A Vision for Quantum Technologies in the UK

The UK’s Institute of Physics (IOP) published this report in support of a UK quantum strategy.

The report gives 10 recommendations on how to ensure UK quantum sector growth. The recommendations revolve around the elaboration of roadmaps for the commercialisation of quantum goods and services; the development of a supporting ecosystem and the capacity for scale; the creation of a strong skills base to support quantum industries; and wider enablers including partnerships and communications.

According to the IOP, a UK quantum strategy needs to outline forms of support for each stage of the journey towards commercialised quantum-based products and services, through the provision of direct and indirect support, coordination and planning, and aligned policies addressing skills and other enabling factors.
