The UK National Physical Laboratory (NPL) secured Government Office for Technology Transfer (GOTT) funding to develop scalable manufacturing processes for trapped-ion quantum computing devices, addressing production yield and bottlenecks to enable larger-scale quantum computing networks.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Quantum Computing, and 2 sources have reported it between 21 Oct 2026 and 22 Oct 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You need to act on UK quantum supply as production scale is becoming achievable, opening a chance to partner or compete in a market moving beyond lab prototypes to real-world quantum networks.
