Our ApproachThe investigation, negotiation and settlement of claims is done at various levels to suit the particular case in question.

On top of this we have the facility to tailor any IT needs to individual customer requirements.

We also have established procedures for dealing with technical auditing and the management of delegated authority cases.

Depending on the complexity of the work, our charge rates can be on a case by case basis, an hourly rate or fixed fee, within agreed parameters.

To find out more, please contact 0870 402 7688 or email [email protected] for details of the services we can offer.


CommutationsCommutation is a personal business, and we believe that face to face communication is essential for a successful commutation relationship.

Capita’s approach to CommutationCommutation is one of the component parts of the run-off management strategy. It seeks to eliminate the exposures of our clients whilst simultaneously looking at realising the reinsurance asset.

To achieve a successful commutation it is imperative that a structured approach is both followed and maintained and that all material aspects affecting the commutation value have been taken into consideration.

Our commutations department have completed 250 commutations in the past 12 months and currently have more than 150 commutations in progress on behalf of cedants and reinsurers with a value in excess of $100M. To find out more, please contact

& Project Management, UCL

12pp MSc Course Brochure

Introduction Welcome to the Interdisciplinary Management of Projects (IDMP). This highly innovative new Masters course arrives at a time when activity in the UK construction industry is at an all time high. IDMP has been established to explicitly draw out the critical interdisciplinary issues that affect the success of modern projects.

IDMP course has been designed to bring together students drawn from across the spectrum of modern projects from the client side, through project advisors, to the complex side-side players.

The challenge for the industry, which is annually required to service nearly £30bn of new orders in the UK alone, is to deliver enhanced stakeholder value whilst also producing real client satisfaction.

IDMP acts as a powerful catalyst and equips its students – already recognised by their organisations as being high achievers - to

• Take advantage of the opportunities that appear once a deeper knowledge is acquired of the role that other disciplines play in the project

• Think rigorously and act decisively about the present and the future, based on solid intellectual thinking and exposure to leading practitioners’ experience

• Understand how projects and project-based organisations should best be managed to benefit today’s modern enterprise

• Recognise the value of interdisciplinary working in maintaining the commercial health of tomorrow’s construction industry

“IDMP’s benefits

will capture the

imagination

of those

organisations

committed to

the pursuit of

excellence and

accelerating the

development of

key senior staff”.

Bob White, Chairman, Mace

- on the part of the Student

• Who will show, at interview stage, a compelling willingness to engage and share experiences with fellow students from different stakeholder sectors

• Who will demonstrate both ability and capacity to thrive on intense immersion in the IDMP learning experience and maintain this over a sustained period

• Who will be capable of identifying and delivering a major research project report that will enable their employing organisation to address a strategically important challenge

- on the part of the Employing Organisation

• Which is likely to be one of the most forward-thinking organisations in their sector, and will be prepared to embrace the course philosophy by assigning real strategic issues for the student to address using the course resources

• Which will recognise that their investment in the course will mean managing the student’s normal workload in order for them and the student to attend the course and reap the maximum benefits

- on the part of the Sponsoring Partner Organisation

• Which will donate a partner-joining-fee that assists in the ongoing development costs of the course

• Which will supply a senior executive/manager/director to participate in quarterly partner meetings

• Which will supply relevant expertise to work with UCL and other sponsoring partners in order to develop and contribute to the IDMP course and its modules

Commitment required in order to maximise the benefits

Benefits of participating in IDMP- for the Student

• Accelerated acquisition of the intellectual skillset commensurate with aspirations of their vision to be an industry leader of the future

• Being able to lead and take strategic responsibility at the highest corporate governance levels

• Having access to the opinions and experience of those who are recognised as leading thinkers and practitioners in the industry

- for the Employing Organisation

• Profitability – opportunities to increase margins due to improvements in making sure that the correct project was managed the correct way, by the correct individuals working as a team

• Productivity – arising from improved understanding of where most value can be added and where non-value-adding attributes can be identified, redressed or removed

