**"Quantum Testbed Advancements through 2D Trapping Architectures" (Q-TATA)** solves a barrier to scaling quantum computers: the qubit routing challenge. Existing Quantum Computers (QCs) become slower and more prone to errors as they scale due to limited ability to efficiently move information around the processors. Solving this challenge is a key enabler...

Our modern daily lives rely heavily on digital networks, connecting users, computers and sensors across the world. The ability to process vast amounts of data and communicate instantly on a global scale has transformed both our society and economy. Recent advances in quantum science have uncovered remarkable new opportunities, that could lead to the devel...

The SANTANA project is dedicated to creating a portable optoelectronics module designed to meet the stringent demands of next-generation optical atomic clocks, which offer superior performance compared to microwave atomic clocks but are currently limited to laboratory use due to their Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) requirements and stability issues. The p...

High fidelity, modular and scalable receiver modules are recognised as the enabling technology for entangled based quantum key distribution, which is essential for distributed quantum computing and the transmission of quantum states in quantum internet. To address this need, the MARCONI project will develop and demonstrate two new OEM quantum key distribu...

Multiplexing and switching are staple techniques of the telecoms industry, allowing information to be carried simultaneously across time, frequency and spatial channels and therefore unlocking the ultra-high data speeds that we have all grown to rely upon. Multiplexing and switching also have a role to play when designing a network to connect quantum comp...

Quantum technologies are poised to revolutionize our society. At the core of this new scientific and technological revolution, there is entanglement one of the most peculiar phenomena in quantum physics. The ability to generate, manipulate and distribute entangled particles is a prerequisite to enable transformative scientific and industrial progress. Thi...

We propose an intense training course to reskill professionals in the growing Photonics Integrated Circuit (PIC) technology sector. Three companies and two universities have teamed up to develop a hands-on course covering the entire PIC creation process, including design, fabrication, testing, and packaging, using industry tools and standards. The course ...

The Photonic Integrated Circuit Packaging ACademy (PICPAC) project shall create and deliver course content and materials on packaging necessary to enable the rapidly growing field of photonics within the semiconductor sector. Semiconductor based photonics devices are critical in enabling telecommunications, datacomms, imaging, and quantum technologies (e....

Skills shortages across the semiconductor industry present challenges to the UK semiconductor industry in myriad ways, ranging from hindering expansion, through reducing competitiveness, to discouraging funding for innovative startups. Although semiconductor theory is covered in most UK Electronic Engineering (EE) or Physics degree courses, most graduates...

**Quantum technologies (QT)** are transforming our economy and education. Slowly but steadily delivering novel capabilities to secure communications, measure undetectable signals, and in a not-so-far future, revolutionise computing. Light plays a pivotal role as a carrier for quantum signals and as the interface between the new quantum hardware and the av...

QPods is a dedicated mechanically and thermally stable optoelectronics module to drive magneto-optical traps (MOT) used in several UK Quantum projects. The QPods project will considerably reduce the SWAPC by holistically integrating all the essential components into a single ruggedised package. Existing systems are based on laboratory-grade components (of...

For the UK to reach a zero-carbon economy, the measurement, regulation, and enforcement of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions needs to rapidly expand. Natural gas (primarily CH4 methane) remains the dominant fossil fuel and industrial leaks are a leading source of GHGs. Currently there are a lack of surveying methods and equipment for the European Union's (...
