Oxford Ionics holds world records in all three quantum computing super metrics: single-qubit gate fidelity, two-qubit gate fidelity, and state preparation and measurement. Its customers include enterprise organizations across aerospace, defence, and research sectors such as NASA, Airbus, Nvidia, and Infineon, and in 2025 IonQ announced its intention to acquire the company for approximately $1.1 billion.
