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.
The NQCC, in collaboration with STFC’s Campus and Cluster team, is pleased to announce the launch of a call for business-led proof of concept projects in quantum computing. Funded through the NQCC’s SparQ programme, this initiative aims to facilitate the exploration of practical applications for quantum computing and use cases that are relevant to the […]
The NQCC announces its doctoral studentship scheme to provide support for up to 30 students over 8 years. Currently, there are 6 doctoral studentships available for eligible UK universities, to run from autumn 2025. The studentships will be supported through EPSRC’s Industrial Cooperative Awards in Science & Engineering (ICASE) scheme, with the NQCC as the […]
Skills development and training are crucial priorities for the NQCC as they help build a quantum-ready economy. “We aim to build a talent pipeline that offers accessible routes into quantum computing for people at all career stages,” says Abby Casey, Quantum Readiness Delivery Lead at the NQCC. “We want to lower the barrier to entry, […]
The third annual UK Quantum Hackathon, delivered by the National Quantum Computing Centre, will take place at the University of Warwick from 22-24 July 2024. The hackathon provides hands-on experience working with quantum algorithms and programming quantum computers Participants have the opportunity to work in teams with industry mentors on real-world use cases, to understand […]
The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) has announced the first innovative start-ups to join two new business support programmes, aimed at helping digital and quantum technology start-ups succeed in global markets. In partnership with the NQCC, the Quantum Business Incubation Centre (QuBIC) supports businesses developing innovative products or services that rely on quantum technologies. […]
In July 2023, we held our second UK Quantum Hackathon at the University of Birmingham as part of SparQ, our user engagement programme. Over the course of two days, ten teams of early career researchers used quantum computing to tackle practical problems based on use cases provided by industrial end-users. Today, we are pleased to […]
