The 2025 update of the NQCC baseline report demonstrates that quantum computing continues to be a rapidly expanding field of research, characterised by strong publication growth and high citation impact (measure of publication quality). Competition is growing but the UK remains a leading contributor.
This paper benchmarks a hybrid quantum–classical approach to solving the Unit Commitment Problem (UCP) developed by JIJ, ORCA Computing, NQCC, and bp. Reducing industrial energy costs is a priority within the UK’s Industrial Strategy, particularly given that UK industrial electricity prices are estimated to be around 50% higher than the IEA average.
