3-month proof-of-concept for secure evidence-path optimisation.
TalkToAI, ZeroThink and QuantumEncryption1 can support a focused business-led PoC: synthetic critical-service workflows, secure connection constraints, classical baseline, quantum/simulator benchmark, and a testable browser demonstrator.
Correct route
3-month Proof of Concept, not the 6-month PoC+ route.
Intended lead
QuantumEncryption1 Ltd as the intended UK business-led vehicle, subject to registration and eligibility confirmation.
Public boundary
No claim of funding, endorsement, partnership, procurement, IBM/IonQ access, or university participation until confirmed in writing.
A practical 12-week demonstrator, not a broad research wish-list.
Weeks 1-2
Confirm eligibility, confirm the company lead, finalise one scope, define the NQCC/SparQ resource question, and approach Professor Kai / University of Nottingham only where the academic route is useful.
Weeks 3-4
Build synthetic workflow generator, graph model, trust-boundary rules, secure-connection constraints, and classical baseline.
Weeks 5-8
Run quantum/simulator experiments where suitable, benchmark against baseline, and document limits honestly.
Weeks 9-10
Create healthcare, energy, transport/logistics, and emergency/government demo scenarios using the same engine.
Weeks 11-12
Deliver working demo, benchmark report, risk register, hardware/software requirements, exploitation route, and next-stage pilot plan.
End result
A testable browser demo and final report for assessors and partners. Code/IP is not transferred unless separately agreed.
Healthcare/NHS
Synthetic referral, discharge, records access, and emergency hand-off routes.
Energy
Synthetic grid incident, maintenance, contractor, and control-room evidence paths.
Transport/logistics
Ports, rail, fleet, cold-chain, disruption routing, and chain-of-custody.
Government/public safety
Synthetic police, emergency-service, MOD-adjacent, and audit workflows with ethical boundaries.
Scope and eligibility come before action.
Following guidance received from Stuart Dick, Innovation Sector Lead at the National Quantum Computing Centre, this briefing treats scope and eligibility as first-order controls. It is an application-preparation page, not a statement that funding, access, or partners are confirmed.
The demonstrator uses synthetic data only. Real patient data, policing data, MOD data, live energy/transport data, secrets, private keys, and customer-sensitive records are outside the public demonstrator boundary.
