Aegiq

Aegiq is a UK-based full-stack photonic quantum computing company spun out from the University of Sheffield in 2019, developing secure quantum communications using III-V semiconductor-based quantum photonics chips manufactured with elements like Gallium, Indium, and Arsenic rather than traditional Silicon. The company secured £1.4 million in funding from Innovate UK and won a £30 million quantum testbed competition funded by the National Quantum Computing Centre to deliver Artemis, their compact photonic quantum computer. Building on over 20 years of world-class research in semiconductors and quantum science, Aegiq develops quantum technology for fiber-optic and satellite-based applications, focusing on secure quantum communications and photonic quantum computing with their dedicated user interface for integration with NQCC testbed ecosystem.
