Quantum & High Performance Computing

The next generation of computing technology will use quantum mechanical effects to process information much faster than classical computers and enable us to solve problems that are orders of magnitude more complex. We are seeing increasing development and investment in quantum computing with the potential to disrupt a wide variety of sectors such as security, finance, communications, and healthcare in a fundamental way.

Experts in Quantum & High Performance Computing

We've been advising on the legal and regulatory considerations of quantum & high performance computing, the commercial transactions involving the hardware and software required to exploit this technology, and the corporate and finance activities of the organisations operating in this space. 

Some relevant examples include advising:

  • a manufacturer of quantum photonic systems and devices on its £35 million pound equity fundraising; its terms and conditions for the provision of hardware, software, and services; and matters relating to the protection and management of its IP portfolio.
  • on the acquisition of a world-leader in the field of quantum security by a listed company in the technology sector.
  • on one of the largest supercomputer acquisitions globally for the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting, as well as intellectual property matters and software licensing, and its agreement with the European Union to provide data analytical services under the Copernicus satellite project.
