Quantum computing has the potential to transform industries from pharmaceuticals and logistics to material science and beyond – but it’s a complex topic to understand. Quantum computing introduces new concepts, tools and even ways of thinking. In this blog we will unpack some of the most relevant key terms and ideas, and explain how we’re supporting UK industry to prepare, and benefit from quantum computing
Case Studies
Reducing 3D printing failures through temperature monitoring
Microfluidics consultancy Rapid Fluidics Ltd worked with STFC Hartree® Centre and the University of Cambridge to enhance 3D printing throughput as part of the Smart Manufacturing Data Hub (SMDH) programme.
Estimating and reducing resources for solving cryptography problems using quantum computers
To make quantum computing practical for real-world challenges such as drug discovery and material innovation, it is crucial to understand and reduce its resource requirements. Our work with PsiQuantum focuses on optimising the quantum resources needed to solve cryptographic problems, a key step in advancing quantum computing for broader applications in this field.
Improving Electric Vehicle Batteries through Immersion Cooling Simulations
STFC Hartree Centre worked with Faraday Battery to explore the potential of immersion cooling to enhance electric vehicle battery efficiency through the Innovate UK A4I programme.
