To celebrate this special International Year of Quantum, our Integrated Quantum Networks Hub researchers will be participating in the Royal Society’s Summer Science Exhibition in a specially installed Quantum Zone! Join us at the Royal Society in London (6-9 Carlton House Terrace, London SW1Y 5AG) between the 1st and 6th of July to find out […]
The Integrated Quantum Networks Hub is proud to be sponsoring the Quantum Cyber Security: From Quantum Networks to Quantum Computers workshop, part of the Quantum Fringe programme of events, co-organised by Hub partners Quantum Software Lab (University of Edinburgh) and the National Quantum Computing Centre. The workshop aims to bring together researchers exploring quantum computing […]
UK businesses invited to use world-class quantum facility to develop next-generation secure communications May 2nd, 2025 A cutting-edge £2.5 million facility that will help secure next-generation communications against cyber threats officially opened today at Heriot-Watt University’s Research Park in Edinburgh, Scotland. The Quantum Communications Hub Optical Ground Station (named HOGS) represents a significant leap forward […]
The Quantum Technology Hubs, part of the UK National Quantum Technologies Programme (NQTP), have been awarded a further £3M from EPSRC to develop a targeted quantum skills and training programme, helping to inspire and train the next generation of quantum experts. Skills constitute a key part of the UK’s national quantum strategy published in 2023, […]
The Integrated Quantum Networks Hub will address the challenges underpinning the establishment of a “quantum internet”, by developing the novel technologies, protocols and industry standards necessary for the deployment of a secure, scalable, quantum communications infrastructure for the UK and beyond. Led by Heriot-Watt University and supported by over £42M of EPSRC funding and industry […]
Researchers have successfully demonstrated the UK’s first long-distance ultra-secure transfer of data over a quantum communications network, including the UK’s first long-distance quantum-secured video call. The team, from the Universities of Bristol and Cambridge, created the network, which uses standard fibreoptic infrastructure, but relies on a variety of quantum phenomena to enable ultra-secure data transfer. The […]
