Read our blog posts to learn more about the NQCC's initiatives towards delivering quantum computing capabilities for the UK.
The NQCC hosts a range of early career opportunities for students looking to pursue a career in quantum computing. To learn more about their experiences, we got in touch with the 2024 summer placement cohort to reflect on their time at the NQCC and provide some tips for our new 2025 summer placement students. Student […]
As quantum computing moves from promise to prototype, the UK is preparing to lead, not only in technological capability, but in real-world adoption. At the National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC), our aim is to enable a quantum-ready economy—one that can seize the opportunities offered by quantum computing, generate and retain value, and deliver economic and […]
As quantum computing technologies move towards commercialisation, there is increasing interest in their potential impact on society, evidenced by the recent publication of many national strategies and quantum technologies programmes. In the wake of lessons learned from other emerging technologies such as AI, along with increased public scrutiny and societal expectation, there is a clear […]
Today marks the launch of the NQCC’s Quantum STATES principles: our commitment to responsible and ethical quantum computing, throughout all that we do. At the NQCC, our vision is to enable the UK to solve some of the most complex and challenging problems facing society by harnessing the potential of quantum computing. From optimisation in […]
Although at an early stage of development, quantum computing offers transformative potential across industry and wider society. Potential applications, including quantum machine learning, simulation, and optimisation, are being explored across sectors such as financial services, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, and scientific discovery. Future use cases, which could include the discovery of novel pharmaceuticals, optimising energy efficiency, […]
Last month, the National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) hosted its inaugural workshop, “Quantum Computing for Healthcare and Pharma,” at the Royal Society in London. This one-day interactive event was aimed at exploring the transformative potential of quantum computing in revolutionising the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries. The event convened leading experts from across the UK and […]
