Spin-Out Technologies

Taking technology to the commercialisation stage
As well as developing the Q20:20 quantum computer demonstrator, we will deliver spin-off technologies from the work, including technologies that may be useful to the work of other Quantum Technology Hubs.

These include a heralded single photon source, a low-loss photonic interconnect, a truly random number generator and quantum sensors based on magnetometry.

Quantum Random Number Generator

We have developed a quantum random number generator that will provide billions of truly random numbers every second by making measurements on light.

Quantum Sensors

We are working on two types of sensors: magnetic field sensors using defects in diamond and chemical and particle sensors using optical microcavities.
