The UK's Quantum Ambition: Hubs and Beyond

As the global race to develop quantum computers heats up, New Zealand is working on specialist areas of technology that could add crucial elements to the quantum supply chain.

That’s according to the University of Oxford’s Professor Andrew Daley, a principal investigator in the UK’s national quantum programme tasked with developing more accurate and functional quantum computers.

In the latest episode of The Business of Tech, Daley sat down with me during a visit to Wellington to break down the key issues facing the field, from dealing with error correction in the quantum world, to the challenges quantum computers pose to the encryption systems that keep our data private and secure.

New Zealand’s contribution to the quantum puzzle is not in building the highly complex and expensive computers themselves, but in supplying vital technologies, know-how, and a global network of talent, said Daley. The challenge now is to coordinate expertise, support industry engagement, and stake a place in quantum’s unfolding future. 

As Daley put it, “All of these pieces of the quantum technologies puzzle are going to come together in a very useful way.”
