1、1Quantum Ecosystem Mapping report32ContentsForewordThe National Physical Laboratory(NPL),as the UKs national metrology institute,plays a major role across the full scale and scope of the UK National Quantum Technologies Programme(NQTP).In support of its objectives,the NPL Quantum Programme(NPLQP)use
2、s our wide range of capabilities,delivered with the discipline of international metrology and coupled with our independence,to support the UK quantum economy.In order for this to occur,NPLs quantum programme works with the broader UK quantum ecosystem to help them develop products with confidence an
