The Quantum Technologies ARC will develop multi-disciplinary, cross-sector teams to advance the UK\u2019s quantum sector, accelerate major research grants, and cultivate lucrative foreign investment.<\/p>\n
SFC\u2019s ARC programme aims to address the most important issues facing the Scottish Government and governments worldwide.<\/p>\n
The Quantum Technologies project is the latest ARC initiative, joining the recently announced Scottish Brain Health ARC and the Scottish Alliance for Food at the University of Glasgow and an Arc on Energy led by the University of St Andrews.<\/p>\n
The \u00a3600,000 funding will support the Quantum Technologies ARC for four years, which will be led by researchers from the University\u2019s School of Physics & Astronomy and James Watt School of Engineering.<\/p>\n
Dr Ashley Lyons and Dr Sam Bayliss, co-leads of the Quantum Technologies ARC, commented: \u201cWe are seeing rapid and remarkable developments in using quantum-mechanical features of the world to enable practical technologies, with Scotland being a key player in this progress.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe key to realising the potential benefits of such technologies is a holistic approach which creates a dialogue between market-driven challenges; cutting-edge research \u2013 including in subjects such as the arts, humanities, and social sciences \u2013 and wider society.<\/p>\n
\u201cThanks to this ARC, we are in a special position to be able to achieve this and create a new, interdisciplinary hub for quantum technologies development in Scotland.\u201d<\/p>\n
