UK Quantum Sector Accelerates Amid Growing Skills Gap, IOP Director Warns
The second quantum revolution is progressing faster than anticipated, according to Institute of Physics director Louis Barson. However, the UK and Ireland face significant skills shortages that could hamper quantum technology development across healthcare, finance, and communications sectors.
Quantum Technology Advancement Accelerates
The second quantum revolution is unfolding “a bit faster than most expected” and will prove transformative across multiple sectors, according to Louis Barson, director of science, business and education at the Institute of Physics. Sources indicate that quantum technologies are already solving real-world problems in transportation, healthcare, communications, and finance, with practical quantum computing deployment anticipated within the next decade.
