The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and the Institute of Physics (IOP) are hosting the NPL IOP Joint Symposium on Quantum Technologies at NPL’s facilities in Teddington, London adjacent to the beautiful Bushy Park on Tuesday 14 October and Wednesday 15 October 2025.

This two-day symposium will bring together international researchers, scientists and engineers from the emerging quantum industries. Confirmed speakers include:

  • Richard Murray (CEO ORCA Computing)
  • Catherine White (BT)
  • Robert Hadfield (University of Glasgow)
  • Taofiq Paraiso (Toshiba)
  • Mirko Pittaluga (Wave Photonics)
  • Bernard Lee (Senko)
  • Miles Padgett (University of Glasgow)
  • Callum Littlejohns (CORNERSTONE)
  • Phil Dolan (Nu Quantum) 
  • John Devaney (NPL)

…and more to be announced.

Building on the success of our 2022 event, this year’s symposium will again feature a diverse collection of speakers from across the quantum industry and academia. It will provide a broad introduction to and present the latest advances across all pillars of quantum technologies including:

  • Quantum Communication and Computation
  • Quantum Integrated Circuits and Interconnect
  • Quantum Imaging and Packaging
  • Quantum Metrology and Standards

This symposium is organised by NPL and the Institute of Physics as part of the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) EQUINOX project. It also represents a collaboration between different international standards bodies including International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the British Standards Institution (BSI), the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC), and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
