#35 The Quantum Enabler: Professor Sir Peter Knight
As Quantum computing becomes a 21st century
reality, Professor Sir Peter Knight explains why controlling the register of
quantum bits that make up a quantum processor is so difficult, and explains how
the journey to quantum computing is creating new technologies that no one could
ever have predicted…….
Peter’s life in quantum physics began in the 1970s at the
University of Sussex and in this episode he takes Engineering Matters on a
journey through quantum discoveries; from understanding quantum optics and
entanglement to atomic clocks, quantum cryptography and the quantum
underground. Today he leads the UK’s pioneering £1bn National Quantum Technologies
Programme from the tranquil grandeur of Chicheley Hall in Buckinghamshire.

The IET inspires, informs and influences the global
engineering community to engineer a better world. As a diverse home across
engineering and technology, the IET shares knowledge that helps make better
sense of the world in order to solve the challenges that matter. The IET
works to build the profile of engineering and technology to change outdated
perceptions and tackle the skills gap.
