Quantum Technologies

Things get weird here.

Convert two decades of national quantum research investment into British companies and customers

The answer

Convert two decades of national quantum research investment into British companies and customers.

  • Quantum sensing, computing and communications carry defence, health and infrastructure implications.
  • First customers, not first prototypes, decide who leads.
  • Early acquisition of British quantum companies would transfer the return abroad.

Why BritainOne of the earliest national quantum technology programmes in the world.Four established quantum research hubs with industrial partners.Photonics and cryogenics supply chain capability.

What Britain already has

Research base

  • University of Oxford
  • University of Birmingham
  • University of Glasgow
  • University of Bristol

Infrastructure recorded

  • Fabrication and cleanroom access
  • Cryogenic facilities
  • Testbeds with real operating environments
  • Compute for simulation

What Britain is genuinely good at

  • National Quantum Computing Centre
  • Quantum hubs at Oxford, Birmingham, Glasgow and York
  • Bristol's quantum engineering base

What we’re less certain about

  • Patient capital between prototype and deployment
  • Fabrication access for small companies
  • Specialist engineering talent

These are open questions UKIZ holds against this campus, not weaknesses we have proven.

What UKIZ holds on UK quantum technologies

Reading the live record set.

The digital campus

Quantum Technologies in Britain, as it stands today.

Britain built an early, sustained national quantum programme. The mission is to ensure the resulting companies, supply chain and customers are British rather than acquired early.

Every line below is a record with a date. Where UKIZ holds nothing, it says so rather than filling the space.

Sources and freshness

Every line above carries where it came from.

Records come from published sources: filings, university and Catapult pages, government announcements and organisation-supplied information, each marked as such. Inferred facts are labelled inferred.
