OQC PAPER
Sovereign Quantum
Computing for UK Defence
SECURING THE UK’S OPERATIONAL AND STRATEGIC EDGE IN THE QUANTUM AGE
This paper sets out where quantum computing is expected to matter most for UK Defence: contested ISR; multi-domain decision-making; autonomous systems operating under denial; logistics resilience; strategic stealth and deterrence; cyber dominance; and survivability through advanced materials.
Quantum computing is expected to provide new computational pathways for these specific, strategically important problem sets. It will not replace classical systems, but it will allow Defence to address the highest-complexity challenges that currently constrain capability development, tempo, and survivability. Preparing now ensures that access to this capability is established before operational demand becomes acute and before adversaries shape the field to their advantage.

Why work with OQC?
Operational advantage in contested ISR, autonomy, survivability and cyber will depend on mastering the technologies that define future warfare. Quantum computing is expected to be one of the few capabilities capable of unlocking performance gains that classical and AI-enabled systems cannot deliver.
OQC are bridging today’s hardware with tomorrow’s algorithms through a shared process of discovery.
OQC’s Collaboration approach is built around:
- Collaborative innovation – we partner closely to co-develop quantum applications that demonstrate measurable ROI and build quantum readiness in our customer teams.
- Enterprise-grade reliability – proven uptime and operational stability on locally-hosted quantum systems.
- Secure access – all operations are governed by local data security and compliance standards.
- Scalable infrastructure – our platform enables proof-of-concept work to evolve seamlessly into production-scale operations by removing barriers to entry.
