ISCF Commercialising Quantum Technology - Competition Briefing
Streamed live September 2, 2019
Quote:
As part of the Industrial Strategy the Government will invest in the “Commercialising quantum technologies” Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund (ISCF) to enable the UK to lead the global development and application of quantum technologies. UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), in collaboration with the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and the Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN), would like to invite you to attend a briefing event on the 2nd September in London to hear about the new funding competition and how you can get involved.
Feasibility and Industrial Research Projects Round 1: UK businesses can apply for a share of up to £6m for quantum technology innovation projects. The aim of the competition is to advance the commercialisation of quantum technologies in the UK. This is achieved through the investment of up to £6m in innovation projects which address one or more of the following technical challenges:
- connectivity
- situational awareness
- computing
Large Collaborative Projects Round 1: UK businesses can apply for a share of up to £27m to collaborate on developing quantum products and services.
The aim of the competition is to advance the commercialisation of quantum technologies in the UK through the investment of up to £27m in innovation projects. Projects should focus on one or more of the following technical challenges:
- connectivity
- situational awareness
- computing
The projects must exploit second generation quantum techniques.
Projects must demonstrate how the technology can be brought to market (as hardware, software or a service) in the UK and how it fulfils an end user need. Projects must include the development, manufacture (if applicable) and application of the technology.
Applications are expected from consortia led by a business but in exceptional circumstances applications from consortia led by research and technology organisations (RTOs) will be considered.
The briefing event will BE an opportunity to hear about the scope of the competitions in more detail.

Prof. Jacob Biamonte - Quantum computing from science to business
Nov 3, 2019
Quote:
Quantum technology is set to accelerate a wide class of horizontally enabling technology domains. This includes quantum enhanced algorithms for machine learning and a wide class of materials science applications. These algorithms represent early-stage technology and are ripe to be applied and tested on enterprise applications. What industries will be the first successful early adopters? What challenges remain? How fast is the technology moving? This talk surveys the state of the art in quantum enhanced technologies, it explains to the lay person some key workings behind quantum processors and gives some analysis of the technologies current and future impact on business.

Risk and cryptography in times of quantum computers - Thales
Quote:
In September, a document was leaked that Google had managed to build a quantum computer. On the 23rd of October the official confirmation was published. The Nature Magazine reported extensively on the Quantum Computer and Sycamore. According to the report, the Quantum Computer did a math problem in around three minutes, which would have required more than 10,000 years for the so-called supercomputer.
Thales in Germany talked with its experts, Daniela Jantner and Klaus Hauber, about the future of cryptography in times of Quantum Computer.

GOTO 2019 • Quantum Computing • Jessica Pointing
Nov 29, 2019
Quote:
Solving certain types of problems can take billions of years on our current conventional computers. Quantum computers, however, could potentially solve these types of problems in just seconds. Quantum computers have the potential to impact many fields, such as machine learning, medicine, and energy systems. What is possible in the future with quantum computers? How do quantum computers work? How do you program a quantum computer? How much progress have we made? Jessica Pointing will explore these questions and more during this introduction to quantum computing.
