UK framework for quantum standards unveiled
The new £10mln Quantum Standards Network will oversee everything from the the ultra-narrow lasers needed to control qubits, to the size, weight and energy-efficiency requirements of quantum sensors.
It will be hosted by the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and will bring together government, industry, and academia to engage with UK companies – ensuring their products are developed to internationally recognised standards.
This follows the government’s £2bln investment into quantum announced earlier this year, which includes £1.2bln towards the procurement of large-scale quantum computers.
