SEQUEL group is a partner in Empowering Practical Interfacing of Quantum Computing (EPIQC) project. This project aims at bridging the gap between current quantum computers and communication technologies. Other partners in the project are: the Universities of Birmingham, Lancaster and Southampton; University College London; King’s College London; the National Quantum Computing Centre; the Science and Technology Facilities Council; QuantIC; QCS Hub; IET Quantum Engineering Network; EPSRC eFutures Network and the National Physical Laboratory. EPIQC’s industrial partners include: Oxford Instruments; Leonardo; NuQuantum; BT; SeeQC; Semiwise; Quantumbase; Nokia; Ericsson; Kelvin Nanotechnology, and SureCore.

At Strathclyde university we will be focussing on implementing wireless signal links between the quantum devices and the control electronics in a cryogenic environment. This is a formidable and crucial challenge to be tackled, in order to enable large quantum computing systems that could help solve practical real-life problems.
