The National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) works to help the UK address some of society’s most complex challenges by harnessing quantum computing. As an independent and trusted authority operating nationally and internationally, it supports the development, adoption, and long-term impact of this emerging technology.
The centre advances quantum technology by building, testing, and hosting first-generation quantum computers while collaborating with industry and academia to solve the challenge of scaling. Covering the full stack—from hardware and software to applications—the NQCC also maintains the UK’s quantum computing roadmap, guiding progress from today’s NISQ era toward universal fault-tolerant quantum computing. In parallel, it prepares the UK to become quantum-ready through training, partnerships, and secure access to quantum resources.
Alongside technology development, the NQCC is establishing secure national infrastructure and facilities that enable collaboration, innovation, and sovereign capability, helping position the UK as a global leader in quantum computing.
