The project isa collaborative effort between Alter Technology, Wave Photonics, KETS quantum security, Senko Advanced Components, the University of Bristol and the University of Sheffield. The team will cre...

By 2035, the UK aims to have deployed the world's most advanced quantum network at scale, pioneering the future quantum internet. A key success factor for the UK's ambition of the Quantum Networking Mission will be availability of Entangled Photon Sources (EPS) with sufficiently high entangled photon pair generation rates initially to support research and...

Modern infrastructure is increasingly dependent on highly accurate timing. This ranges across navigation systems on multiple platforms, the delivery of power around the national grid, timestamping of financial transactions though MiFID II regulations to name but a few. The demand for highly accurate timekeeping across ever larger systems is growing with t...

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...

Lightricity has developed and commercialised world leading efficiency photovoltaic (PV) technology which is up to 6x better at harvesting energy than commercially available silicon-based PV. This renewable energy source can enable the IoT to overcome the barriers of battery-related waste and maintenance costs thus enabling it to be more scalable and susta...

Future Telecommunication Satellites require high-throughput communications of signals over many channels. After incoming signals are processed by on-board processors the data needs to be transported around the satellite for redistribution and transmission by downlinking, which requires high-capacity multichannel Optical Transceivers (OTRx). In order to im...

This project proposes development of a compact atomic clock based on coherent population trapping (CPT) and thermal atoms. A modular, robust system will be developed that is designed for scalable manufacturing and establishes a sovereign supply chain for GNSS-denied navigation. The project unites established technology for compact form factor lasers, elec...

SOURCE is a feasibility study and proof-of-concept for the potential scale up of an open access, system in package, advanced packaging platform in the UK. The platform targets heterogeneous integration of multiple semiconductor chip types within the same encapsulated package, achieving reduced size and weight while enabling increased device functionality ...

Cold atom-based quantum sensors and clocks will revolutionise many applications such as Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) technologies by increasing the resilience against attacks/outages and improving Space Situational Awareness (SSA) -- critical to protecting and future-proofing national security, financial and technological infrastructure and capab...

Cold atom-based quantum technologies have great potential because of the versatility of this platform. Cold atoms can be used in a variety of high-performance sensors, including optical clocks, inertial sensors, gravimeters, and magnetometers just to name a few. They rely on stable lasers with stringent requirements on their optical frequency. Recently, t...

This is a feasibility project concerned with developing the next generation GaN laser sources for quantum applications. The GaN laser devices will be co-packaged with passive waveguide structures to provide single frequency operation or other functionality such as wavelength referencing ands locking. The consortium consists of Kelvin Nanotechnology, TGQT,...

Quantum Computers have the potential to offer a huge range of benefits. By increasing processing power exponentially, they will unlock new, exciting capabilities and improve our current capacity considerably. This does however put at risk technologies which have long relied on computational expense for their function. An example of this is encryption, whi...
