Quantum Computing (2019)
Oxford University is at the forefront of the UK’s efforts to build the first generation of quantum computers with world-leading performance. Quantum computing has the potential to transform areas of our lives such as healthcare, finance and security – and Oxford is pioneering theory, technology and responsible innovation to ensure that its power will bring benefits for all of society.
A 21st-century challenge
Working as part of a national consortium that harnesses the research power of nine universities, Oxford has combined the latest breakthroughs with a rich history in computing, quantum theory and mathematical innovation to help bring us to the verge of realising one of the great scientific challenges of the 21st century.
We’re celebrating the landmark moments that have led scientists in Oxford and around the world to where we are now; we’re taking you into the labs of researchers working at the cutting edge of this new frontier in our latest Futuremakers podcast episode; and we’ve picked the best content from around Oxford’s quantum computing community to take you from the fundamentals into the future.
