Classical computational chemistry methods such as density functional theory (DFT) and Hartree-Fock (HF) have become ubiquitous in materials research and design, reducing the reliance on costly and time-consuming empirical studies. However, the accuracy of these methods varies greatly, and almost all are known to fail spectacularly in systems with strong e...

This work addresses the computational challenge of simulating the magnetohydrodynamic equations of liquid metals such as Li or LiPb, which are used as coolants and sources of neutron multipliers and tritium breeding in nuclear fusion reactors. This project is a feasibility study into the use of quantum algorithms for simulating the magnetohydrodynamics of...

In this project we deploy the world's most powerful quantum processors (Quantinuum H-Series quantum computers) and our in-house computational chemistry software stack to develop a quantum computing workflow for simulating the fundamental properties and reactivity of actinide elements. This project will be done in conjunction with the Atomic Weapons Establ...

Our project aims to address a major challenge in quantum computing: hardware noise. To achieve quantum advantage and have a significant impact on the world economy, quantum computers must be able to solve practical problems faster than classical computers. Error mitigation techniques have been developed to suppress the effects of noise in near-term quantu...

Quantum computers promise an unprecedented increase in the existing computational power, enabling improved performance to a range of applications from medicine, biology and search for new materials to improved machine learning and more accurate predictions in finance. During the last decade, we have entered the "quantum technology era", where this theoret...

Data is one of the world's most valuable commodities -- affecting every person, every company, every government, everywhere. Most of the world's cybersecurity infrastructure is based on the exchange and use of digital cryptographic keys. Random number generators (RNGs) are essential components of this existing infrastructure, and newer technologies such a...

To embed knowledge of advanced type systems, to create a new programming language with a state-of-the-art type system for quantum software, improving productivity and in-house capability.

"Quantum computers have the potential to be an invaluable tool to solve major problems in chemistry and materials science, which are relevant for industrial applications in areas ranging from the design of new drugs to the engineering of advanced materials. However, current and near-term machines are very sensitive to small perturbations that introduce er...

Oxford Quantum Circuits Limited (OQC), established in June 2017, are developing quantum computing processors based on superconducting circuits. A fundamental business question for OQC is what applications (quantum algorithms) are best suited for its technology, and how to most efficiently realise first generation processors that will be capable of running...
