Next generation quantum key distribution is set to offer easier deployment on existing real-world infrastructure. The importance of partnering to offer end-to-end business services to early adopters is growing. The recent extension of the UK Quantum Network to the BT led tech cluster at Adastral Park is a powerful statement.... Read more

The UK Quantum Showcase demonstrates why others around the world are seeking to copy the UK’s quantum technology approach. It’s little surprise that the UK government is providing additional funding of £315m over the next 5 years. The 2018 UK National Quantum Technology Showcase took place in the prestigious QEII...

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.... Read more

As published in Optica, scientists reduce the power demands for generating soliton frequency combs, an essential tool for highly accurate optical clocks. Researchers at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) have reduced the power requirements to generate soliton frequency combs, an... Read more

Following the recent decision, taken by measurement scientists from around the world, to redefine the International System of Measurement (SI) units, on the 20th of each month we will be looking at one of the seven SI base units.... Read more

The results from the National Physical Laboratory's (NPL) latest research in photonics could open doors to new quantum technologies and telecoms systems. Researchers from the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) have revealed unusual qualities in light that could lead the way... Read more

The House of Commons (HoC) Science and Technology Select Committee has released its Report on Quantum Technologies. The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) submitted written evidence to this committee and Dr Peter Thompson, NPL’s Chief Executive Officer, was called as a... Read more

16 November 2018, Paris, France: Today, in a landmark decision, representatives from 60 countries voted to redefine the International System of Units (SI), changing the world's definition of the kilogram, the ampere, the kelvin and the mole, for ever. The... Read more
