Aleks Kissinger from the University of Oxford, for example, will develop quantum compilers that translate code written by humans into something the machine can run. The software-enabled quantum-computation projects, meanwhile, will aim to improve the performance of quantum computers. The team will work with Transport for London (TfL) to test the new technology on London’s tube system. Led by Joseph Cotter from Imperial College London, it will explore how quantum sensors can complement global navigation systems, which have limited capability when not above ground. One PNT project will develop a new sensor technology that can be used underwater or underground. There will also be £6m for 19 feasibility studies in quantum computing applications and £25m for seven projects in quantum-enabled PNT via the Small Business Research Initiative. The £45m funding will include £8m for 12 projects exploring quantum technologies for position, navigation and timing (PNT) and £6m for 11 projects working on software-enabled quantum computation.
