Quantum Technologies:
A £1Bn Industry for the UK
Richard Murray [email protected] Technologist -­‐ Emerging technologies and industries Quantum Technologies: a £1Bn industry for the UK? Quantum Technologies: a £1Bn industry for the UK? What are quantum technologies? Conven&onal quantum devices are everywhere! Transistors Lasers There are two quantum proper&es that are not exploited in current devices: Superposi&on Entanglement •  ‘Being in two states at once’ •  ‘Spooky ac&on at a distance’ • Superposi&on states are very sensi&ve to external environment e.g. Gravity •  They can make very accurate sensors •  Entangled states connect pairs of par&cles, over large distances •  They can make very secure communica&on networks What are the uses of quantum?

Ongoing acJvity to clarify and connect quantum landscape What are we planning to do next? SupporJng innovaJon Innovate UK and EPSRC have a significant budget to support innovaJon over the next 4 years Innovate UK EPSRC 2015/16 £2M 2016/17 £5M 2017/18 £10M 2018/19 £15M 2019+ £3M £5M £5M £5M ? ? Innovate UK Targets Link great research with skills and capabili&es from industry Develop Components Link up the supply chain and develop end user engagement SupporJng innovaJon Future compeJJons will look to: •  Develop the supply chain for quantum technologies using longer and larger projects •  Engage with new companies using a series of smaller, short and more focused compeJJons •  ConJnue to encourage networking and collabora&on between industry and academia •  Connect with new poten&al end users, public or private SupporJng innovaJon •  Next compeJJon is expected to be announced Sept 2015 •  In the meanJme: •  talk to us about how you think we could help, •  get involved with the community and •  watch this space!
