This two-day CCP-QC-funded workshop will bring together a small group of researchers and research software specialists from STFC’s Scientific Computing Department, the National Quantum Computing Centre, and CCP-QC, with a particular focus on quantum computing approaches to electronic structure problems and related applications.
The workshop is deliberately structured to prioritize focused collaboration rather than broad dissemination. Each morning will feature a small number of short, targeted presentations aimed at establishing a shared understanding of current capabilities, constraints, and active priorities across the varied stakeholders. Afternoons will be devoted to facilitated break-out sessions, with participants divided into 3–4 mixed groups to ensure cross-institutional and cross-disciplinary interaction. Structured break-out activities will guide participants through identifying technically realistic collaboration opportunities, mapping dependencies (expertise, infrastructure, funding), and defining concrete next steps. On the second day, groups will refine and prioritize a small number of proposed joint activities and report back to the full workshop. Each output will include a clearly articulated goal, named points of contact, and an outline of how CCP-QC, its successor, or related national structures could support coordination or visibility. By the end of the workshop, participants will have produced a concise, shared set of actionable collaboration proposals and established working relationships intended to persist beyond the event itself.
Registration is by invitation. Please contact kathryn.lund@stfc.ac.uk if interested.
