STFC Business & Innovation

Happy #WorldQuantumDay! 🎉 Take a look at STFC's introduction to the National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) and the importance of quantum computing 👇

It’s been a fantastic week at the 40th Space Symposium in Colorado. We were delighted to welcome the Governor of Colorado and many other engaged delegates to the UK Pavilion throughout the week, where we explored key initiatives that highlight the UK’s growing influence in the global space sector. 🛰️🚀 A huge thank you as well to everyone who joined us at our networking drinks reception and special thanks to our event sponsor, Scottish Development International.

🖥️ In today’s fast-paced world, digital innovation is no longer just an advantage but rather a necessity. There are so many digital tools and technologies in existence, but which ones are going to help tackle your organisation’s challenges? 🎙️ In a recent podcast by STFC Business & Innovation, our computational scientist Tseden Taddese explains, through the lens of our Materials and Chemistry team, how STFC Hartree Centre helps companies address the specific challenges they face through computational modelling and simulation techniques. She also describes her fellowship experience with speciality chemicals and sustainable technologies company Johnson Matthey, together with two other Johnson Matthey fellows from STFC - Hamish C. from Central Laser Facility and Sneha Banerjee from ISIS Neutron and Muon Source. 💭 Reflecting on her fellowship, Tseden shared how this opportunity has enhanced collaboration between Johnson Matthey and the different teams across the Hartree Centre, enabling Johnson Matthey to explore a wider range of technologies they might not have considered otherwise: “Through my fellowship, the modelling team at Johnson Matthey found out that we also have the data science team, the AI team, and the quantum computing team, so they came to the Hartree Centre to discuss other collaborative opportunities. We are currently setting up various projects not just with me (in the Chemistry and Materials team) but also with the other Hartree Centre teams (working on different digital technologies).” - Tseden Taddese, Computational Scientist at STFC Hartree Centre and Johnson Matthey Research Fellow. 🎧 Listen to the full podcast episode: https://lnkd.in/e4ZUNjj6 #DigitalInnovation #ComputationalModelling #AI #DataScience #QuantumComputing #HighPerformanceComputing

It was great to welcome Qoro to STFC's Quantum Business Incubation Centre (QuBIC) programme in March, incubated at Harwell Science and Innovation Campus. Their mission? To enable scalable quantum technology, using the networks of today and tomorrow. Also, to enable and create breakthroughs in computer science and accelerate the global quantum developer ecosystem outcomes for multiple industry verticals. ⚛️ What inspired the name of this cutting-edge deep tech company? 🤔 👇 Coro [ˈkɔro] – noun, (figurative) chorus, choir. Qoro [ˈqɔro] – orchestrating quantum systems and networks to perform in perfect harmony. We look forward to supporting this exciting start-up's development over the next 18 months. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/exP2-ja7
