Performance Magnetic Shielding For Commercial Quantum Technologies

1 Nov 2021 to 31 Jul 2023

Awarded
£75,270
Total cost £125,450

There is a global race to build the world's first practical quantum computers. One of the many challenges in building a quantum computer (as well as other quantum technologies including sensors) is shielding the superconducting circuits from ambient magnetic fields. Currently solutions create a large volume and weight of fixed magnetic shields that takes ...

2020 Collaborative R&D

Quantum sensors for end-of-line battery testing

1 Aug 2020 to 31 Oct 2023

Awarded
£698,075
Total cost £1,163,458

_It is anticipated that 50% of vehicle production will be wholly or partially electric by 2030\. This project aims to commercialise known quantum technology to address identified challenges in the manufacture of batteries and lithium cells. Quantum technology enables highly sensitive measurements of magnetic fields. This project will use these magnetic me...

2019 Collaborative R&D Lead participant

Lightweight and compact, high performance magnetically shielded rooms for biomagnetic measurements - LightMuRoom

1 Mar 2019 to 31 Jan 2021

Awarded
£400,016
Total cost £666,693

"Optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs) are emerging quantum sensors with the potential to revolutionise biomagnetic measurements of the brain (magnetoencephalography-MEG) and heart (magnetocardiography-MCG). These are important tools used to improve understanding, diagnosis and treatment of neurological, psychiatric and cardiological (including foetal car...

2018 Collaborative R&D

Pioneer Gravity: Gravity sensors for infrastructure productivity, situational awareness and seeing the invisible

1 Nov 2018 to 31 Dec 2021

Awarded
£159,332
Total cost £265,553

"Despite our increasing ability to detect and monitor objects that exist on land, sea, around buildings or in space, our ability to detect objects beneath the ground has not improved significantly. When it comes to attempting to locate a buried and forgotten pipe, telling the extent of a sink hole or assessing the quality of infrastructure we still often ...

2018 Collaborative R&D

MCLAREN: Miniaturised Cold Atom Gravimeter for Space Applications

1 Apr 2018 to 31 Mar 2019

Awarded
£105,199
Total cost £150,284

The project aims to develop a compact cold atom gravimeter and identify routes to development for a space-deployable system. Space-based high precision gravimetry as offered by cold atom approaches is an emerging key enabling technology for a range of markets dependent on Earth observation. Furthermore gravimetry has a broad number of terrestrial applicat...

2017 Feasibility Studies Lead participant

Compact lightweight high performance magnetic shielding enabling portable & miniaturised quantum technology systems - "QT-Shield"

1 Mar 2017 to 31 May 2018

Awarded
£217,489
Total cost £310,699

Magnetic shielding is an essential component of all second generation quantum technology systems necessary to eliminate magnetic interference and enable quantum behaviour to be observed. A particular challenge for quantum systems is shielding of low frequency and DC magnetic fields. Existing magnetic shielding is bulky and heavy creating barriers to the r...
