Description

In March 2023, the government published the National Quantum Strategy, where it committed to publishing long-term quantum missions to galvanise technology development towards ambitious outcomes. The 5 Quantum Missions were published in December last year. The Department for Science Innovation and Technology (DSIT) would like individuals or organisations with commercial and technical knowledge of the quantum technology sector to develop detailed road maps to support the design and delivery of the each Quantum Mission. Road maps for each Mission will be contracted out separately through individual lots given the specialist expertise required to deliver each one (ranging from quantum networking infrastructure to medical technology adoption pathways). Road mapping activity for Mission 1 on quantum computing is not in scope. Alongside common evidence requirements for all lots (technology development timelines and underpinning requirements for priority use cases), there are specific requirements for each. These are detailed below but will be refined throughout the pre-market engagement process and with the successful bidder(s): Lot 1: Quantum networking (Mission 2): technology and research milestones to materialise quantum networks, analysis of competing quantum networking components, underpinning classical infrastructure requirements Lot 2: Quantum sensing for healthcare (Mission 3): high potential clinical use case identification, mapping of necessary activity through the NHS HealthTech adoption framework Lot 3: Quantum position, navigation and timing (PNT) (Mission 4): market size estimates for core sub-component technologies such as compound semiconductors, MEMS vacuum cells, integrated photonics and advanced packaging. Lot 4: Quantum sensing for critical national infrastructure (CNI) (Mission 5): Current and future performance of sensing platforms, market size estimates for use cases such as gravity sensing in different sectors