• Predictability – arising from better management of the uncertainty and multiple risks that can impact on a project. The management of the project will be placed in an overall corporate governance and behavioural context to produce more informed decision making

- for the Sponsoring Partner Organisation

• Direct access to those involved in shaping and developing the IDMP course

• Interaction with like-minded organisations and individuals who together will address key concerns and challenges that the industry faces

• Opportunities to showcase visionary thinking and developments alongside other sponsoring partners

“Leveraging

Commitment

to Achieve

Valuable

Outcomes”

About you as a student and your organisationIDMP students benefit by working alongside peers from world-class organisations typically active in the international construction arena. Although likely already to be leaders in their field, the students and the organisations they represent will also recognise that there is still much to learn and understand.

• You will probably be in an age range 28-45 and be enjoying a senior management position with aspirations to rise to a senior directorship or beyond

• Your organisation will either sponsor projects, use the resultant outputs, or be involved in the complex modern network of supply side experts, from consultants to manufacturers and installers

• You may well have professional qualifications and affiliations but your organisation values you more on the basis of what you have already delivered and is prepared to invest in your development to achieve outcomes consistent with its objectives

• Your organisation is striving to differentiate itself from its competitors and recognises its greatest asset is its staff. It needs visionary thinkers to shape and deliver projects that generate value for its customers, shareholders and other stakeholders

• Organisations that choose to become a sponsoring partner will recognise that IDMP offers the potential to shape the future. They will want to engage with UCL to help develop the course and participate in its delivery

Case Studies

IDMP features case-based learning as a primary teaching tool. The careful selection of a case, be it a project or organisation, provides particular context for general issues to be appreciated and discussed.

For example, IDMP with support from CITB-Construction Skills, has produced a number of case studies. These explore elements of success such as the development of design on 30 St Mary Axe, and the briefing process and design for the new Peckham Library.

Powerful learning opportunities are also derived from case studies that illustrate problematic projects such as the Scottish Parliament and Bath Spa.

Value of the course“We are already seeing the benefits of Gerry attending the course. Not only is she questioning ‘ the way we do things around here’ but is now putting forward alternative value-adding solutions.”

Derek Baillie, Project Director/ Head of Retail Projects - Land Securities (sponsor)

“The commitment shown by the course participants and their companies, along with that of UCL has also been extremely convincing. The group involved are from a wide cross-section of the property industry, with differing viewpoints and with a wealth of experience. This exceptional coming together has made the course an unrivalled learning experience to date, that will I am sure continue throughout. I wholeheartedly recommend it.”

Gavin J Heaphy, Pre-construction Manager - Bovis Lend Lease (student)

“Our experience to date is that the course offers a unique opportunity to expand our students’ understanding of the total project process and the engagement with fellow students with widely different backgrounds ensures a lively and invigorating learning process.”

Mike Hollis, Managing Director - Schmidlin-UK (sponsor)

“... Interaction with the rest of the group also provides real learning opportunities and helps you understand others in the industry. Not for the faint-hearted, the course is a real challenge for a busy professional, but the reward is most definitely proportionate to the input.”

Internal Information Booklet & Factsheets

Building Businesses from Brilliant Ideas:Setting up Spin-Out

companies at UCL

UCL BUSINESS

UCL VENTURES

Creating Spin Out companies - Internal Booklet

The creation of spin-out companies is a long and intensive process

and we believe there are five basic prerequisites that need to be

satisfied before a company is formed:

1. An abundance of world-class science.UCL is one of the UK’s leading research-led universities with over

5000 active researchers and many top-rated research departments.

Much of UCL’s fundamental research is aimed at increasing the

understanding of physical and biological systems and therefore not

of immediate commercial value. However, increased understanding

often clears the path for breakthrough technologies, which, if

properly harnessed, can be of immense commercial as well as

scientific value.

