Active Programme · 2025 onwards
EPSRC Quantum Technology Career Acceleration Fellowships
EPSRC fellowships for 11 early-career quantum technology researchers at UK universities.
Role: Partner
Themes: Skills and training, Computing, Sensing
Newcastle University
University · Newcastle upon Tyne
Newcastle's quantum technology research is concentrated in the School of Computing, where Jonte Hance heads a quantum group that mines the foundations of quantum mechanics, such as contextuality and the way measurement disturbs a system, for new protocols in imaging, sensing and computing. Hance holds one of 11 EPSRC Quantum Technology Career Acceleration Fellowships. Quantum mathematics also reaches beyond physics at the university: in May 2026 a team in the School of Psychology won £1.2 million from UKRI for Quantum Emotions, which uses quantum formalism to model emotional memory in situations where the order of events matters.
Newcastle University, in Newcastle upon Tyne, appears in two UK quantum projects listed here. It appears as a partner in EPSRC Quantum Technology Career Acceleration Fellowships and QCi3.

Newcastle University Builds Hyperbit from Two Qubits, read on Quantum Zeitgeist
Why three mutually unbiased questions have long defined the limit for two-level quantum systems has now been challenged. A new theoretical construct, the hyperbit, demonstrates that four such questions are possible without adhering to standard restrictions governing these systems. This realisation m

Researchers Map Quantum Error Correction Using Phase-Space Representations, read on Quantum Zeitgeist
Previously, determining how errors behave in new bosonic quantum codes required bespoke mathematical derivations. Now, a unified structure theorem provides a general phase-space representation applicable to *any* such code, simplifying analysis and potentially accelerating the development of error c

Fewer Measurements Unlock More Precise Parameter Estimation in Quantum Systems, read on Quantum Zeitgeist
Path integrals now bypass the need to reconstruct a quantum system’s state when calculating its ultimate precision. Previously, determining this required complex calculations dependent on state derivatives or overlaps, limiting analysis of many-body systems. This new formulation expresses the quantu
