UK Quantum Technology Hub for Sensors and Metrology
Lead Research Organisation:
University of Birmingham
Department Name: School of Physics and Astronomy
Abstract
The Hub will create a seamless link between science and applications by building on our established knowledge exchange activities in quantum technologies. We will transform science into technology by developing new products, demonstrating their applications and advantages, and establishing a strong user base in diverse sectors. Our overarching ambition is to deliver a wide range of quantum sensors to underpin many new commercial applications. Our key objective is to ensure that the Hub's outputs will have been picked up by companies, or industry-led TSB projects, by the end of the funding period.
The Hub will comprise: a strong fabrication component; quantum scientists with a demonstrated ability to combine scientific excellence with technological delivery; leading engineers with the broad collective expertise and connections required to develop and use new quantum sensors. We have identified, and actively involved, industry enablers to build a supply chain for quantum sensor technology. As well as direct physics connections to industry, the engineers provide strong links to relevant industrial users, thus providing information on industrial needs and enabling rapid prototype deployment in the field. To establish a coherent national collaborative effort, the Hub will include a UK network on quantum sensors and metrology, which will also exploit the connections that Prof Bongs and all Hub members have forged in Europe, the US and Asia. This inter-linkage ensures capture of the most advanced developments in quantum technology around the world for exploitation by the UK.
Quantum sensors and metrology, plus some devices in quantum communication, are the only areas where laboratory prototypes have already proven superior to their best classical counterparts. This sets the stage, credibly, for rapid and disruptive applications emerging from the Hub. The selection of prototypes will be driven by commercial pull, i.e. each prototype project within the Hub must demonstrate, from the outset, industry or practitioner engagement from our engineering and/or industrial collaborators. We have strong industry support across several disciplines with the structures in place actively to manage technology and knowledge transfer to the industry sector. Particular roles are played by NPL and e2V. We will closely collaborate with NPL as metrology end-user on clock, magnetometer and potentially Watt balance developments with a lecturer-level Birmingham-NPL fellow contributed by Birmingham University and our PRDAs spending ~17 man-years in addition to 3-5 PhD students on these joint projects in the Advanced Metrology Laboratory/incubator space. E2v have a unique industrial manufacturing/R&D facility co-located within the School of Physics and Astronomy at Nottingham that has already catalysed the expansion of their activities into the Quantum Technology domain. Public Engagement conveying the Hub's breakthroughs will be a high priority - for example annually at the Royal Society Summer Exhibitions. In addition to cohort-training of 80 PhD students working within the Hub, the Hub will contribute to the training of ~500 PhD students via electronically-shared lectures (many already running within the e-learning graduate schools MPAGS, MEGS, SEPNET and SUPA) across the institutions within the Hub.
The Hub will create an internationally-leading centre of excellence with major impact in the area of quantum sensors and metrology. To widen the impact of the Hub and ensure long-term sustainability, we will actively pursue European and other international collaborative funding for both underlying fundamental research and the technology development.