2. A strong proprietary intellectual property position.UCL invests heavily both in its Technology Transfer activities and in

its patent portfolio, using a wide network of specialist external patent

agents. UCL carries out prior art searches, market research and

conducts due diligence to root out damaging disclosures and other

potential encumbrances. Wherever possible, we build up portfolios

of related patents in order to strengthen our position and create

valuable technology portfolios.

3. Does the technology potential satisfy unmet needs?Briefly this distils down into two key issues. Firstly who are the

potential customers for the product that the venture will develop

and what will make them buy such a product. Secondly what is the

competition and is it easy for them to steal your emerging customer

base? Technology transfer managers work with the academic team

at the early stage to assess such issues and thus determine whether

the opportunity addresses market demand.

4. An academic team who are keen to be involved in the further development of their technology.A decade ago it was very rare for UK academic staff to start their

own business and it took a few early pioneers to prepare the way

and create the role models. Today many academics realise that to

be involved in spin-outs can be challenging, profitable and need not

compromise their academic career. Indeed the spin-out companies

themselves can enrich an academic’s fundamental research. There

are many in UCL who are now looking for the right idea and support

to found their own business.

5. Strong internal support mechanisms for the creation of spin-out companies. UCL has consistently encouraged academics who wish to explore

the option of creating a spin-out company as a means to realising

the full potential of a technology. It has put in place a number of

mechanisms and policies in support of this.

Forming a Company

Harnessing innovation in the United Kingdom is key to improving the

country’s future wealth creation prospects. For the UK economy to succeed

in generating growth through productivity and employment in the coming

decade, it must invest more strongly than in the past in its knowledge base

and translate this knowledge more effectively into business and public

service innovation. At the core of the UK’s knowledge base is its research and

development capacity, in both the public and private sectors, which enables

it to create, absorb and deploy new ideas rapidly. Universities have a key

role to play in the growth of the knowledge-based economy and over the

past decade many have sought to develop a portfolio of knowledge transfer

activities ranging from consultancy through to technology transfer.

UCL was one of the fi rst universities in the UK to establish a unit dedicated to

technology transfer and since 1990 a diverse range of companies have been

created across the physical and biomedical science areas. The companies have

ranged from niche consultancies to high growth enterprises with venture capital

backing. Some of these companies have not been successful despite their

founders’ best efforts, but a signifi cant number have created substantial value for

their founders, UCL and external investors.

Steven Schooling, Head of UCL Ventures

Nothing Ventured...Why patent?Patents grant an inventor the legal right to stop others

from making, using or selling their invention, normally for

a period of 20 years. This encourages investment in and

commercial development of an invention.

What can you patent?For a patent application to succeed, it must:

Be novel: It must not be made public in any way prior to

fi ling

an application.

Be inventive: It must not be obvious to someone

knowledgeable in the fi eld.

Have industrial application: It provides utility in any

industry.

Why are inventors often unable to secure patents?You cannot patent inventions that have been published,

publicly presented or disclosed outside of strict

confi dentiality. It is important not to talk about your

inventions without fi rst seeking advice from UCL Ventures.

How does patenting impact publication?Any details disclosed prior to fi ling a patent cannot be

protected. Once a patent application has been fi led,

publication can proceed without impeding a patent.

The application process is quick when information is

forthcoming.

More about patenting inventions.....

Patenting Inventions

Why create a Spin-out Company?Creating a spin-out company around a technology has the potential to

generate significant wealth as a large share of any profits made are retained

by the company, with the inventors being shareholders in that company.

Creating a spin-out may also be an appropriate commercialisation route when

there is a need to develop a technology further to extract its commercial value

or when the team surrounding the technology are strongly entrepreneurial.

Is my technology suitable?The following questions provide a good framework for assessing whether

the technology developed during your research has the potential to form

the basis of a spin-out company:

1. Does the opportunity match your experience, skills and interests and

do you have a sense of urgency to exploit the opportunity?

2. Can you recruit and lead the team needed to exploit the opportunity? If

you cannot, are you willing to accept external management input?

3. Do the opportunity’s resource needs (time, money, effort) shorten the

odds of success?

