Programme support
The proposed request is for guidance on which NQCC resources, technical advice, or access route are appropriate for a 3-month business-led PoC.
Resource route
NQCC, IBM Quantum, IonQ, and academic routes to confirm.
This page describes possible resource routes for the proposed 3-month demonstrator. It avoids claiming access, endorsement, or partnership before written confirmation.
Quantum resource route
Resource access request for a focused benchmark.
The PoC can begin on simulators and request quantum-computing access only where it gives a measurable comparison for the secure evidence-path optimisation workload.
Potential cloud access
IBM Quantum access can be considered for simulator and QPU benchmarking if account, queue, cost, and suitability are confirmed.
Potential cloud access
IonQ can be considered for a small quantum-seal or optimisation benchmark if API access, cost, and project fit are confirmed.
Potential academic route
Professor Kai / University of Nottingham is listed as a potential advisory route to be confirmed, covering technical advice, validation, or a support letter if appropriate.
Existing implementation base
TalkToAI and ZeroThink can provide web workflow, AI-assisted reporting, provenance UI, and demonstrator infrastructure.
Subject to approval
Public and application text does not state that access, collaboration, endorsement, or funding is confirmed until written confirmation exists.
Application pathway
NQCC/SparQ resource request for review.
Following eligibility confirmation, this section defines the exact technical resource question: which NQCC/SparQ support or quantum access route best fits the proposed benchmark workload.
