About us

Quantum sensing, imaging and timing will deliver transformative advancements across multiple sectors,
including healthcare, infrastructure, transportation, environmental sustainability and security.

These technologies make seeing the invisible possible: the inside workings of our brains, the infrastructure
buried beneath our feet, the polluting gases in the air around us, the cancers lurking in our tissue
or the drones in our crowded skies. These are some of the challenges we are poised to address.

At the heart of QuSIT is a world-leading and diverse team of 45 investigators, comprising both emerging
talents and seasoned experts. Their impressive academic track record is complemented by a
shared commitment to translate innovation from the laboratory to address real-world challenges.
Our researchers have a history of licensing technology to industry and launching their own ventures.

The Hub is supported by companies and other end-users many of which have made significant investments.
These include BT, BAE Systems, Department for Transport, Great Ormond Street Hospital, National Grid,
National Physical Laboratory, Ordnance Survey and Severn Trent Water. In the increasingly competitive
international landscape, QuSIT will provide both the vision and have the convening power required to
ensure that the UK remains at the forefront of quantum technology.
