A roadmap for quantum metrology.

J.L. Flowers

Published Mar 1, 2005• 0 citations

Abstract

This document presents a number of roadmaps for key metrology areas. These were developed within the Quantum Programme of the UK Department of Trade and Industry National Measurement System Policy Unit. We describe how these roadmaps were produced and discuss how the process can be carried forward to produce an international roadmap for quantum metrology.

Test and evaluation in support of quantum technology development in the UK

R. Dandridge, E. A. Curtis, Ateeq Nasir

This paper will be of interest to those planning to leverage the quantum industry to solve challenges in their sectors, and are looking for insight into the next stages of development of the burgeoning UK quantum industry. In order to address the current and future research needs for test and evaluation of quantum technologies, the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is currently: 1. Developing (adaptable) roadmaps. 2. Identifying common test and evaluation needs across sectors. 3. Addressing the need for independent testing. 4. Developing standards and regulations for quantum testing and evaluation needs. 5. Exploring the skills and knowledge necessary for quantum testing and evaluation research and facility resourcing.

EURAMET EMN-Q: The European metrology network for quantum technologies

Ivo Pietro Degiovanni, Marco Gramegna, S. Bize +2 more

The second quantum revolution is underway and the deployment of Quantum Technologies (QT) keeps pace with it. This technological paradigm-switch creates opportunities and challenges for industry, innovation and society. Several large companies, as well as start-ups, have started to develop and engineer quantum devices or begun to integrate them into their products: the commercial success of QT, together with progress in research and development, relies on certification and reliability built upon internationally agreed standards and metrological traceability. A group of European National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) and Delegated Institutes (DIs) have recently created a European Metrology Network for Quantum Technologies (EMN-Q) under the auspices of EURAMET. The objective of the EMN-Q is to co-ordinate the activities of the European NMIs and Dis to ensure their efficient support for European competitiveness in quantum technologies. A special focus of the EMN-Q will be to develop new measurement capabilities and dedicated services to serve the rapidly-growing needs of industry and research institutions in this field. Industry, governmental agencies, academic sectors or any other type of stakeholder are welcome to contact the EMN-Q and discuss their metrology needs. These can relate not only to quantum characteristics of quantum devices, but also to metrology of key enabling technologies, metrology that can improve the supply chain of industrial quantum devices or other industrial needs connected with quantum technologies. EMN-Q aims to become is to become the central contact point to stakeholders interested in metrology for quantum technologies by: • contributing to standardisation & certification of quantum technologies; • promoting the take-up of metrology in the development of these technologies; • supporting industrial needs in synergy with the technological objectives of the EC Quantum Flagship and national quantum technology programs; and • promoting the use of quantum measurement techniques where advantageous for “classical” technical areas. We are in process of structuring and developing the communication services of the EMN-Q. One of the key aspect in this EMN-Q development is the establishment the EMN-Q Strategic Research Agenda (SRA). The SRA will contain the technological roadmaps that are created by the EMN-Q members in consultation with the EMN-Q Stakeholder Community. In this paper, we will provide a short overview of the EMN-Q organization, and of the SRA and the relative Technological Roadmaps.

NPL Quantum Programme: Bridging the Gap Between Scientific Discovery and Quantum Products and Services

Tim R. Prior

Quantum technologies are based on the properties of atoms, electrons and photons. Quantum physics describes the behaviour of these fundamental units which can behave either like waves or like particles, resulting in many extraordinary properties. They can provide unchanging standards to use for measurement and their 'quantum' behaviour can potentially create a completely new class of advanced environmental sensors and systems, with radically new capabilities for timing and navigation, secure communications, driverless cars, computing and other critical applications. NPL has initiated a wide-ranging programme, based on its applied metrology expertise, which focuses on the many ways in which NPL, as the UK’s National Metrology Institute, can contribute to the development of quantum technologies into usable products and services. Through its new programme, NPL will lead on the creation of a comprehensive capability to test and evaluate prototypes and new products, which are based on quantum technologies. The programme will involve establishing new measurement methods and protocols which will contribute to new international standards, in collaboration with partners around the world. This talk will outline the key elements of the programme and how it fits within the UK’s National Quantum Technologies Programme (NQTP), as well as some key initial projects.
