Combining research excellence with a direct connection to the National Quantum Computing Centre, the Quantum Software Lab is focused on delivering effective solutions to real-world problems.
Quantum computers have the potential to tackle complex computations in new ways, beyond the capability even of today’s most powerful supercomputers. Although the technology is in its infancy, the NQCC is leading the research and development that will bring it to the fore.
Skills development and training are crucial priorities for the NQCC as they help build a quantum-ready economy. We aim to build a talent pipeline that offers accessible routes into quantum computing for people at all career stages.
Seven quantum hardware companies have been awarded multimillion-pound contracts to build a series of quantum testbeds at the National Quantum Computing Centre by March 2025.
Bringing together key stakeholders from industry, government, and academia is a fundamental element of the National Quantum Computing Centre’s endeavour to enable future quantum advantage.
The UK’s second quantum hackathon challenged ten teams of early-career researchers, industry mentors and hardware specialists to create quantum solutions to real-world problems in just two days
