Demonstrating impact
- Space-based quantum security (PDF, 400KB)
Miniature satellites developed in the UK are promising to provide ultra-secure communications using quantum technology: tapping out secret keys encoded in single photons sent down from orbit. - Quantum brain scanner (PDF, 400KB)
A new scanner based on quantum sensors can detect the magnetic fields generated when neurons fire. It will give doctors a new view of the brain at work, to aid treatment of disorders including epilepsy and dementia. - Quantum security in your pocket (PDF, 395KB)
A handy prototype device promises unhackable personal security for banking and shopping. - Quantum computing with diamonds (PDF, 395KB)
By using lasers to create precisely engineered crystal defects, a group at the universities of Oxford and Warwick is learning to turn diamonds into the building blocks of a quantum computer. - Networked quantum computing (PDF, 399KB)
A UK collaboration is using light to link small quantum processors, an ion-based approach that could lead to large, powerful quantum computers. - Gravity sensors see underground (PDF, 402KB)
A UK collaboration is learning to see deep underground, using quantum technology to detect minuscule variations in the force of gravity. Among other things this could make roadworks faster and more efficient by revealing pipes and hidden hazards. - Look around corners with the quantum periscope (PDF, 961KB)
A quantum camera being developed in the UK can see objects hidden behind walls or other barriers. It could be used to aid rescuers and improve the safety of self-driving cars. - Delivering the National Strategy for Quantum Technologies (PDF, 450KB)
This brochure provides information on the range of investments being made by the partners of the National Quantum Technologies Programme to deliver the National Strategy for Quantum Technologies. It also includes case studies to demonstrate the impact of some of these investments. - Enabling a strong foundation of capability in quantum technologies (PDF, 1.8MB)
