Quantum Hardware Manufacturing

What Quantcore is building
Quantcore makes the physical hardware components that go inside quantum computers. Specifically, niobium-based superconducting processors, resonators, and sensors - manufactured at the James Watt Nanofabrication Centre in Glasgow. Niobium is the key differentiator: it can operate at higher temperatures than aluminium, which is what almost every other quantum hardware manufacturer uses globally. That means less cooling required, lower energy consumption, and better scalability. They are currently the only UK company producing niobium-based quantum components. Current customers include UK national laboratories. Beyond quantum computing, their sensors are being developed for medical imaging accuracy that classical technology cannot achieve - applications in neuroscience, early disease detection, and secure communications.
Why this matters
The UK government has pledged £670 million to the quantum sector over ten years as part of its modern industrial strategy. The global quantum computing market is projected to exceed $20 billion by 2030. Quantcore is the only sovereign UK manufacturer of a critical component category. That is not a commercial claim - it is a national security supply chain argument that justifies government backing, defence contracts, and long-term institutional customers. For job seekers: a 4-person team with national laboratory customers, government-backed investors, and an explicit plan to grow to 12 employees in 18 months is one of the rarest early-stage hiring windows you will ever find in deep tech. The roles they need don't get posted on LinkedIn.