Planned Impact
The Hub will create an internationally leading centre of excellence delivering major impact in the area of quantum sensors and metrology. These technologies promise to revolutionise all of our lives in many diverse areas spanning from improved healthcare to reducing traffic congestion.
Short term economic impact will arise from the supply chain building activities in WP1-4. These will deliver novel world leading underpinning technologies such as fully wafer integrated laser systems, compact special purpose lasers, novel atom/ion chips, self-contained vacuum technology and advanced manufacturing techniques with uncommon materials. These components will immediately address specialist commercial markets (e.g. 1000s of research groups in cold atom research around the world), with the potential for significant future widening of this market. As we already have lined up numerous companies in various parts of the supply chain we expect a quick pickup of the technology.
Medium term economic impact is expected to arise from our quantum sensor developments. Here the anticipated disruptive nature of the sensor capabilities poses the challenge that not many markets exist for these devices besides defence, metrology, space and geophysics. The user-driven, engineering-led demonstration activities of the Hub are designed to address this challenge and actively pursue market-building activities. All engineering research linked to our Hub will be driven by user needs, promoting industrial adoption and generating social and economic impact, such as by reducing urban traffic congestion with better underground intelligence. We will use a significant fraction of the partnership resource for such activities, which we see as the essential step to build sufficient commercial confidence in a "spooky" and potentially disruptive quantum technology to unlock further industrial investment. This confidence in new quantum technologies will also lead to joint TSB-funded projects, in a potential second innovation stage of the Hub dominated by engineers and industry.
On a 10-50 year timescale, the sensors developed in this Hub could revolutionise a wide range of industrial processes, as diverse as: resilient communication networks; structural analysis, for example in aerospace; functional analysis, for example of electronic components; improved oil and gas recovery; CO2 sequestration supervision; construction work using underground space; assessment of water infrastructure; detection of sinkholes; assessment of the condition of dams in flood prevention. In addition, novel magnetic sensors for medical diagnosis on the cellular level and real-time imaging of brain activity could enable novel treatments of dementia and cancer, for example. Such sensors are also needed to develop functional biological systems in synthetic biology, and to enable novel human-machine interfaces with applications in, for example, the gaming market or in analysing skin types to match them with the most appropriate medications or cosmetics. We have assembled a range of industry and applied researchers in these areas, selected to transfer the Hub's outputs into real-world products.
Quantum technologies, and the underpinning fundamental science, are fascinating topics for outreach. The Hub's public engagement will include presentations in schools, at the British Science Festival, a dedicated outreach website, podcasts, and social media discussion. We will build on existing successful models such as Nottingham's "Sixty symbols" video project (http://www.sixtysymbols.com/), which has attracted >28 million views and >360,000 YouTube followers.
Overall, the technologies developed within this Hub have the potential to transform industries, medicine, and quality of life, by delivering products and markets with multi-billion to multi-trillion pound economic potential.

| Description | The UK National Quantum Technology Hub in Sensors and Metrology has increased awareness in government, society and industry of the advantages and future technology potential of quantum sensors in real-world applications. The findings have been used in presentations and publications at the national and international level, including UK government and the European commission. In addition the findings have triggered interest in industry, resulting in multi £M investment form the commercial sector, in order to enter into quantum technologies and support knowledge transfer actions. The Hub has contributed the the GO-Science Quantum Blackett review and the JRC report on quantum timing. The Hub has been triggered over 112 partnership projects with 73 individual industry partners, valuing over £100M and with an industry contribution exceeding £15M. This resulted in the creation of 25 new quantum-sensor related products and over 35 jobs created in our partner companies. In this respect, we have very successfully triggered a UK industry ecosystem in the supply chain for quantum sensors.The exploitation and development pathway is ongoing and will focus on the acceleration of market pull by large system integrators and end-users in phase II of the Hub. There has been a spin-off company Aquark based on research funded within this Hub. Please see Quantum Hub for Sensors and Timing for further findings and impacts based on this grant |

| Title | 3D printed methods and lasers for Quantum Technologies |
| Description | 3D printed designs were used to develop extremely compact and stable arrangements of optics. The optimal arrangement (only achievable with 3D printing) leads to short pathways and very compact optical setups. This modular approach can be applied to any optical setup and lead to compact and stable solutions. |

| Title | Comparative simulations of holography methods for ultracold atom trapping |
| Description | Simulation results corresponding to results figures in the publication titled 'Comparative simulations of holography methods for ultracold atom trapping'. Created with the aim to compare the use of spatial light modulators (SLMs) to Fresnel zone plates (FZPs) to create arbitrary light waveguides, specifically considering the Fresnel (lenless) holographic technique. Data was created following the simulations outlined in the corresponding paper, using Matlab. The data is saved as CSVs and is organised in folders according figure and subfigure. Cost array files (and figure 7's propagation data) are saved with relevant axes below the data (alongside units and descriptions). For intensity distribution files and kinoform files, each data point corresponds to a pixel of size 1064nm X 1064nm. Data is produced with funding from EPSRC, DSTL and Leverholme Trust. As such, the data is restricted until DSTL has given permission to publish in this form (as opposed to in figure form within the publication). |

