Here's a batch of fresh news and announcements from across Imperial.
From Imperial researchers collaborating on a new set of Quantum Hubs, to how universities play a crucial role in the UK's research and development ecosystem, here is some quick-read news from across Imperial.
Quantum funding boost
Imperial is involved in several new Quantum Hubs announced today with £106m funding from the UKRI Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
In partnership with businesses, the Hubs aim to develop practical uses of quantum technology that will directly impact people's lives, in areas including healthcare, security, and clean energy.
Imperial quantum researchers will collaborate with three of the Hubs:
- The UK Quantum Technology Hub in Sensing, Imaging and Timing (QuSIT - led by the University of Birmingham) focuses on the development of quantum sensing for practical applications. Imperial researchers have created quantum technologies for cancer diagnostics, optical data communications and data storage.
- The UK Hub for Quantum Enabled Position, Navigation and Timing (QePNT - led by the University of Glasgow) creates quantum-based positioning and navigation systems. Imperial researchers have developed technologies for GPS-free navigation and satellite-based systems.
- The Hub for Quantum Computing via Integrated and Interconnected Implementations (QCI3 - led by the University of Oxford) develops technologies for building quantum computers. Imperial researchers have experience in this area ranging from fundamental research and applications to spinout companies and security and defence.
