Showcase of a Quantum Computing Start-Up from the Co-Founder and CTO of Quantum Motion John Morton

Quantum Motion is a quantum computing start-up founded by leading academics from UCL's Quantum Science and Technology Institute (UCLQ) and the University of Oxford.

The team at Quantum Motion combines deep expertise in fault tolerant quantum architectures with the the hardware knowledge to realise qubits in silicon and cryogenic integrated circuits. The development of a fault tolerant quantum processor will introduce computing capabilities far beyond the reach of today's supercomputers, while even the emerging noisy intermediate-scale quantum processors (NGOs) are expected to offer computation advantage in specific applications. Quantum computers will ultimately power high-impact applications in areas vital for human progress in the 21st century: in-software discovery of new chemicals, materials and drugs; the reduction of wastage through optimisation of resource usage; and potentially enabling new models for AI and machine learning.

Hear from the co-founder and CTO, John Morton, who will share his journey of translating his academic research into a revolutionary technology platform and company. The talk will:

• Identify what Quantum Motion understood to be the critical moments for their existence;
• Explain how Quantum Motion has evolved into an organisation it is today;
• Present what John sees as challenges and opportunities for those wishing to embark on a similar journey;
• Draw attention to the benefits that Quantum Motion brings to his academic career. 

Please have your questions ready for John.
