UK National Quantum Technologies Showcase 2021

Game Changing science and technologies that will transform business and everyday lives In the UK, through strong collaboration between academia and industry, we are accelerating the development, industrialisation and adoption of quantum science and technologies in application areas such as sensing and metrology, computing and simulation, communication and imaging. There are some huge breakthroughs across automotive, healthcare, infrastructure, telecommunications, cybersecurity and defence. The UK alone counts for around half of the quantum businesses in Europe. Real-life projects are evolving such as miniature satellites being developed to provide ultra-secure communications using quantum technology, development of quantum-enabled gas sensors that detect industrial leaks and the creation of advanced receivers flagging to companies if the data they are transmitting has been accessed by others. More recently the newly launched National Quantum Computing Centre funded through UKRI has been established to work with business, government and the research community to accelerate the development of quantum computing by addressing the challenges of scalability.
