CCP-QC aims to bring about close
co-operation between other CCPs and the quantum computing community,
rather than build a separate computational community for quantum computing.
CCP-QC aims to:
- Build an active research community encompassing CCP members interested
in enhancing their simulations by adding quantum computing capability to
their code, and quantum technology researchers working on applications
of quantum computing to simulations.
- Generate small projects supported by CoSeC
staff time to develop methods appropriate to specific applications,
leading to proof-of-concept demonstrations on early quantum hardware.
This will also develop capacity in CoSeC for quantum computing.
- Interface with the National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) in developing early applications of quantum
computing.
- Provide training in quantum computing for researchers who are expert
in computational science but lack quantum computing knowledge.
- Support career development of early career researchers through
subsidised meetings, annual awards for best presentation, and a pairing
scheme to link those working in computational science with those working
in quantum computing and quantum algorithms.
- Promote cross-CCP networking to share knowledge on early applications
of quantum computing, enabling the widest possible early adoption of
quantum enhanced computational science.
- Interface with industry and other partners who are key
players in developing quantum computing technology in the UK, and
internationally.
- Provide information on early quantum computing applications in
academic research to the wider community through this website maintained
for the life of the CCP. The website will advertise contact details and
opportunities to join the community through meetings, training days, and
signposts for collaboration.
CCP-QC does not aim to develop or
curate its own body of code, rather, any code developed will belong to
the CCP community for that application. Pointers to those applications,
and information about what works and why will be available on the
website, to guide those developing further applications.
