A longer view
Quantum computing
This is an area we are following with a longer horizon. Our interest is in understanding the research, the tools around it and the conditions under which an application might become useful.
An area of exploration
Our focus
The parts that interest us.
Research to application
Looking at the assumptions behind a proposed use case and the evidence needed to assess it.
Tools for specialists
Exploring the software used to prepare, run and understand experiments or computational results.
Practical comparisons
Asking how an approach would be evaluated against the tools already available for the same problem.
The question behind the work
What would have to be true for a particular application to become practical?
Possible first steps
Something
we could test.
Starting points for discussion. A useful scope would be worked through with the people involved.
An application study
Work through one proposed use case with relevant specialists, documenting its requirements and unresolved questions.
A research interface
Explore a clearer way to organise an experiment, inspect results or communicate a technical finding.
