It will house a wide range of quantum computing platforms, uniquely offering open access to industry, academia, and other sectors across the UK. More than 70 staff will be based there, and the Centre will also host an array of opportunities for students – including the world’s first dedicated quantum apprenticeship programme, 30 PhD studentships, summer placements, and crash courses for those in industry.
Unlike many global counterparts, the NQCC’s systems are not restricted to government ownership or use, enabling anyone with a valid use case to harness its cutting-edge capabilities. By fostering collaboration and innovation, the NQCC is set to become a key driver of quantum breakthroughs, delivering transformative benefits for both the public and private sectors.
