The development of large scale quantum computers is expected to be a decade long journey. Some predict a quantum winter before early investors see returns. This need not be the case for those willing to look more widely. Quantum computing is the poster child of the emerging quantum technology sector. However, the same underlying technologies…
The breadth of the UK national quantum technology programme is impressive. Four flavours of qubit technology were on display, but its not just quantum computing , cryptography, sensors and imaging were just as strongly represented. Now in its third year, the momentum really shows. Hand portable and chip scale devices that are at or near…
The EU has launched a €1b Future & Emerging Technologies (FET) Flagship initiative in Quantum Technologies. On 6 Nov 2017 the Quantum Flagship High-Level expert group handed over its final report to the European Commission.…
Quantum technologies are unlocking a new generation of measurement, sensing and imaging devices of unprecedented precision and capability. The ability to routinely manipulate matter at the atomic level, tailor high performance laser systems and detect individual photons of light unlocks a wealth of possibilities. The very fine quantum interference effects that become manifest in these…
