Description

The National Quantum Computing Centre seeks to enhance the UK’s global leadership in quantum computing, to help translate UK research strengths into innovation, and enable the creation of the first generation of quantum computers, helping to build a resilient future economy.

Total Quantity or Scope

The NQCC’s initial focus has been on two platforms of quantum computing, one based on superconductors and one based on trapped ions. This were chosen based on technological maturity and UK strength. The NQCC continues to investigate other potential hardware modalities in detail. The centre will be headquartered in a purpose-built facility at the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC)’s Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Campus in Oxfordshire. The centre is due for completion in 2023. Ahead of the completion of the centre, a temporary lab facilities in existing STFC building have been used to fast track development. The required cavities will be used in both these temporary laboratories and in the NQCC lab spaces. The requirement is for two sets of cavities used to stabise strontium (or calcium) ions. Each system is identical and must meet the all of the requirements outlined within the Specification