4. Is the timing of the opportunity right?

5. Does the opportunity constitute a scaleable (and ultimately saleable) business?

6. Does the opportunity offer good margin potential?

7. Are you developing an opportunity or an idea?

UCL Ventures would be happy to discuss the above questions or your answers.

How do you start a spin-out company?Once a technology’s potential has been quantified [see fact sheet “Assessing

a Technology”] and an interim management team has been identified an

appropriate business strategy must be formulated to maximise the chances of

success. UCL Ventures can assist in developing a business plan, establishing a

company, licensing IP into the company, building a team and securing funding.

How much time must you invest in a spin-out company?Creating a spin-out company is more involved than licensing and is not

something that UCL undertakes lightly. Continual input from key inventors

is essential to the success of a company and the average spin-out will

require involvement from its founders for 3 to 5 years.

How does the UCL academic benefit from a spin-out being formed?Those who contribute to the creation of a spin-out company built around

UCL technology receive an equity stake in that company. The exact stake

received depends on the individual’s contribution in developing the initial

intellectual property, their level of on-going involvement after the company

has been formed and the number of people involved. Spin-out companies

invariably require external investment and the level of capital committed to

the company will also impact the equity splits.

Can UCL Ventures provide funding to assist with Commercialisation?UCL Ventures is well placed to assist in securing funding for a viable

commercial venture. We have a strong understanding of the funding

landscape and a network of personal contacts in the funding community

providing access to business angel groups, venture capitalists, seed

capital funds, the DTI and the LDA. We have access to proof-of-concept

funds that can assist in early stage development and understand the

grant funding arena. We are also partners in a University Challenge Seed

Fund which can invest in UCL spin-out companies.

Creating a Spin-out Company

Why patent?Patents grant an inventor the legal right to stop others from making,

using or selling their invention, normally for a period of 20 years. This

encourages investment in and commercial development of an invention.

What can you patent?For a patent application to succeed, it must:

• Be novel: It must not be made public in any way prior to filing

an application.

• Be inventive: It must not be obvious to someone knowledgeable

in the field.

• Have industrial application: It provides utility in any industry.

Why are inventors often unable to secure patents?You cannot patent inventions that have been published, publicly presented

or disclosed outside of strict confidentiality. It is important not to talk about

your inventions without first seeking advice from UCL Ventures.

How does patenting impact publication?Any details disclosed prior to filing a patent cannot be protected. Once a

patent application has been filed, publication can proceed without impeding

a patent. The application process is quick when information is forthcoming.

Where does a patent provide protection?Patents provide territorial rights; a UK patent gives the right to protect only

against use in the UK. To fully protect an invention, patents must be granted

in each jurisdiction where one wishes to commercialise an invention.

How much does a patent cost?This depends on the efforts required to draft the initial specification.

It is common to pay a patent agent between £3,000 and £5,000 for an

initial draft and typically the total cost of obtaining a granted patent in

Europe, the USA and Japan from the initial specification would be in

the region of £60,000 to £80,000.

Who pays the patent costs?For inventions that are generated by UCL staff and which UCL

Ventures believes have significant commercial potential, UCL pays

the costs of filing and prosecution. [See the fact sheet “Intellectual

Property Rights” for more details]

Who benefits from patented UCL inventions?UCL and the inventors share profits generated from the commercial

exploitation of a patent filed by UCL. The exact terms depend on

the form of exploitation. [See the fact sheets “Creating a Spin-out

Company” and “Licensing Intellectual Property” for more details].

When should a patent application be filed?Filing early can protect initial ideas, but needs to be balanced with the

need to generate a patent application that fully protects the invention

and maximises its potential commercial value.

What should I do if I think I have a patentable invention?You should inform UCL Ventures who will advise on how to proceed. We

are accessible by telephone, email or our website. You will initially be asked

to complete a short, confidential invention disclosure form which allows us

to assess the IPR position and commercial potential of the invention.

