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.

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.
