Innovations
One of the key goals of this Project is to stimulate greater innovation within the QAP community in Europe. Quantum information processing activities within Europe rank extremely well internationally on the academic research front but it lags behind in terms of commercialisation and innovation when compared with other continents. To address this significant weakness, innovation activities will be supported by the project both directly and indirectly.
The Innovation Committee (IC) is responsible for heightening the degree of innovation and commercialisation of the project-generated knowledge and know-how and increasing the awareness of innovation possibilities in QAP. The IC aims to build stronger links between the academic QAP community and QAP interested industry by gathering together a QAP Special Interest Group Industry Cluster. This will build upon our current industrial partners already within QAP.
A primary goal of the Innovation Committee, is to assist with the project’s Technology Transfer, working closely with all partners to proactively identify, evaluate, help protect and then market, the project’s generated Intellectual Property to industry.
Although much of the project’s R&D is still medium-term with respect to commercialisation, some activities, such as the development of Quantum Information Processing teaching hardware for Universities and industry is near-term and the project will support both types of innovation.
The HP Labs Innovation Research Program is designed to create opportunities -- at colleges, universities and research institutes around the world -- for breakthrough collaborative research with HP. Through this open and competitive Call for Proposals, we are soliciting your best ideas on a range of topics with the goal of establishing new research collaborations.
