The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology has begun a consultation following on from Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt’s £2.5bn funding for quantum technologies.
The National quantum strategy sets out the UK’s vision to become a world-leading quantum-enabled economy by 2033, and in its introduction, Michelle Donelan, secretary of state for science, innovation and technology, said: “The 10-year plan will fund new frontiers of quantum research, support and develop our growing quantum sector, prepare our wider economy for the quantum revolution and ensure the UK leads internationally in the regulation and ethical use of quantum technologies.
