QEPNT Hub

Quantum computing, sensing and communications New ways to control atom-sized objects have led to potentially transformative technologies like quantum computing. What are the benefits of these new quantum technologies, and what are the risks?

Pleased to see the POSTnote Research briefing on quantum technologies published, with contributions from QEPNT PI Doug Paul. The report recognises the UK’s progress in quantum computing, sensing and communications..

Helping to keep our satellite systems secure In a world where the benefits of decades of technological advances are so ubiquitous they’ve almost become invisible, it’s easy to forget how…

A large-scale jamming attack could cost the UK a billion pounds a day," writes Prof Douglas Paul in @heraldscotland.bsky.social
on the vulnerabilities of satellite networks.
