Quantum readiness self-check

This self-check is an orientation aid. It is not an official assessment, a certification or a funding eligibility test, and nothing you answer is stored.

Awareness and strategy

1. How well does your organisation understand where quantum technologies could affect its business?

Not yet considered Some individual awareness Discussed at management level Assessed and documented

2. Does quantum appear in your technology or innovation roadmap?

No As a topic to watch With named actions With actions, owners and budget

3. Is someone responsible for following quantum developments?

No one Informally A named person A team with a mandate

Use cases

4. Have you identified problems where quantum computing, sensing or communication could help?

Not yet Ideas only A short list of candidate use cases Prioritised use cases with expected value

5. Can you describe a candidate problem precisely (data, constraints, today's method)?

No Roughly For one problem For several problems, with benchmarks

6. Have you run a quantum proof of concept or pilot?

No Planned One completed Several, with lessons recorded

Skills and partners

7. Do you have staff with quantum-relevant skills?

None Self-taught interest One or two trained people A trained group

8. Do you work with research organisations, vendors or networks on quantum?

No Occasional contact One active collaboration Several partnerships or project participation

9. Is there a training plan for quantum-related skills?

No Ad hoc courses Planned for some roles Part of the skills strategy

Security and infrastructure

10. Do you know which of your systems rely on public-key cryptography that quantum computers could break?

No Partly A cryptographic inventory exists Inventory and a post-quantum migration plan

11. Can you access computing or test resources to try quantum methods (cloud, HPC centres, testbeds)?

No We know where to look We have used one We have regular access

Awareness and strategy

12. Is there budget for quantum exploration in the next two years?

No Possibly A small exploration budget A planned programme budget
