Recent initiatives, including £100m for new quantum research hubs and funding for five Quantum Centres for Doctoral Training, which will train over 300 PhDs in the next four years, highlight the government’s dedication to advancing quantum leadership and ensuring the UK remains at the forefront of this rapidly evolving field.

As a central part of the UK’s ten-year quantum programme, the Centre will play a central role in building the UK’s quantum ecosystem by supporting the development of quantum hardware, software, and applications. It is supported through an initial £93 million UKRI investment, delivered through the UKRI Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC). UKRI has also invested a further £50 million, including through the Technology Missions Fund.
