News Quantum imaging hub to build on success with £28m funding T


he UK quantum enhanced imaging hub, Quantic, has secured £28m from the UK’s


Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). Te University of Glasgow-led


research hub will be funded for five more years, as part of £94m pledged in support of the UK National Quantum Technologies Programme. Since it was established in 2014


as one of four quantum hubs supported by £270m in funding from the UK government, Quantic has developed ways of sensing and imaging with quantum technology. Quantic brings together the


universities of Glasgow, Bristol, Edinburgh, Exeter, Heriot-Watt, Imperial College, Strathclyde and Southampton with industrial partners from across the UK. Te hub’s major research


successes to date includes the development of QuantiCam, a digital camera that captures photons 10,000 times faster than conventional cameras, and cameras capable of sensing around corners and seeing through smoke. A portable gravity imager has


also attracted industrial interest for use in space, civil engineering and environmental monitoring. Quantic has also incubated three


spinout companies: QLM, which has developed a drone-mounted quantum sensing solution capable of remotely detecting and quantifying minute methane leaks; Raycal, which provides consulting services in the quantum technology sector, with a special focus on imaging and metrology; and Sequestim, which aims to commercialise the next generation of terahertz imaging technology for security screening applications. Over the next five years, Quantic


will work on single-photon cameras, detectors based on new materials, and single-photon sensitivity in the mid-infrared. Professor Steve Beaumont,

director of Quantic, said: ‘We’ve had an enormously successful first five years, making significant technological breakthroughs and forging 39 project partnerships with industry across the UK. We’ve also worked hard to encourage the next generation of pioneering


quantum engineers, investing more than £500,000 in 12 industry-led studentships.’ In 2014 it had 30 industrial


partners and now engages with more than 70, noted Professor Miles Padgett, Quantic’s principal investigator. He said: ‘It shows that


there is huge commercial potential for the kind of quantum-enhanced technologies we’re working on. We’re delighted we’ve received the funding we need to continue helping the UK keep its place on the world stage in cutting-edge research and development.’
