Scalable, Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing
Useful quantum computing demands a path to 100,000+ qubits - a scale neither single-chip nor multi-modal architectures can realistically reach, given qubit noise, cryogenic overhead, and unresolved interconnect challenges. Aegiq, a UK-based photonic quantum computing company, is solving this with QGATE: an architecture built around the on-demand generation of deterministic, entangled photons that cuts component, and detector counts by orders of magnitude versus conventional probabilistic photonics, enabling rack-scale, not stadium-scale, deployment compatible with standard semiconductor foundries and existing HPC and datacentre infrastructure.
This talk introduces Aegiq's technology and its quantum-ready application approach, which already delivers measurable performance gains on today's GPU infrastructure, demonstrated with partners including BAE Systems, MBDA, and NVIDIA, while building a direct migration path to fault-tolerant quantum hardware as it matures.
Aegiq will also set out its ambitions in Taiwan as we look to scale up production with Taiwan's world-leading semiconductor and photonics ecosystem and explore partnerships for deployment and industrial use cases in advanced manufacturing, energy, and life sciences.