How can I discover what has already been patented in my area?A searchable database of existing UK patents can be found at

www.gb.espacenet.com

How can I learn more about the patenting process?A more detailed explanation of the patent process can be obtained from:

• The UK Patent Office (www.patent.gov.uk),

• UKIP (www.intellectual-property.gov.uk), or

• The British Library (www.bl.uk/collections/patents).

Patenting Inventions

What is technology transfer?Technology transfer is the process by which Intellectual Property

developed during research is moved into a commercial entity to be

packaged and applied for society’s use and benefit.

What is UCL Ventures?UCL Ventures is the Technology Transfer Office for the Mathematical

and Physical Sciences, Engineering and Built Environment faculties at

UCL. We work with UCL staff and students to identify, evaluate, protect

and commercialise research outputs. UCL Ventures has significant

experience in patenting, business planning, market research, contract

negotiations, licensing and spin-out company formation and exists to

offer support to academics in these areas.

What are the routes to commercialisation?There are essentially two ways to extract commercial value from

Intellectual Property:

1. Licensing to existing companies; [See fact sheet “Licensing

Intellectual Property”]

2. Creating a new spin-out company around the Intellectual Property and the

team that developed it. [See fact sheet “Creating a Spin-out Company”]

How do you decide which route is most appropriate?Some key facts to consider are:

• Do companies exist with related products who may want to take a

licensee (e.g. does your IP improve the performance or reduce the

cost of an existing product?)

• Is this a “one-off” invention or does it form part of a portfolio with

wide application across a number of industry sectors?

• What is the potential size and scope of the potential markets for the idea?

• What are the inventor’s aspirations and future plans for involvement?

• How strong is the IP position?

In general, a technology with a single application or single route

to market in an existing sector may be best licensed to an existing

company, whereas a technology with a wide range of potential

markets, each requiring strategic partnerships to be organised is best

managed through a spin-out company.

What is the technology transfer process?The technology transfer process begins with invention disclosure,

whereby a UCL academic discusses their ideas with a staff member at

UCL Ventures and completes a short, confidential form which provides

us with information to make an initial assessment of the commercial

opportunity and legal position vis-à-vis intellectual property rights. If

we believe that the invention has commercial potential, we will fund

patent applications [see the fact sheet “Intellectual Property Rights”],

provide advice and assistance on commercialisation strategies,

negotiate contracts and manage the collection of any revenues to be

shared.

When should the Technology Transfer Office be contacted?Technology Transfer staff at UCL Ventures are available to meet

with you and discuss your idea at any stage of their development. If

you believe you have made a significant advance that may lead to a

new product, process or technique we would recommend that you

approach us as early as possible during its development. Disclosure

of ideas through for example conference presentations or journal

publication will limit the scope of IP protection and prevents successful

commercialisation. We can advise on how best to work through this.

Quantum Computing Major Research Project

WHY QUANTUM BASED COMPUTING

Materials at the atomic and molecular scale exhibit a range of properties that are not evident on the aggregate macroscopic scale. At this ‘nano-scale’, which is 1 billionth of a metre, quantum mechanics plays a key role in determining the behaviour and internal properties of matter and its constituents, in particular electrons begin to exhibit a host of complex ‘non-classical’ (non-Newtonian) attributes such as quantisation of energy and spin, wave-particle duality, quantum-tunnelling, Heisenberg uncertainty and various degrees of quantum entanglement (where one electron couples to the behaviour of another particle some distance away).

The transistor based operating paradigms of modern micro- and nano-electronics already rely heavily on quantum mechanical behaviour. This reliance is set to grow as quantum mechanics, originally a revolution of 20th century physics, becomes the dominant driver to computing advances in the 21st century. Gaining control of the quantum nature of matter will be the source of new industries, just as understanding the atom gave us the chemical industry in the 19th century, and the electron gave us microelectronics in the 20th century so harnessing the quantum properties of matter will give rise to a revolution in, amongst other areas, information processing.

