Read our blog posts to learn more about the NQCC's initiatives towards delivering quantum computing capabilities for the UK.
A little over a year ago, in March 2025, the NQCC published its inaugural Insights Paper, The Convergence of Healthcare and Pharmaceuticals with Quantum Computing. It drew together the discussions from our first Quantum Computing in Healthcare and Pharma (QCHP) workshop at the Royal Society, alongside sectoral consultations, expert interviews, and a global literature review, to map the […]
The latest article from the NQCC’s Trapped-Ions team describes how their laser system design shifts the burden of laser light delivery from a time-consuming task towards the procurement of a stand-alone product. Lasers in atomic physics Atom-based systems are among the most promising approaches to scalable quantum computing. The control and delivery of laser light […]
With the announcement of £2 billion quantum innovation investment earlier this week, the UK government is laying down the gauntlet to the quantum computing industry to accelerate research and development, to bring forward the potential of large-scale quantum computing, driving end-user adoption for early societal benefit and UK economic advantage. Specifically: “This first-of-its-kind procurement programme, […]
The NQCC hosts a range of early career placements aimed at building the next generation of quantum talent by offering hands-on experience and insight into the field of quantum computing, supporting their professional growth and interest in the sector. Among these initiatives, the NQCC launched its first master’s-level placement in 2025, marking an exciting expansion […]
2025 marks the United Nations’ International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ), celebrating 100 years of quantum mechanics. IYQ makes as one of its central recommendations the application of quantum science and technology for sustainable development. At the NQCC, we’re committed to embedding and championing sustainability throughout our work. As we approach the IYQ […]
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 […]
