"We are delighted to demonstrate our latest advancements in quantum computing innovation at the UK Quantum Showcase this year. The UK has long held a leading position in quantum technologies due to its world-class science and research base," said Dr. Chris Ballance, President of Quantum Computing at IonQ and co-founder of Oxford Ionics. "The strength of the UK's technological leadership helped us achieve the highest-performing quantum platform available on the market."

IonQ's presence at the showcase follows a landmark year for the company in the UK, including the designation of Oxford as IonQ's EMEA headquarters, its acquisition of Oxford Ionics, and the delivery of Quartet, a quantum computing testbed for the UK's National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC). These milestones reinforce IonQ's role as a key player in advancing the UK's national quantum strategy as it accelerates the commercial use of quantum technologies.
