Briefings
The UK National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) signed an enterprise licensing agreement with Phasecraft to launch the SparQ Access initiative, granting UK businesses and researchers access to Phasecraft's quantum software. The partnership enables access to three specific tools: Magritte for materials modelling, Monet for density functional theory, and Mondrian for optimization. The programme invites proposals for projects in materials science, chemistry, and optimization, with technical support from Phasecraft's scientists and engineers. The first cohort of participants will begin in Spring 2027, with late November 2026 being the deadline for expressions of interest.
Key points
- The UK National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) signed an enterprise licensing agreement with Phasecraft to launch the SparQ Access initiative.
- Participants will work with three Phasecraft tools: Magritte for materials modelling, Monet for density functional theory, and Mondrian for optimization.
Context
This partnership marks the first time the NQCC makes quantum software available through its SparQ programme, aiming to accelerate quantum computing adoption for real-world problems across the UK. It aligns with the NQCC's mission to position UK organizations for quantum readiness by providing skills and knowledge.
Limitations
The evidence covers only the signing of the enterprise licensing agreement and the launch of the SparQ Access initiative. It does not include details on the specific number of reserved places for non-commercial research, the exact number of projects invited, or the specific outcomes of the first cohort's proposals.
