The NQCC has signed an enterprise licence agreement with Phasecraft, the quantum algorithms company, to give UK organisations access to Phasecraft’s quantum software with the aim of accelerating the use of quantum computing for real-world problems across the UK as part of the NQCC’s wider SparQ Access initiative.
As part of the collaboration, the NQCC and Phasecraft will invite proposals from UK businesses and researchers to leverage Phasecraft’s software for their own challenges in areas like materials science, chemistry, and optimisation, with support from Phasecraft’s scientists and engineers. Places are also reserved for the NQCC and academics to carry out non-commercial research.
Simon Plant, Deputy Director at the National Quantum Computing Centre, said: “Our mission at the NQCC is to ensure that UK businesses, academia and the public sector are well positioned to realise the benefits of quantum computing. This new partnership with Phasecraft marks the first time we are making quantum software available through our SparQ programme, helping organisations develop the skills, knowledge and experience they need on their journey towards quantum readiness.”
