Quantum Technologies in the UK
World class science
Huge potential markets
Some technologies only 2 – 3 years from market
Accelerate exploitation to ensure the UK benefits
Develop thriving UK supply chain

£270m of new money over 5 years
4 Quantum Hubs to be established
£32m Innovate UK / Dstl / EPSRC programme launched
Funding is for exploitation and commercialisation

Why now?
UK science is ready to exploit
Opportunity for UK industry and economic growthSupporting technologyQuantum-enabled productsBetter performanceReduce reliance on vulnerable sat navImproved services (e.g. mineral prospecting)
If we don’t do it, somebody else will!

Applications
Low cost low power miniature clocks (CSACs)Available now, better performance and UK capability neededTiming hold-over, better timing without GPSBetter performance from sat nav receivers
Better clocks1 part in 1016 equivalent to 1m from gravitational red shiftCan map gravity and gravity gradient

When?
Quantum key distribution here now
Clocks here now
Gravity sensors are in university labs
UK chip scale clock in ~2 years
Density sensor in ~2 years
Accelerometers in 3 – 5 years
Supporting technology from now onwards
