What is in a black hole? Quantum technologies will help to answer some of the universe’s deep questions
Quantum random number generators (QRNGs) can provide genuinely random numbers to support numerical modelling and simulations
Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNGs) are better than Random Number Generators (RNGs) as they produce truly random numbers
Quantum computers revolutionise computational science
Quantum simulation, part of the Quantum Information Technology revolution, promises profound insights into computing
AION (Atom Interferometry Observatory and Network) project will help to search for universe’s dark matter
What is in a black hole? We might find out soon enough!
Understanding our universe
There is a huge amount of research taking place across the UK around fundamental physics, which will help us to better understand our universe, and help us develop new ground-breaking technologies

Researchers develop efficient method for producing single photon sources
A team of QCS researchers from Cardiff University and the University of Sheffield have developed a new manufacturing process to produce semiconductor light sources, capable of generating high-purity, indistinguishable single photons on demand. These single photon sources are crucial for numerous applications in the rapidly developing field of quantum technology.

Evaluating quantum computing’s societal impacts
The speed of development in quantum computing has accelerated greatly in the last few years, and as a result, the commercial sector is becoming more developed, with accompanying attention and excitement from both stock markets and policymaking circles. Alongside commercial development, potential use-cases are also becoming clearer, and thus preparing for the possible societal impacts of quantum computing becomes increasingly important.
