The next 20 years are poised to see the "second quantum revolution", with the widespread emergence of technologies and devices, leveraging the properties of superposition and entanglement which govern the dynamics of light and matter at the smallest scales. Potentially most disruptive of all quantum technologies is quantum computing, which permits the efficient computation of a variety of problems that are effectively intractable with conventional computers, including searching large databases, advanced materials design in aerospace applications and pharmaceutical drug discovery. The UK is currently taking a leading role in the development of both hardware and software for quantum computing, and has fostered a wide base of expertise in these areas. This project aims to develop a compact vacuum system complete with integrated atomic source for use within ion trap quantum computers. One of the specific challenges on the road to developing a large quantum computer is the high level of engineering required to produce the devices and their subcomponents. This project seeks to develop a key subcomponent for an ion trap quantum computer within an industrial setting using scalable techniques. The successful execution of this project will bolster UK industry's position within the emerging international market in quantum computing and permit the future development of highly integrated systems.

随着技术和设备的广泛出现，未来20年将见证“第二次量子革命”，这些技术和设备将利用在最小尺度上控制光和物质动力学的叠加和纠缠特性。所有量子技术中最具颠覆性的可能是量子计算，它允许对传统计算机难以解决的各种问题进行有效计算，包括搜索大型数据库、航空航天应用中的先进材料设计和药物发现。英国目前在量子计算硬件和软件的开发方面处于领先地位，并在这些领域培养了广泛的专业知识基础。该项目旨在开发一个紧凑的真空系统，完整地集成原子源，用于离子阱量子计算机。在开发大型量子计算机的道路上，一个具体的挑战是生产设备及其子组件所需的高水平工程。该项目旨在利用可扩展技术开发工业环境中离子阱量子计算机的关键子组件。该项目的成功实施将巩固英国工业在新兴国际量子计算市场中的地位，并允许高度集成系统的未来发展。
