We welcome the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology's recent publication in response to the Regulatory Horizons Council (RHC) review of quantum technology applications. The paper highlights the importance of standards and regulations in boosting innovation in emerging technologies. We are working with various partners, particularly through the NPL-led Quantum Standards Network pilot, to enable the UK quantum industry to develop products with confidence, in turn boosting UK economic growth, creating high-skilled jobs and building a more secure and resilient UK. We look forward to continuing our work and collaborations as part of the National Quantum Technologies Programme to deliver the National Quantum Strategy, particularly in the run up to the International Year of Quantum in 2025. https://bit.ly/3zVslTi https://lnkd.in/e8VjiPhf National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC), National Cyber Security Centre, UKQuantum

Our M4Q programme helped Aquark Technologies design a compact cold atom trap for next generation quantum sensing and computing for use outside labs. They required rapid development for a low Technology Readiness Level (TRL) demonstrator to showcase its potential. NPL’s expertise in timing and atomic clocks guided Aquark in its prototype development, advising on design and operational challenges. Our support shortened Aquark’s research timeline by at least six months and enhanced the demonstrator’s credibility with potential partners and investors. The project’s success has established a solid foundation for Aquark’s targeted market entry into atomic clocks and formed the core of its business and investment strategy. The M4Q programme is designed to benefit UK quantum technology companies. By providing specialised metrology expertise and high-tech testing facilities, M4Q helps translate quantum concepts into practical products.

Metrology is the science of measuring things, and we suspect Mary Poppins, whilst practically perfect, wasn't going for precision in her methodology. We, however are quite interested in accuracy and it's something we're exploring at #STEF2024 with 'Precision and Innovation: The Role of Metrology in Advancing Medical Physics' Come along to this brilliant session on 10th October, from the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) highlighting the role metrology plays within Medical Physics and have a chat with members working the NPL to discuss challenges and solutions relating to accurate measurements within Data Science, Ultrasound, MRI, Radiotherapy and Nuclear Medicine. See you there? Get your ticket now for the Science Technology and Engineering Forum 9th - 10th October in Westminster, London for this and more great opportunities https://lnkd.in/eh8sHMah
