Abstract

Under the UK National Quantum Technologies Programme (NQTP), one of the key areas of work is described as “Strengthen engagement in international standards and benchmarking”. This report from the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) covers UK and international activity in quantum technology standards development and NPL’s involvement in that process.

This report provides an update on standards development in quantum computing, quantum communications, quantum imaging, and quantum sensors and timing.

NPL delivered a well-attended on-line workshop with high-profile speakers on quantum computing standardisation. For the work identified as a priority to start effectively and efficiently, NPL and other NMIs will take leadership in developing the standardisation strategy.

Three more workshops will be organised by NPL on quantum communication, quantum imaging, and quantum sensors and timing. The goal will be to seek similar direction for appropriate standards development.

The establishment of the NPL Centre for Quantum Standards will focus quantum technology standards activity for optimum effectiveness, with the NPL Quantum Standards Manager as a dedicated resource.
