Quantum

Quantum technologies harness the laws of quantum mechanics to perform tasks and solve problems that are far too complex for standard computers.

Quantum computing will revolutionise industry by exponentially increasing computational power, enabling breakthroughs in cryptography, drug discovery and materials science. 

Quantum technologies will allow data to be encrypted and decrypted in new ways, enabling extremely secure communications that are safeguarded against cyber threats.  

Quantum sensing and imaging technologies provide unprecedented levels of precision in measurement and imaging, with applications ranging from medical diagnostics to environmental monitoring and defence. 

Compound semiconductors are being used to build more accurate quantum hardware and repeaters. This will enable and enhance the transmission of quantum signals over the telecoms network. 

Compound semiconductors such as gallium arsenide (GaAs), indium phosphide (InP) and gallium nitride (GaN) have excellent electron mobility and optical properties, making them well-suited for a range of quantum applications.