| Title | Data for: "Sub-kHz-linewidth VECSELs for cold atom experiments" |
| Description | The dataset presented here corresponds to the experimental data reported in the manuscript "Sub-kHz linewidth VECSEL for cold atoms experiments" to be published in Optics Express (https://doi.org/10.1364/OE.390982). This paper describes the design and operation of an ultra-narrow linewidth and low noise AlGaInP-based vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting-lasers (VECSEL) with emission at 689 nm. First, it includes the VECSEL power transfer with and without an intracavity birefringent filter (both plotted in Fig. 2(a)); and the free-running emission wavelength and tunability (Fig. 2(b)). Second, the frequency noise analysis is presented for the VECSEL system for the case of both free-running operation and when locked to a reference cavity via the Pound-Drever-Hall technique. Fig. 3 presents the power spectral density (PSD) for both cases for an acquisition time of 2s. Fig. 4(a) presents the PSD for an acquisition time of 100s from which an estimate of the linewidth of the locked laser is calculated via auto-correlation and the Wiener-Khintchine theorem, presented in Fig. 4(b). The inset of Fig. 4(b) shows the estimated linewidth, calculated using the same method, for a range of acquisition times. Fig. 5 presents the relative intensity noise (RIN) for the VECSEL system and pump laser. Finally, the results of a beat note measurement against a second VECSEL system locked to the same reference cavity (shown in Fig. 6(a)) and against a commercial ECDL locked to an ultra-stable reference cavity (shown Fig. 6(b)) are presented. |

| Title | Diffraction grating characterisation for cold-atom experiments |
| Description | The premise of the associated paper focusses around the characterisation of micro-fabricated diffraction gratings with an aim towards implementation as a compact source for cold atoms. This characterisation entails an in-depth study of the effect of periodicity, duty cycle and coatings as a function of the diffraction efficiency. Furthermore, the paper offers a brief description of experimental critical parameters of implementation such as the tilt angle and incident wavelength. The Dataset comprises 5 Excel files, with the data used to create figures 3,4,5 and 6. |

| Impact | Built a single tunable cavity to stablise 5 different laser wavelengths. This will be used to transfer the frequency stability of the clock laser to the other lasers in the experiment (679 nm repumper, 922 nm (frequency doubled to 461 nm) blue MOT, 689 nm red MOT, 813 nm lattice, 698 nm clock). Loaded a red MOT with 107 88Sr atoms at 1 µK. Loaded a 813 nm 'magic wavelength' lattice with 3x105 88Sr atoms. Built up the capability to do 87Sr clock measurements in parallel to the 88Sr system. Switching between the two isotopes simply requires the flip of a switch to select the correct AOM to shift the 689 nm red MOT laser between the different frequencies required by the two isotopes. Assembled an ECDL for a 2600 nm DFB diode laser to excite atoms along the 3P0 - 3D1 transition and measure the lifetime of the 3D1 state. A lifetime measurement with an accuracy below 5 ns will lead to a calculation of the polarisability of the clock transition and a reduction in the BBR shift uncertainty in neutral Sr lattice clocks. |

