US-based quantum computing start-up TreQ has opened a new production centre in Milton Park – and plans to build its first branded quantum computer there this year.
TreQ’s core team of six senior engineers and executives includes several experienced quantum experts, mostly from the UK. Some were involved in the team which built the UK’s first commercial quantum computer.
Its move was overseen by Tom Booker, MEPC Milton Park’s commercial manager.
TreQ chief executive Mandy Birch, who is also a brigadier general in the US Air Force Reserve, said: “The entire Milton Park team were wonderful, from Tom and his team to the Bee House staff. They helped us find the space we needed, made us feel welcome, and worked with us every step of the way. We could not have had a better move-in experience.”
Mr Booker said: “We’re delighted to welcome TreQ to Milton Park. Having them here highlights the Park’s recognition as a hub for cutting-edge science and technology, and we’re excited to see the team leverage local expertise and resources to develop its quantum computing systems.
“Their pioneering work aligns with our vision to support companies innovating to tackle global challenges. TreQ joins a growing cluster of deep-tech businesses and we look forward to seeing their impact in the years to come.”
