NORMA Signs Deal with UK's Quantum Motion on Semiconductor-Based Quantum Chips

At a glance

Korean quantum computing firm NORMA signed an MOU with UK-based Quantum Motion to jointly supply semiconductor-based quantum processing units (QPUs, the core chips that run quantum calculations). The two companies signed the agreement at the UK National Quantum Computing Centre.

Key points

1. 1

   The partners will jointly research silicon spin qubits (quantum bits that use electron spin in chips) and connect Quantum Motion's hardware with NORMA's Q Platform.

2. 2

   Quantum Motion delivered a chip-manufacturing-based quantum computer to the UK National Quantum Computing Centre in 2025.

3. 3

   Quantum Motion was selected as a Stage B company in the US DARPA Quantum Benchmarking Initiative.

4. 4

   NORMA took part in the UK National Quantum Technologies Showcase 2026 as part of a Korean quantum delegation.

Why it matters

Because it can use existing chip manufacturing, the approach is seen as a path toward mass-produced quantum chips.
