High fidelity, modular and scalable receiver modules are recognised as the enabling technology for entanglement distribution, which is essential for quantum key distribution, scalable quantum computing and the transmission of quantum states in the quantum internet. To address this need, SEQOND will develop and demonstrate a novel approach for quantum rece...

HARLEQUIN (High Accuracy Robust deployabLE Quantum Inertial Navigaton) is a quantum-classical hybrid inertial navigation demonstrator for use on maritime platforms. In this project, field trials of the system will be conducted on board a vessel operated by the UK's General Lighthouse Authority. Using data gathered from the trial, a programme of system upg...

Encryption is crucial in modern life for securing information and ensuring safe communication across digital platforms. Quantum encryption offers unprecedented security by leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics to create unbreakable encryption keys, making it essential for future-proofing data protection. However, the realisation of mature quantum...

Our project, Nonlinear Upconversion Technique for Monitoring Environmental Gases (NUTMEG), will develop, construct and test a portable greenhouse-gas sensor for environmental monitoring applications. We will demonstrate a platform approach targeting CO2, Methane, NOx and Ammonia monitoring. Our innovative approach uses laser upconversion in nonlinear (PPL...

Quantum technologies are a vital component of the industrial strategy in the UK and Canada, with the potential to revolutionize the digital world, expand the capabilities of current imaging devices, and facilitate the development of new drugs using quantum computing to solve complex calculations. Collaborations between UK and Canadian high-tech industries...

Reducing human contributions to global warming and the journey to net-zero is a major problem for society to tackle. Technology developments will be a large part of the process to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The simplest way to reduce is emissions is to reduce gas leaks, requiring very sensitive leak detection equipment. Natural gas (largely consisti...

Highly accurate atomic clocks have a broad and expanding range of vital applications and are used in many aspects of our daily lives. One well-known example is the GPS navigation system which depends on sub-microsecond accurate timing to provide both position and timing information. This information is used in communications systems, telecoms, finance and...

One of the largest outstanding challenges faced by photonic quantum computing is how to scale these systems based on existing single photon sources. Single photons are natural carriers of quantum information. They are robust to thermal noise, can be used at room-temperature and sent over optical fibre networks. This makes them particularly suitable for ge...

The HiREP project aims to develop a high-rate polarisation-entangled photon-pair source based on a new nonlinear optical crystal platform recently developed by Covesion Ltd.

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 ...

Quantum technology systems are currently held back by the lack of qualified, commercial off the shelf sub-systems and components to translate new ideas and system designs (for gravitometers, optical clocks etc) quickly into reality. In most cases the underlying enabling technology needs to be developed which adds risk to these projects.In this project the...
