Compound Semiconductor Applications Catapult is part of a consortium that is one of the winners of the Quantum Missions pilot competition, securing a share of £12m of funding from Innovate UK. The collaboration brings together Vector Photonics, Phlux Technology, and the University of Bristol, alongside the Catapult’s expertise. The initiative aims to accelerate the development of quantum computing (QC) and quantum networks (QN) by overcoming barriers to commercialisation – leveraging capabilities already proven by the Catapult’s earlier feasibility study, QUDITS, delivered in 2024.
