DESCRIPTION:Quantum Technology (QT)\, like cyber technology and the Intern
 et of Things (IoT)\, is a broad group of technologies that have the potent
 ial to unlock enormous technical and business opportunity.  The defining c
 haracteristic of QT is the ability to manipulate unique properties of atom
 s.  This enables a wide range of applications\, from more accurate ways of
  sensing the environment to revolutionising computing.\n\nDr. Paul Martin 
 is a Partner at PA Consulting’s Global Innovation and Technology Centre 
 in Melbourn near Cambridge.  His role is to lead innovation and research s
 trategies through to solution delivery and he is  currently the focus for 
 QT at PA.  After gaining a MEng at the University of Bath and a PhD in DSP
  covering wireless communications\, Paul was a Chief Technology Officer (C
 TO) for several technology companies before joining PA.\n\nPaul will prese
 nt on the concept of and background to QT\, current developments and its p
 otential for the future.  He will give examples of where Quantum Technolog
 y can disrupt industries including the established area of global navigati
 on satellite systems (GNSS).  Precision timing\, improved inertial navigat
 ion and gravity navigation can and could be delivered effectively with QT.
  \n\nThe combination of UK academic excellence and the Government investin
 g £400 million has positioned the UK as a world leader in next generation
  quantum technologies (QT).  As well as the technical developments and opp
 ortunities\, Paul will outline the business opportunities resulting from t
 he UK's investment in the new area of technology.    \n\nFor more details
