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.

Streamlining Environmental Impact Assessments in construction with AI
Independent advisory firm Turley worked with STFC HartreeĀ® Centre to simplify information extraction for Environmental Impact Assessments using AI. This initiative was supported by funding from the Innovate UK BridgeAI programme.

Monitoring soil health with AI
Rothamsted Research, STFC HartreeĀ® Centre and IBM collaborated through the Hartree National Centre for Digital Innovation (HNCDI), and used AI to predict the carbon content of soil through a combination of microbial and environmental data.
