Start with your problem, not our organisational chart

How to read this

Lead means we have published results in that combination of method and domain, and can point you at them. Active means work is in progress and there is something to show, but it is not finished. Emerging means early or exploratory — worth a conversation, not yet worth a promise.

An emerging cell is not a gap we are embarrassed by. It is a gap we are telling you about, because the alternative — claiming everything is ready — is how quantum computing acquired its credibility problem in the first place. If an emerging cell is exactly your problem, that is still worth an email: it may be a proposal waiting to be written.

What sits behind each application page

Every application page follows the same fixed structure, so you can compare them:

• The problem, stated in your terms before any quantum content.
• Approach — the actual formulation, not a gesture at one.
• Classical baseline — what a good conventional method already achieves.
• Maturity — exploratory, published result, working prototype, or in service.
• Direct impact — who feels the difference if it works.
• What deployment requires.
• Evidence — the publications behind the claim, linked by DOI rather than asserted.

The classical baseline and maturity fields are there on purpose. A centre that tells you where a classical method still wins is more useful than one that does not, and its claims age better.
