Hensinger explained that in place of lasers, Universal uses an approach called “trapped ions” that relies on microwave and radio frequency technologies, similar to the type found today in mobile phones. The system results in fewer errors and generates far less heat than laser systems, he said. He projects this computer could operate at -200 degrees Celsius.In addition, Universal Quantum is developing plans for a quantum computer that relies on ion-trapped chips and uses silicon. After experimenting with a wide range of materials, Hensinger said his team settled on silicon for its stability and practicality.
The founders of Universal Quantum say they’re taking an approach to solving some of those issues that will allow them to build what they call a “large-scale quantum computer.” So what does that mean? The quantum computer Google built that claimed the supremacy milestone had 54 qubits. IBM’s Q Network relies on a 53-qubit machine.
Build A scale Quantum Computer
The founders of Universal Quantum say they’re taking an approach to solving some of those issues that will allow them to build what they call a “large-scale quantum computer.” So what does that mean? The quantum computer Google built that claimed the supremacy milestone had 54 qubits. IBM’s Q Network relies on a 53-qubit machine.
“If you want to solve interesting problems, you can’t just have 50 qubits,” Hensinger said. “You need probably around a few million, maybe even billions.”
Hensinger is making the extraordinary claim that his company’s technology will make that “billions” target feasible.

Summary Results
As is the case with microwave technology, using silicon will allow the company to leverage existing products and technology. It will also allow the team to recruit employees with skillsets in those areas, rather than having to train and develop workers using radically different materials and methods, he said. All of those factors should allow the company to build its quantum computer, though the exact timing remains unclear. With the latest funding, Universal Quantum will continue building its quantum computing facility in Brighton while expanding its 10-person team.
Once the computer is operational, the company will pursue a model initially similar to IBM’s by offering subscriptions to its machines through a cloud platform, Hensinger said.Sign up for Funding Weekly to start your week with VB’s top funding stories.
