About us

Singapore’s National Quantum Computing Hub (NQCH) is building capabilities, community, and collaborations to enter the next era of computing.

NQCH pursues practical quantum advantage with initiatives to develop applications, middleware and hardware for quantum computing. It aims to work with businesses to explore solutions for their challenges. The Hub also has a programme to develop talent to meet the skills shortage in this emerging industry.

The Hub is a joint initiative of the Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) at the National University of Singapore, the Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) and the National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC) Singapore.

Our leadership

The National Quantum Computing Hub is led from the top of its three partner organisations. Staff from the organisations contribute to the Hub’s mission across three vertical efforts in hardware, middleware and applications, and horizontal activities of talent, outreach and international collaborations.

Quantum computing is coming. The question is not about ‘when’, but about ‘who’ will be ready to use this technology. The approach taken in Singapore is to combine the expertise from our researchers with the needed support to achieve such a mission.

Centre for Quantum Technologies, Lead Principal Investigator

Quantum computing is a revolutionary technology that promises a significant shift in how information is processed and analysed to solve complex problems traditionally limited by classical computers. We are pleased to contribute our expertise in computational science, high performance computing, artificial intelligence and optimisation.

Institute of High Performance Computing, Co-Principal Investigator

The synergy between HPC and quantum computing is set to redefine research. By leveraging the combined capabilities of both supercomputers and quantum systems, we have the opportunity to greatly advance research and put Singapore at the forefront of science and innovation.
