Theme
The materials, components and fabrication that quantum devices depend on: photonic chips, lasers, superconductors, diamond and cryogenics.
6 projects (1 active), £6.5m of it with a sourced funding figure; Fraunhofer Centre for Applied Photonics leads the most (2). 68 companies and start-ups work in this area.