Device miniaturisation and the associated requirements of speed, low power consumption and heat dissipation are driving the move to exploit ‘the quantum’. The ‘quantum’ refers to any one of the multiple quantum mechanical properties associated with atoms and electrons that can be exploited to hold information, for example spin or energy level occupancy. Based on current industry trends, the number of electrons needed to switch a transistor is predicted to have fallen to just 1 (one) by 2020. Alternative technologies that rely less on the mass movement of electrons will be essential at this stage, although various additional benefits are driving the QIP trend on a more rapid timeline.

In traditional ‘digital’ computing terms, a bit (binary digit) is the basic element for holding information; multiples of which are used to encode data using a binary format. A bit is typically represented as the value 1 or 0 based on whether a particular device holds an electronic charge or not respectively. In QIP the analogous information element is a ‘qubit’, i.e. a bit whose value is now dependent upon a quantum mechanical property like electron spin. However, due to its quantum mechanical nature, important differences exist between a bit and a qubit. The latter represents a ‘superposition’ of states; that is to say it can hold multiple values simultaneously (Table 1). This property allows a qubit to encode greater amounts of information than a single bit. Also, as the qubits in a network are coupled to each other through ‘instantaneous’ quantum interactions, the state of one has an influence on the others and so qubits can operate in a parallel manner. Furthermore, the coupling provides a vehicle for highly secure communication as the network ‘knows’ when any part of it has been interfered with.

THE LONDON CENTRE FOR NANOTECHNOLOGY

The LCN, which has its QIP activity based at University College London, leads the largest Quantum Computing activity in the UK. It uniquely comprises a multidisciplinary theoretical, experimental, fabrication and systems activity. The £3.7M ($6.7M), four year project is funded by the UK Research Councils and aims to deliver the key sub-components of a high-temperature (possibly room temperature) quantum computer based on a silicon architecture and making substantial use of off-the-shelf communications, IT, optical and semiconductor technology. The goal is to produce a ‘toolkit’ of devices and systems approaches analogous to the transistor based logic ‘gates’, metallic information ‘interconnects’ and operating systems that underpin modern electronics. This toolkit will subsequently form the basis of a range of future computational systems.

Table 1: Classical vs. Quantum information storage

Classical Quantum

Classical Bits are either 1 or 0. For example, 1 means spin up and 0 means spin down

Quantum bits ("qubits") can be in a "superposition state" that is both 0 and 1 at the same time:

Data is encoded in the α and β Ψ α 0 β 1⟩= ⟩ + ⟩

TECHNOLOGY IMPLEMENTATION

The LCN’s approach to QIP utilises electron ‘spins’ as qubits to hold and manipulate information. The electrons are present in semiconductors like silicon; where they are tied to implanted dopant atoms. By choosing appropriate dopant materials that do not ionise easily, the effects of temperature can be minimised. In the ground state, i.e. the lowest energy state, there is negligible coupling between qubits which are physically separated by 7-10nm which allows for information to be stored. However, the material is engineered to provide excited states in which the qubits can couple, allowing for quantum mechanical entanglement and therefore manipulation of information. Quantum information processing involves the preparation, manipulation, storage and readout of the qubits using optical probes.

For qubits we need just two types of gate to perform all the functions analogous to those in microelectronics. ‘A-gates’, only manipulate a single qubit, perhaps a single electron spin, while ‘J-gates’ affect the mutual behaviours of two qubits. Two key concepts underpin the LCN approach.

First: spins are controlled by using laser pulses which allow for temporal and spatial (�, f) control. Several possible types of excited state which enable entanglement can be exploited to produce the two types of gate.

OPPORTUNITIESQIP raises many possibilities for the future of IT. Computers utilising QIP will be able to factorise numbers more efficiently, for example when decrypting data, and be able to search databases more efficiently. QIP may also provide a means for computers to better understand and model the myriad systems that themselves rely on quantum mechanical behaviour, for example complex biological or chemical systems and processes. Finally, QIP may provide a route to the efficient simulation of complex systems currently beyond the capability of present algorithms, for example those involving turbulence. Of course, QIP will also lead to many unpredicted concepts, just as the original solid-state laser was a solution without a problem.

