Software & platforms
The quantum software stack, the Quantum Software Park, digital–quantum integration, open-source tooling, and access to compute.
The layer between an algorithm on paper and an algorithm that runs.
An algorithm that exists only in a paper is not yet a capability. This pillar is the layer in between: the toolchains, the control software, the interfaces, and the arrangements that let someone outside the centre actually run something.
Digital–quantum integration is the part of this that matters most in practice. A quantum device is never used alone — it sits inside a digital system that schedules it, feeds it, reads it out, error-checks it and hands the result to something conventional. Building that boundary well is an engineering discipline in its own right, and it is a natural fit for a centre inside a Faculty of Engineering.
The Quantum Software Park is the route by which industry reaches this capability without having to build a quantum team first.
Methods we use
- Quantum software stack — from problem specification down to device instructions.
- Digital–quantum integration — control electronics, timing, readout, and the classical systems around a quantum device.
- RF and microwave electronics — fabrication and standardisation for quantum control.
- Open-source tooling — libraries and utilities released so that results can be reproduced.
- Compute access — gate-model and annealing hardware, classical HPC and state-vector simulators, and the scheduling between them.
Problems we apply them to
- Industry pilots that need a working prototype rather than a paper.
- Instrument control and automation for laboratory partners.
- Reproducible research software for the centre’s own results.
- Teaching infrastructure for the graduate programmes.

If you want to run something rather than read about it, start at Work with us; the Quantum Software Park is the longer-term route, and is still being established. Instrumentation and metrology hardware is RCQT’s domain — see RCQT.
