The UK stands at a pivotal moment in its journey to becoming global leader in quantum technology.
While considerable strides have been made, one foundational element still lags behind – quantum materials. These are the essential building blocks of the quantum future that can revolutionise sectors such as communications, computing, healthcare and security.
Without them the UK risks losing its competitive edge in one of the most transformative technology races of our time.
Quantum materials underpin the functionality, reliability and scalability of quantum devices. They are critical to moving from research to commercially viable quantum products. Without investment in this area, even the most promising quantum concepts may never make it out of the lab.
Recognising this challenge, a new quantum materials initiative aims to unlock the UK’s full potential by ensuring we don’t just lead in the labs but in market ready solutions….
