The quantum computing landscape is developing rapidly as we establish the centre. Keep up to date with progress of the NQCC programme and the quantum community here.
We’re pleased to share the publication of the NQCC’s Action Plan for Responsible and Ethical Quantum Computing (REQC), building on the Quantum STATES principles, our commitment to the responsible development and use of quantum computing. At this critical point in quantum computing’s development, our REQC Action Plan sets out how we will put principles into […]
The National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC), in collaboration with the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), is pleased to announce that 15 projects have been awarded through the 2025 STFC Cross Cluster Proof of Concept: SparQ Quantum Computing Call. These proof-of-concept projects explore practical applications of quantum computing across a range of sectors, including energy, […]
NQCC’s strategic partnership with the former Quantum Computing and Simulation (QCS) Hub continues with signing of a MOU with the new QCi3 Hub Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) announced recently, the National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) and the new Hub for Quantum Computing via Integrated and Interconnected Implementations (QCi3) pledge to work together to […]
The National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) and Google Quantum AI announce a new collaboration to bring access to Google’s Willow quantum processor to more researchers in the UK. The joint initiative builds on the UK-US Technology Prosperity Deal and a broad collaboration agreement between Google Cloud and the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT). […]
SparQ Access – previously known as the NQCC’s Quantum Computing Access Programme – is now open for academic proposals! The initiative forms a key part of the NQCC’s broader SparQ programme, supporting the UK’s journey toward quantum readiness. It provides UK academia with the opportunity to access cutting-edge quantum computing (QC) resources, helping to grow and strengthen the UK’s quantum computing user community. The programme supports: – […]
We are delighted to announce the studentships awarded to our academic partners as part of the second cohort of the NQCC Doctoral Studentship Scheme. Through this scheme, we will be supporting five cohorts, totalling 30 PhD students over the next eight years, to advance cutting-edge research in quantum computing. The funding is provided through the […]
