Company profile

Kelvin Quantum

University of Glasgow spin-out designing cryogenic analogue and mixed-signal integrated circuits on standard CMOS processes, together with control and readout electronics for quantum processors operating near absolute zero.

Company overview

Kelvin Quantum is a University of Glasgow spin-out that develops electronics for quantum computing systems. The company addresses the communication bottleneck between room-temperature control electronics and quantum processors operating at temperatures near absolute zero. It designs and supplies hardware solutions capable of operating across this temperature range, from room temperature down to milliKelvin levels. Kelvin Quantum's offerings include custom analogue and mixed-signal application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) that are designed and validated for cryogenic environments. These are built using standard commercial CMOS foundry processes to ensure supply chain stability. The company also provides complete control and readout platforms incorporating FPGAs and high-frequency PCBs, as well as individual cryogenic electronic sub-systems. Based in Glasgow, its solutions are tailored to specific quantum hardware architectures.
