The National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC), in collaboration with the STFC Campus and Cluster team, is pleased to announce the launch of the 2025 call for proof of concept projects in quantum computing, funded through the NQCC’s SparQ programme. This initiative is designed to facilitate the exploration of practical applications for quantum computing and identify use cases relevant […]
The launch of a new governance structure at the NQCC is a key step in ensuring long-term strategic oversight and driving the UK’s leadership in quantum computing. In addition to our existing Programme Oversight Board, chaired by Derek Craig (EPSRC), we’re introducing two expert advisory groups: Strategic Advisory Committee (SAC) Chaired by Professor Ian Walmsley […]
In the Industrial Strategy published today, the UK government has announced a £670 m investment to accelerate the impact of quantum computing, including a 10-year funding settlement for the National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC). Today’s announcement is a landmark moment for the UK’s quantum ecosystem. The investment will enable longer-term planning, growth, and national capability-building. It […]
The National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) is pleased to announce that funding is now available for the second cohort of the Doctoral Studentship Scheme! This unique initiative will train 30 PhD students over five annual cohorts through cutting-edge, collaborative quantum computing projects developed jointly by the NQCC and UK university partners. For the 2026 cohort, six fully funded studentships are available starting in […]
