Lot #1In order to achieve this medium-term goal, the NQCC has developed a technology…Planned

In order to achieve this medium-term goal, the NQCC has developed a technology roadmap, and has identified a series of technical work packages (WPs) that are suitable for delivery by external contractors. These WPs focus on the delivery of technology solutions according to a set of required technical performance specifications, for both hardware and software, related to quantum computing.

The NQCC intends to hold an event to inform potential suppliers of the tendering process and requirements related to WP20 - Algorithm study for NISQ systems achieving quantum advantage. WP20 involves the study of NISQ-relevant algorithm(s) to demonstrate quantum advantage in genuine value-generating task(s). This is where quantum advantage is defined as the ability to outperform a classical computer at specific tasks. Further information will be provided at the event. Additional information: A Supplier Day will be held on the 28th June. Suppliers are to register their interest in joining this event by emailing: their Organisation name, Registered address and Contact information to [email protected]
