Research

The Imperial Centre for Quantum Engineering, Science and Technology was formed to tackle Quantum technologies and the transformation of the Quantum landscape.

In 2021, the centre framed its focus to three main themes:

  • Materials for Quantum Technologies
  • Quantum Internet 
  • Applications of Quantum Computing 

Research into these themes is multi-disciplinary, spanning across many departments and research groups.
