UKRI: Integration of AI/HPC with quantum computing

Funding for collaborative projects that integrate quantum computing into workflows using high-performance computing and artificial intelligence. Projects should address practical bottlenecks and demonstrate benefits of quantum-classical approaches. Projects can last three years from a fixed start of 1 June 2027. The maximum project full economic cost is £3.75 million, with EPSRC funding 80%. Applications close at 16:00 UK time on 3 November 2026.

Project leads must be based at a UK research organisation eligible for EPSRC funding. A person may lead at most one application. The opportunity permits international collaborators as project partners; the UKRI-RCN and UKRI-IIASA co-lead agreements do not apply.
