Quantum Technologies
The University of Glasgow is home to the Centre of Quantum Technologies and plays leading roles in both the UK Hub for Quantum Enabled Position, Navigation and Timing (QEPNT) and the UK Quantum Technology Hub in Sensing, Imaging and Timing (QuSIT).
The University has the second largest portfolio of UK grant funding in the field of quantum science, bringing together nearly 100 researchers across a range disciplines, from the Schools of Physics and Astronomy, Engineering, Computing Science and Chemistry. Specific areas of excellence in quantum science include quantum theory, quantum imaging and sensing, superconducting technology for quantum computing and sensing, and applications of quantum technology to healthcare, bio-imaging and microscopy.
Glasgow recently launched the Scottish Funding Council Alliance Research Challenge in Quantum Technologies that expands the collaborations to social scientists and artists. This SFC ARC complements another Glasgow-led scheme, ARC for Brain health, providing a uniquely cross-disciplinary environment, driven by early career researchers.
The University also hosts the SPIE Global early career researchers programme that provides funding for early career research exchanges with international research institutes.
