The University of Bristol is a pioneer in quantum

Home to the Bristol Quantum Information Institute and one of two UKRI-funded Centres for Doctoral Training in quantum engineering, it boasts over 150 researchers at the forefront of the field.

Our region's commitment to quantum innovation is further solidified by the £35 million Quantum Technologies Innovation Centre (QTIC). Opening in 2026 as part of the £300 million Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus, QTIC will be the UK's largest dedicated quantum technologies facility. This centre is projected to create 360 jobs and generate £232 million in economic value over a decade.

Our business has grown rapidly. QTIC has all the right ingredients that enabled us to use the network and build new links. The labs and equipment are fantastic – there is nothing comparable for quantum and quantum service companies in the UK.
