About us

QTOPS will actively identify, understand and monitor key quantum technology trends, serving as a data-driven tool to track and visualise progress in quantum technology. Through our proactive approach and research agenda, QTOPS aims to understand and anticipate quantum technology developments and prepare policymakers, researchers, industry leaders, investors, entrepreneurs and the public for their potential implications. By facilitating evidence-based analysis and structured insights, QTOPS will enable us to proactively engage with quantum technology stakeholders across the globe.  

Our approach blends established, traditional research methods with advanced, state-of-the-art techniques to produce meaningful and impactful quantum technology policy research and analysis. Recognising the uncertainties inherent in technological advancements and the importance of preparing for diverse future scenarios, we also frequently leverage the expertise of our colleagues in the Centre for Futures and Foresight Studies. In addition, we can apply insights from our expertise with other emerging technologies – including AI and biotechnology – and assess the consequences of their interplay with quantum technology.
