Supercluster/Critical technologies/Quantum

Quantum

Quantum technologies encompass a range of emerging technologies at the atomic scale, based around the principles of quantum mechanics.

These technologies are set to revolutionise communications, security, computing, sensing and imaging.

Built on existing strengths across the critical technologies, Scotland has an ambition to create a billion-dollar quantum industry:

30 companies active in the development and application of quantum technologies.

2 of the 5 UK National Quantum Hubs are led from Scotland (Scottish institutions active in all 5).

World leading capabilities in quantum component/device development and manufacture.

Strengths in key commercial markets for quantum technologies e.g. space & defence, life sciences, financial services.

Dedicated support managed through the Glentanglement® initiative, managed by Technology Scotland.
