New day dawns for quantum computing in the UK
- The UK National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) located on the Harwell Campus in Oxfordshire has opened.
- The building is designed to foster innovation and collaboration and has state-of-the-art experimental facilities.
- Scientists and engineers from commercial quantum computing companies will work alongside NQCC technical teams to create a supply chain.
- The hope is that a quantum cluster will be formed in and around the Harwell Campus in Oxfordshire.
- The NQCC’s mandate is to build a community of hardware providers, software developers and end users to explore the value of quantum computing.
- Applications engineers from the NQCC are working with Unisys and the University of Newcastle to explore how today’s quantum computers could be used to optimize the loading of cargo onto aircraft.
- Further, the NQCC provides clear, trusted and impartial guidance to government, businesses and the public.
- The National Quantum Technologies Programme has seen over £1bn of investment since 2014, helping to establish a collaborative culture.
- Scientists and companies hope to translate scientific insights into innovative technologies, paving the way to deliver quantum computing at scale.
- The NQCC strives to provide thought leadership on ethical considerations around quantum computing.
