In collaboration with end‑user partners, we research and develop quantum computing software applications of high commercial and societal importance, with a focus on quantum optimisation and quantum machine learning. We have particular expertise in the healthcare and financial services sectors.
We support organisations through consulting and technical advisory services, helping them understand and apply quantum computing methods to complex high-impact business problems.
Applied Quantum Computing is a member of the IBM Quantum Network.
Quantum computing techniques
Quantum optimisation
Optimisation problems can be found everywhere in business. Almost any problem can be cast into an optimisation framework.
Example applications include factory workflow optimisation, aircraft scheduling and traffic-flow optimisation for land-based transportation. In a finance context, early applications have been to portfolio optimisation and option pricing.
Quantum machine learning
Quantum computing techniques can be used to enhance the performance of machine learning models.
This area offers great potential and is a prime focus of quantum computing development. Concrete applications can be expected across the full range of current machine learning use cases.
