Graphene and 2D materials (2DM) have proven superior optoelectronic properties and performance in a plethora of applications with respect to conventional materials. Despite that, specific integration and processing challenges are impeding the industrial uptake of 2DM. In particular, the wafer-scale integration of high-quality and defect free 2DM layers, w...

QT Assemble brings together a consortium of UK companies to develop highly-innovative assembly and integration processes for new markets in quantum technologies. Waveguide writing, nanoscale alignment and monolithic integration will be used to deliver new levels of performance in robust and reliable platforms. High-performance components and systems will ...

A number of unique and disruptive quantum based technologies are emerging from the UK Quantum Technologies (QT) Programme hubs. The applications for these devices span a diverse range of sectors making it difficult to clearly definine product roadmaps and it is difficult for large companies wishing to commercialise QT to see where a start-up, spin out, SM...

The presence of sinkholes, mineshafts and other buried objects under construction sites is a huge problem in civil engineering. These underground openings are a risk to the health and safety of people working on the site. They are also a risk after construction work has been completed as they can move and increase in size over time and may open up causing...

New developments in quantum technology have resulted in the ability to cool atoms close to absolute zero using lasers. At these temperatures, laboratory experiments have shown that these “cold atoms” can be used as ultra-sensitive sensors for measuring gravity. CASPA will translate leading UK science into commercial products for space and other markets. I...

Quantum technology is usually seen as an academic science that sits in big experiments such as the Large Hadron Collider, but it is now coming much closer to home and within a couple of years will affect the life of man in the street. We all tire of roadworks and get frustrated when they cut through our phone lines or water supply. Quantum technology can ...

This project aims to develop a new device that will change the way ophthalmic healthcare is delivered to people in the developing and developed world. It is a partnership that brings together the best technology in the U.K and fuses it with the best software and medical expertise in India to produce a world class collaboration. This collaborative research...

Following the Nobel Prize winning discovery that lasers can cool atoms to extremely low temperatures, where they can occupy a single quantum state, there has been a lot of research into potential applications. Laboratory experiments with cold atoms have shown a 1000 times improvement in inertial navigation accuracy and a 1000 times improvement in timing o...

The consortium will develop and demonstrate an innovative, compact, low cost and eye-safe active laser-illuminated imaging sensor, capable of long-range operation. The active imaging application presents a significant technological challenge; hence the consortium brings together key technical expertise in photonics, material science, mass manufacturing an...

Overview of project As fibre optic devices increase in sophistication, there is an increasing demand for better polarisation control and polarisation maintaining components. In many cases, polarisation control optimises performance, e.g. interferometric techniques such as optical coherence tomography (OCT). For many current applications, the existing PM c...
