Birmingham Institute for Quantum Technologies
The new Birmingham Institute for Quantum Technologies, to be launched in Autumn 2023, will support academics to explore and facilitate opportunities in the fundamental science space and drive the creation, use and manufacture of quantum sensing and timing devices, building on existing collaborations between Physics and Engineering. This interdisciplinary Institute. This will include world-leading gravity gradiometry and optical clock developments, facilities including the National Buried Infrastructure Facility, Radar, Dark-fibre networks, and enhanced support for the development chain of early-stage technologies.
We are known across the world for our work on Quantum Sensing and Timing. The creation of the Birmingham Institute for Quantum Technologies will allow us to broaden the engagement of researchers across the University and accelerate our ambition to make Quantum Technologies a reality for the benefit of society.

Our resources
Gravity Sensing
Enabling us to see below the ground, to detect potential hazards, and to assess the underground infrastructure before buildings works begin.
Quantum clocks and radar
Compact quantum clocks will provide oscillators for high-end radar systems.
Navigation
Future independent, resilient navigation with quantum sensor technology
