Understanding the importance of standards in Quantum Computing and Facilitating the development of standards

The UK National Quantum Technologies Programme identifies the development of standards as an important part of the creation of a thriving quantum ecosystem. The aim of this event is to bring together UK industrial, governmental and academic organisations within the quantum field to share progress following on from our previous workshop. Having established a UK national standards committee with BSI as the forum for discussions on the development of standards for quantum technology we want to review the rapidly developing field of standards for quantum computing. Discussing the barriers for involvement, the emerging topic of benchmarking and how we align to represent the UK internationally on policies.
