More Than Meets the Eye
Infleqtion announced the delivery of its Sqale neutral‑atom quantum computer in digital mode, providing a 100‑qubit system to the UK’s National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC). The hardware reuses the 256‑atom analog array delivered in 2024, now operating with up to 100 qubits for digital tasks. Sqale can switch between analog and digital models via Infleqtion’s Superstaq software, enabling researchers to explore quantum error correction and real‑world materials‑science problems. Its unique in‑place entanglement technique reduces atom movement, delivering faster operation than competing neutral‑atom platforms.
