The Quantum Communications Hub is a quantum technology research hub established as part of the UK National Quantum Technologies Programme. The hub is a consortium of 8 UK universities and 13 industrial partners led out of the University of York. It received funding of £24m over a 5-year period.
The hub will develop techniques for quantum key distribution (QKD), and in particular the chip-scale integration of QKD, as well as developing the UK's first quantum network.
