The National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) and The University of Edinburgh have opened a software lab, dedicated to serving the complex needs of the centre.
The occasion was marked by the signing of a memorandum of understanding by both parties with the core aim to support the NQCC in developing a quantum software and applications centre that:
- attracts talent
- trains the next generation workforce
- provides scientific expertise to stakeholders
- builds the capability to solve the key scientific challenges facing quantum computation
The Quantum Software Lab will be based at the Edinburgh School of Informatics and will be led by NQCC Chief Scientist, Professor Elham Kashefi, with support from a team of leading researchers.
