2025 Collaborative R&D

QAPTCHA - Quantum Atom-based Positioning for Train Control with a Hybrid Accelerometer

1 Apr 2025 to 31 Mar 2027

Awarded
£22,499
Total cost £37,498

Quantum sensing technologies offer levels of measurement precision, accuracy, and stability that exceed those offered by classical (or non-quantum) approaches. An area where this performance enhancement shows great potential is in positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) systems. An important subcategory of PNT systems are ones based on inertial navigatio...

2023 Investment Accelerator Lead participant

Innovation Accelerator in Neutral Atom Quantum Optimisation

1 Apr 2023 to 31 Mar 2025

Awarded
£244,740
Total cost £407,900

Quantum computing is considered a strategic technology by world leading economies. It will offer a completely new approach to information processing with significant societal, economic, and industrial gains projected. Accelerating economic and commercial gains requires addressing the gap between technology readiness to commercial interest. To de-risk comm...

2022 Collaborative R&D

Grating-based lattice optical clock (G-BLOC)

1 Nov 2022 to 30 Apr 2024

Awarded
£35,930
Total cost £59,884

Precision timing is key to all aspects of modern infrastructure, from the national grid, to telecommunications, to financial trading, through to global, national, and individual navigation systems. When we switch on our smartphones or satellite navigation systems, we are unconsciously using networked oscillators utilising the performance of current commer...

2022 Collaborative R&D

ORSAM – Optical Reference Systems via Additive Manufacturing

1 Oct 2022 to 31 Mar 2024

Awarded
£59,786
Total cost £99,644

ORSAM seeks to address the critical national infrastructure challenge of delivering cost effective, resilient, distributed timing within the telecommunications core and mobile access networks that we all depend on to deliver the emergency service network, data centre access and interconnect, Industrial IoT, financial transactions and nearly all other form...

2022 Collaborative R&D

GRADUATE

1 Oct 2022 to 31 Mar 2024

Awarded
£44,878
Total cost £74,797

Quantum enabled Gravity Gradiometry, the measurement of the rate of spatial change of the earth's gravity field, offers significant performance improvements over conventional gravimetry including much better signal to noise ratios (by cancelling out vibrations) and a method better suited to producing geodesy -- gravity maps. The GRADUATE project (gravity ...

2021 Collaborative R&D Lead participant

PHASE-ZERO

1 Nov 2021 to 31 Jul 2022

Awarded
£101,960
Total cost £169,934

Accurate timing knowledge has a variety of compelling use cases in the context of security and defence applications as well as in the wider economy. Improved access to clocks and reliable, accurate timing references have wide applicability across a number of systems and processes such as the urgent demand for clocks for the financial sector. The developme...

2021 Feasibility Studies Lead participant

ACCOLADE: ACcelerometry with COLd Atoms in Dynamic Environments

1 Aug 2021 to 31 Jan 2023

Awarded
£150,079
Total cost £250,132

Navigation has been at the heart of the UK's prosperity and international standing for centuries and this is closely tied to the nation's historic innovations in the science and engineering of navigation technologies. The strategic roadmaps associated with the UK National Quantum Programme have identified navigation as an area with the potential to benefi...

2021 Feasibility Studies Lead participant

Robotics for Resilient Environmental Gravimetric Surveying

1 Apr 2021 to 31 Mar 2022

Awarded
£58,921
Total cost £98,202

Gravity surveys of construction sites are often legally mandated to check for features such as historically significant remains or uncharted utilities. However conducting these surveys is a role where the construction sector lacks resilience. This task is monotonous, but still reliant on a skilled job role where there are significant labour shortages. In ...

2021 Responsive Strategy and Planning Lead participant

Diamond NV Sensors for Quantum-Limited Magnetic Field Measurements

1 Mar 2021 to 29 Feb 2024

Awarded
£47,754
Total cost £79,590

In this proposal we propose to design, build and demonstrate a quantum magnetometer, with the ability to measure extremely weak magnetic fields such as those within the human body or local fluctuations in the earth's magnetic field. This industrial research project brings together a complementary consortium of industrial and research partners in the UK an...

2020 CR&D Bilateral Lead participant

DISCOVERY: Developing UK Industrial Supply for Commercial Quantum Computing

1 Aug 2020 to 31 Jul 2023

Awarded
£2,136,076
Total cost £3,560,126

The UK has world leading capability in scalable, high fidelity qubit generation for quantum computing, with two particularly compelling approaches being neutral atoms and ion microtraps. These technologies, however, remain at low TRL because a viable commercialisation approach requires the provision of test beds available to the UK community, and test bed...
