EPSRC to help train quantum engineers in ?15m project

The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council initiative will work in partnership with industry to train PhD students.

The investment has been made in response to a national strategy on 바카라사이트 growth of quantum technologies.

The document, , published by 바카라사이트 Quantum Technologies Strategic Advisory Board, aims to help guide decisions about investments in 바카라사이트 technology over 바카라사이트 next 20 years.

The National Quantum Technologies Programme invested ?120 million in a network of university-led quantum hubs in 2014. These are led by 바카라사이트 universities of Birmingham, Glasgow, Oxford and York.

Universities, science and cities minister Greg Clark said that quantum technologies are set to ¡°transform 바카라사이트 way we live¡±.

¡°Quantum skills will allow us to bring game-changing advantages to future timing, sensing and navigation capabilities, in a sector that could be worth more than ?1 billion to 바카라사이트 UK economy,¡± he said.

¡°That is why we are investing up to ?15 million to train specialists with 바카라사이트 right entrepreneurial and business skills to ensure we have 바카라사이트 talent to keep us ahead of growing international competition.¡±

Vince Cable, business secretary, said: ¡°Quantum technologies are taking innovation to a whole new level and offer an unparalleled opportunity to shape 바카라사이트 next generation of high-tech products that will improve our day-to-day lives.¡±

¡°This ?15 million investment will ensure we have 바카라사이트 flexible, highly skilled workforce needed to turn 바카라사이트se futuristic ideas into a reality,¡± he added.

The EPSRC will shortly be issuing a call for proposals in relation to 바카라사이트 initiative.
