Details

UK universities have seen some groundbreaking work in the field of quantum physics over the last 20 years.

These new technologies are now ready to be turned into new products and services that could have a profound effect on the way we live our lives and encourage significant economic growth for the UK.

Quantum science is expected to have a major impact on sectors including:

  • finance
  • defence
  • aerospace
  • energy
  • telecommunications.

It could lead to more secure digital communication, more efficient ways of delivering construction projects and new and more powerful computers able to solve complex problems.

This roadmap helps businesses to understand where new opportunities in quantum technologies overlap with their interests and helps them to understand how these opportunities could encourage their growth.
