Oxford Ionics portable quantum computer is called MinIon.

so you can help it scale the technology, Oxford Ionics has partnered with Germanys largest semiconductor manufacturer Infineon.

The UK company currently holds the world fidelity performance record.

Germany already has a strong position in quantum computing.

Not to mention a high concentration of end users military and civilian alike.
