Abstract

"In this talk, I will share insights from my journey in driving innovation within the quantum space across various sectors, including space, financial services, healthcare & pharmaceuticals and across various emerging technologies. Drawing from my current role at the National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC), I will discuss the transformative potential of quantum readiness driven by the adoption of quantum computing use cases. I will briefly introduce the NQCC, which was established under the UK government's National Quantum Technologies Program, to address the challenge of scaling quantum computing and discuss the various support mechanisms we have put in place to support the quantum ecosystem in the Uk, including our flagship user engagement program, SPARQ. Through these initiatives, the NQCC supports the discovery of relevant quantum computing use cases and spearheads the development of quantum computing applications. Throughout the talk, I will emphasize the importance of engaging stakeholders from government, industry, academia, as well as regulators and policymakers to spearhead responsible innovation."
