Description The prominence of the UK in the tensor network approach to quantum software has been considerably enhanced by its funding of the International Quantum Tensor Network [EP/Wo26872/1]. This Network has brought together an international community of researchers across 22 countries (on 6 continents) thus far, including 73 universities and 18 quantum companies, including IBM, Google, Quantinuum (in the US and UK), Orca Computing, Zapata, Microsoft and Phasecraft.

The Network has so far held 2 plenary meetings, at UCL (London) in June 2022 and at the Center for Computational Quantum Physics (New York City) in March 2023. IQTN have also provided financial support to a workshop in Dundee in January 2023, which was organised by members of the IQTN community.

IQTN has 2 further plenary meetings planned, at TUM Raitenhaslach (Germany) in July 2023 and the University of Strathclyde (Glasgow) in January 2023. IQTN will also provide financial and administrative support to further 6 planned workshops, taking place in various locations across the US, UK and mainland Europe. Workshop organisers become Network Partners.

Network activities provide opportunities for new collaborations to emerge. There are 2 known grant applications coming out of IQTN activities, with others likely to follow. We also expect to see future publications crediting IQTN.
Exploitation Route Our activities are valued by our international partners, shown by the significant financial contributions we have received from collaborating parties including approximately $100,000 from the Flatiron Institute, €32,000 from Technical University of Munich, and $3000 respectively from IBM, Google and Quantinuum.
