Developing valuable operational healthcare applications using quantum computing techniques – Award of grant by Innovate UK

Applied Quantum Computing together with its collaborators Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, The Public Service Consultants (the PSC) and the National Quantum Computing Centre have been awarded a grant by Innovate UK, part of UKRI to research the feasibility of developing operational healthcare applications making use of quantum computing techniques. The research project is due to complete by 30 November 2024 and was awarded as part of the Feasibility Studies in Quantum Computing Applications funding competition.

The collaborating partners have already worked together on a Proof of Concept which demonstrated that there are many such procedural tasks where quantum computing has the potential to offer improved efficiencies.