The apparatus (2) has a first demodulator (76) for producing a first demodulation signal. A frequency locking arrangement uses the first demodulation signal to lock a carrier frequency of the frequency-modulated laser beam (22) and a mode of the cavity (36) to each other. The apparatus has a second demodulator (50) for producing a second demodulation signal and for generating, on the basis of the second demodulation signal, an output indicative of the amount of the analyte in the mixture. Other apparatus and methods are described. |

| Results and Impact | Researchers from the University of Sussex will reveal the secrets of quantum computers to the UK public at the Science Museum in London this week. Launched on Wednesday February 7th, the 'Could quantum computers change the world?' will illuminate a topic that has baffled scientists for decades. Curated by Sussex physicists in partnership with the Science Museum, it will be displayed in the Tomorrow's World gallery space and will run for four months. Once confined to science fiction - quantum theory predictions include that an object can be in two places at the same time - quantum computers are now becoming a reality, with the University of Sussex among those leading the development. The technology is so powerful that quantum computers will be able to calculate in minutes what would take even today's fastest supercomputers billions of years. Unlike current computing, which uses binary codes, quantum computers instead use quantum states. It has enormous implications for a broad range of sectors such as finance, science and security. Last year the University of Sussex published the world's first practical blueprint for constructing a quantum computer. It followed collaboration with scientists around the world and Google US. The Sussex team is now in the process of building a prototype device, and are ramping up their efforts to build what may be the most powerful computer on earth. Dr Sebastian Weidt, Senior Scientist in the Ion Quantum Technology group at the University of Sussex, is the lead physicist on the exhibition. He and colleagues will be talking to members of the public at a series of live events at the Science Museum between 13th and 15th February. Visitors will have the chance to remotely take control of a small-scale quantum computer that is located at the University of Sussex. Dr Weidt said: "It has been a fantastic experience and a great pleasure to work with the Science Museum on this exhibition and help explain this potentially world-changing technology to the public. "I am particularly thrilled visitors will be able to see some of the core quantum computer components currently under development at the University of Sussex. It'll help people get a real feel for what these machines look like. I am also very much looking forward to having the opportunity to talk to the general public about our work at the Science Museum Tomorrow's World Live events." Amy Pollak, Content Developer at the Science Museum, said: "Quantum computers may soon have a significant impact on all of our lives. So it's great for us to be working with the University of Sussex to share this exciting and cutting edge technology with our visitors." Visitors will learn about some of the most important underlying principles of how a quantum computer works and what makes it so powerful. They will learn how these computers will be useful, and may change our lives. A model of the vacuum system used in the University of Sussex's quantum computer prototype will be on display. The exhibition will also show a silicon wafer comprising 64 quantum computing microchips, which is the heart of the quantum computer being developed at Sussex. |

| Results and Impact | We have created a walk in quantum computer installation. This is the first time a UK university has taken Quantum Technology to the streets and invited the public along to see the ground-breaking work being carried out in order to develop quantum computers. The designed structure houses four amazing exhibits that will help develop a greater understanding of QT for anyone entering the space. Visitors to the quantum computer installation are able to quiz the team on how their discoveries may shape the future, watch immersive video projections of experiments being carried out in the lab and see exhibits including real chips used in quantum computer as well as a simulation of the vacuum system that enables quantum computation along with other interactive exhibits. The team explains what it's like to work at the cutting edge of scientific research and how this might help solve some of life's most complex problems. The installation was taken in the centre of London's financial district, Spitalfields Markets, in order to interact with the general public. It was also exhibited at the British Science Festival in Brighton. |

| Results and Impact | Our paper, Moving magnetoencephalography towards real-world applications with a wearable system, by E. Boto, et al (published in Nature (555 (7698), 657) in 2018) was the first to describe the implementation of a MEG system in which subjects can move freely whilst being scanned. This multi-channel instrument, based on quantum sensors, also showed significantly improved spatial resolution compared to conventional MEG, and significantly lower susceptibility to artifact than EEG. This paper represents a step change for neuroscience. It was universally well received by the press - being picked up by >50 media outlets worldwide including the BBC national news, a number of national newspapers (Times, Guardian etc) as well as many international outlets (New Scientist, Scientific American etc.). According to altmetric.com which tracks mainstream, and social media coverage, this article was ranked in the top 1% of all articles of a similar age. |
