The UK arm of SEEQC, a company building quantum computing chips that combine quantum and digital control on one chip, with a London team and a system at the NQCC.
SEEQC builds quantum computers where the control electronics sit on the same kind of chip technology as the qubits. In most quantum computers, the signals that control the qubits come from large racks of equipment outside the machine. SEEQC uses digital circuits based on Single Flux Quantum logic, which work at very low temperature right beside the qubits, to make control faster and more efficient. It describes its aim as the first fully digital quantum computing platform for global businesses, and it talks about moving quantum computing from laboratory experiments to systems that are scalable and ready for business.
The company was founded in 2019 as a spin-out of HYPRES, a developer of superconducting electronics, and its main base is in New York State. Dr Matthew Hutchings is a co-founder and chief product officer. He has described its scaling platform as a game-changer for quantum industrialisation. SEEQC says its leaders have experience in superconducting and quantum computing. SEEQC UK is the British operation, and this entry is about the UK team and its work.
The UK team works from London, according to a 2020 company announcement, and it took part in two Innovate UK projects. One, the Quantum Foundry, aimed to commercialise superconducting technology with six other UK companies and universities. The other, a seven-organisation consortium, built Deltaflow.OS, an operating system designed to run on UK quantum computers. In 2025 SEEQC installed what it called the UK's first cross-qubit scaling platform at the National Quantum Computing Centre on the Harwell campus in Oxfordshire. Partners and customers named in the announcement include NVIDIA, BASF, Booz Allen Hamilton and NASA.
We did not find UK staff numbers or a description of the culture of the UK team. The NQCC itself, where the system sits, has more than 70 staff and 30 PhD studentships, so SEEQC's UK work sits within an active community of researchers.
Roles in a chip-based quantum company include superconducting circuit designers, cryogenic and test engineers, electronics engineers, software developers working on operating systems and control, and project managers coordinating consortium projects. Physics, electronic engineering and computing are the usual routes in. The SEEQC website lists current openings, including any in the UK.
