Welcome to the 82nd episode of Decode Quantum, this time, with Chris Ballance, the cofounder and CEO of Oxford Ionics. This time, I am alone, without Fanny who is seemingly busy at OVHcloud for whatever reason and couldn’t be with us today. She’s like a Minister nowadays.
So, Chris, to introduce you, you are the cofounder and CEO of Oxford Ionics since its inception in 2019. Your cofounder is Tom Harty who is the company’s CTO. Before that, you were a senior researcher at Oxford University, where you did your PhD between 2010 and 2015. And by the way, just yesterday, you just inaugurated your new global headquarters in the Oxford Technology Park, 2,800 square meters, along with UK Science Minister Lord Patrick Vallance.

Understanding quantum computing’s pace of progress is not an easy task. Recent months have complicated it with contradictory messages. CEOs like Jensen Huang (Nvidia) and Mark Zuckerberg (Meta) estimated that useful quantum computers were decades away, while others like Satya Nadella (Microsoft) and Sundar Pichai (Google) cast it as being just years from now. Some companies even stated that quantum computers would soon run LLMs more efficiently, with a lower energy footprint than classical HPCs running Nvidia GPUs.
