Dr. Corey O’Meara – Chief Quantum Scientist – E.ONDr. Corey O’Meara’s work has covered various ways quantum computers could help contribute to solutions around managing the future decentralized energy grid. His work showcases several results relating to optimization problems which have an emphasis on renewable energy integration.
Dr. O'Meara and his team are working on some interesting use cases for potential quantum utility, as Google has just announced a 5 million dollar prize pool for the industry to apply for demonstration. He is publishing interesting studies demonstrating competitive and in some cases, better-scaling results of using a quantum computer to solve optimization problems in the energy sector.
Daniel worked on the Digital Catapult Quantum Technology Access Programme (QTAP), and supported eleven participants, including Airbus, Rolls-Royce and the UKAEA, on their journey from quantum computing theory to hands-on work. The participants contributed a wide range of use cases from industry, and ran scaled-down versions of these use cases on the ORCA PT-1 photonic computer.
Daniel has a Masters in Quantum Technology at University College, London, and researched Quantum Error Correction Codes. He has experience working with quantum annealing and photonic computers, as well as the standard quantum circuit model. He has a good understanding of algorithms for the NISQ and the fault tolerant era. He is particularly interested in quantum machine learning, and has written a guide on machine learning for quantum computing specialists.
Dr. Sonali Mohapatra – Quantum Innovation Sector Lead – National Quantum Computing CentreDr. Sonali Mohapatra is a Quantum Innovation Sector Lead at the NQCC leading and supporting the NQCC’s innovation strategy and sectoral engagement framework. In her role, Sonali works across government, policymakers, regulators, industry and academia to support QC use-case discovery and application development work across a portfolio of sectors such as healthcare, pharmaceuticals, aerospace, financial services, energy, space and AI to deliver quantum readiness for the UK.
Dr. Mohapatra has an interdisciplinary research and technical background leading the development of a variety of world-first technical projects and extensive industry experience leading the development and commercialisation of early-stage quantum and AI technologies for new space.
