UK budget to push quantum computing
The UK government will invest £2.5bn in quantum computing over the next decade, according to the Financial Times (FT). Chancellor Jeremy Hunt will announce the programme as part of the country’s spring budget on March 15.
A key player in the 10-year programme will be the National Quantum Computing Centre which is being built in Oxfordshire. However the government will also seek to create a “future network of research hubs” around the country, the FT reports.
