Meet us at The UK National Quantum Technologies Showcase

Event overview

This year’s National Quantum Technologies Showcase, the flagship event of the UK’s quantum community, will take place on Thursday 2 November at the Business Design Centre (BDC), London. The showcase will feature some of the UK’s most exciting projects from across the Quantum landscape demonstrating the advancing commercialisation and industrialisation of quantum technologies in the UK. This year’s event is being organised by Innovate UK working with the Knowledge Transfer Network.

The Quantum Technologies Showcase is open to anyone with a vested interest in the UK quantum technology sector, including industry professionals, businesses, academics, government representatives and investors.

Hear from us

Advancing the UK Quantum Ecosystem – The Quantum Technology Access Programme

Representing Digital Catapult at this event will be Daniel Goldsmith, Senior Quantum Computing Technologist and Pippa Spencer-Williams, Senior Innovation Partner. Both Daniel and Pippa will be speaking from 14:00 – 14:45 about the Quantum Technology Access Programme (QTAP) offered by Digital Catapult, which is part of a wider Innovate UK Industry Strategy Challenge Fund (ISCF) funded project called Quantum Data Centre of the Future which aims to embed a quantum computer within a classical data centre to explore real world access to a quantum computer.

QTAP aims to engage organisations, raising awareness of the technology and exploring potential quantum computing use cases; providing them with access to the technology and expertise. This presentation seeks to provide an overview of this programme, whilst delving into the benefits it will bring to the organisations involved and the wider UK quantum ecosystem.

Our speakers

Daniel Goldsmith

Senior Quantum Computing Technologist

Daniel has a Masters in Quantum Technology at University College, London, and researched Quantum Error Correction Codes. He has experience of working with quantum annealing and photonic computers, as well as the standard quantum circuit model. He has a good understanding of algorithms for the NISQ and the fault tolerant era. He is particularly interested in quantum machine learning. Daniel also has extensive experience of leading teams to design, build, test, cut over, and operate global ERP IT systems. This has given him an excellent understanding of the key elements of a successful IT implementation. He has a deep knowledge of technical and process architecture and has worked in key integration roles on large and complex projects. Daniel also has a good appreciation of finance, gained from qualifying as a Chartered Accountant at Ernst & Young, and then working as a European Financial Controller for a technology firm earlier in his career. He studied Physics at Jesus College, Cambridge.
