Draft:National Quantum Computing Centre

Submission declined on 20 May 2025 by SportingFlyer (talk).

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Where to get help

If you need help editing or submitting your draft, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors. These venues are only for help with editing and the submission process, not to get reviews.
If you need feedback on your draft, or if the review is taking a lot of time, you can try asking for help on the talk page of a relevant WikiProject. Some WikiProjects are more active than others so a speedy reply is not guaranteed.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: This needs better sourcing to show notability. The Computer Weekly article doesn't look bad, but this is mostly self-referenced. SportingFlyer T·C 02:23, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

The National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC)..^[1] is the UK's national lab for quantum computing. NQCC works with businesses, government and the research community to deliver quantum computing capabilities for the UK. NQCC's vision is to enable the UK to solve some of the most complex and challenging problems facing society by harnessing the potential of quantum computing.

NQCC’s facility was inaugurated on 25 October 2024 by the UK's Science Minister, Patrick Vallance.^[2]

It is based at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory on the Harwell Science Campus in Oxfordshire^[3] ^[4]

Academic Collaborations

Bristol University collaborates with the NQCC and offers courses on quantum information and quantum computation ^[5].

In July 2024, NQCC hosted at the University of Warwick a "Quantum Hackathon"; the three day event saw 13 teams tackling real-world challenges provided by industrial end users, exploring solutions across quantum machine learning, optimisation, and simulation and subsequently published the "UK Quantum Hackathon 2024 Technical Report" ^[6]
