  1. Quantum Technology Landscape Bob Cockshott 20th September 2014

  2. The Knowledge Transfer Network Making the connections Linking people who would not otherwise meet Dedicated Quantum Special Interest Group

  3. 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

  4. £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

  5. Why now? UK science is ready to exploit Opportunity for UK industry and economic growth Supporting technology Quantum-enabled products Better performance Reduce reliance on vulnerable sat nav Improved services (e.g. mineral prospecting) If we don’t do it, somebody else will!

  6. Applications Low cost low power miniature clocks (CSACs) Available now, better performance and UK capability needed Timing hold-over, better timing without GPS Better performance from sat nav receivers Better clocks 1 part in 1016 equivalent to 1m from gravitational red shift Can map gravity and gravity gradient

  7. Applications Gravity Detect subterranean voids, mineral and oil prospecting Detect local dense materials (e.g. plutonium, ~20 g/cc) Create gravity maps for navigation Nothing in physics allows shielding, jamming or spoofing

  8. Applications Medical sensors More sensitive magnetic and electric field sensors Cold atom accelerometers 1m per day drift rate ‘Quantum compass’ for navigation Things we haven’t yet thought of… 10 years ago we didn’t know we needed Facebook

  9. 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

  10. Longer term Quantum computing Quantum simulation

  11. Quantum Special Interest Group A facility to join up the community, free and open to all Currently ~110 members and growing News postings Document library Networking events Forum to exchange information Coming soon… Capability directory Newsletter emails
