Our work programme will be organised around closely connected research themes:
1
Theme 1: Integrated Quantum Demonstrators
Integrated quantum demonstrators will bring together taskforces developing hardware, software, and applications for quantum computing, with the goal of producing systems capable of quantum advantage in the near term.
2
Theme 2: Interconnected Quantum Computer Systems
Interconnected quantum computer systems will address the challenges of building large-scale interconnected systems.
3
Theme 3: Quantum Computing Enabled Science and Applications
Quantum computing enabled science and applications will bring together applications scientists with experts in quantum software to advance algorithms and use cases.
4
Tools
Key to all these themes is work on overarching tools for quantum computing, including qubit optimisation, error reduction, verification at scale, and the use of digital twins for benchmarking and engineering.
