology that uses electronic qubit control to manage trapped-ion qubits. This innovation means that quantum processors can be produced like conventional semiconductors, a process that is more easily scalable and stable, as well as tighter integration with the infrastructure of modern data centers. Combining exceptional quantum performance with engineering, Oxford Ionics aims to create systems for a multitude of real-world applications.