The specific opportunity offered by LCN's approach to QIP is that it seeks to exploit rather than avoid defects in Silicon, the processing of which is well understood. There is therefore a higher probability of bringing a quantum computer to your desktop within a decade than with other approaches.

STM of atoms on a semiconductor surfaceSecond: storage of quantum information is separated from the control of quantum interactions. The system is engineered to have weak interactions in the ground state, stronger in the excited state.

A major advantage of the LCN approach is that it ‘relies’ on randomly distributed dopants, the fabrication process is therefore top-down and doesn’t require the manipulation of individual atoms.

Computation corresponds to a specific sequence of multi-wavelength laser pulses addressing the gates, in effect an ‘optical programme’ - the laser pulses energise the gates into a state that allows entanglement and hence computation. The state is ‘controlled’ by the presence of a ‘donor electron’ excited from another implanted dopant – a control atom – that affects the gate properties through a magnetic interaction. Information is transferred between ‘islands’ of gates by ‘flying qubits’. Readout is performed by using the lasers to identify the final transition states.

The difficulty with QIP lies in bringing together the range of optical, electronic, fabrication, characterisation and theoretical elements to form a working system. This is in addition to the various technical problems associated with QIP’s tendency to lose or degrade information due to de-coherence of the quantum mechanical storage and routing mechanisms. Another important issue revolves around the development of algorithms for programming the quantum computer. At the LCN a number of novel approaches have been adopted to deal with these issues. In particular, device experts and a systems group has been part of the project from its inception. This should provide LCN with a rapid route to a QIP prototype. However, independent of QIP, the ability to optically control electron spins will have application in the emerging area of spintronics.

Spacing between islands is ca. 1-2 µm, so they can be

addressed optically

Each island contains randomly distributed qubits

forming 10-20 gates

Paths for ‘flying qubits’

PROGRESS

LCN staff have recently laid part of the experimental groundwork for practical QIP by producing macroscopic measurements that identify entanglement; this work will be important in the design/optimisation stages. Encouragingly, some other aspects relevant to LCN’s approach have been demonstrated by other groups from around the world. At LCN a major effort is currently underway which has already produced detailed simulations of electron dynamics in a gate, spin dynamics during switching, and progress is being made in modelling the configuration process. LCN staff have also been addressing the algorithm and systems issues, including the issues around encoding a problem into a sequence of optical driving pulses (initially for simple algorithms and for optical routing, wavelength, path choice and readout) with the expectation to be able to simulate the operation of a complete device in the near term.

The LCN is also in the process of establishing a new eight storey, £20M ($36M) nanotechnology dedicated facility that will house state of the art nanoscale imaging, fabrication and characterisation technology. This facility, timed to come online during the actual prototyping portion of the project, will rapidly drive forward LCN’s QIP work.

Structured to form the bridge between the physical, bio-medical, engineering and environmental sciences, it brings together two of the world’s leading institutions in nanotechnology, namely University College London and Imperial College London, representing 200 nano-specific research staff and new state of the art modelling, imaging, fabrication, characterisation and systems infrastructure.

LCN experiments on decoherence - the limiting factor in QIP

Quantum computing (QC) and information processing (QIP)

involves the exploitation of the quantum mechanical properties

of matter on the nano-scale to yield computational devices that are

smaller, faster, allow for parallel processes and are far more energy

effi cient than those in existence today.

Various approaches are being attempted across the world; with the majority

limited to very low temperature operation, with poor scalability beyond

simple demonstration of principle and most requiring the co-development

of a range of enabling technology.

The London Centre for Nanotechnology (LCN) is pioneering a new

approach to this complex area that circumvents many of the current

limitations and potentially opens the door to a scaleable, high temperature

solution that can be mass produced using modern fabrication techniques.
