Notice Title
UKRI-3372 NQCC Strontium Quadrupole Cavities
Notice Description
The National Quantum Computing Centre seeks to enhance the UK's global leadership in quantum computing, to help translate UK research strengths into innovation, and enable the creation of the first generation of quantum computers, helping to build a resilient future economy. The NQCC seeks for two lots of 674 nm cavities for strontium ions. Each lot must include a cavity, vacuum housing, temperature control, and be shipped pre-aligned with fibre-coupling assemblies apart by 100 mm to 300 mm
Lot Information
Lot 1
The NQCC's initial focus has been on two platforms of quantum computing, one based on superconductors and one based on trapped ions. This were chosen based on technological maturity and UK strength. The NQCC continues to investigate other potential hardware modalities in detail. The centre will be headquartered in a purpose-built facility at the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC)'s Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Campus in Oxfordshire. The centre is due for completion in 2023. Ahead of the completion of the centre, a temporary lab facilities in existing STFC building have been used to fast track development. The required wavelength measurement systems will be used in both these temporary laboratories and in the NQCC lab spaces. This procurement is for two lots of 674 nm cavities for strontium ions. Each lot must include a cavity, vacuum housing, temperature control, and be shipped pre-aligned with fibre-coupling assemblies, further detailed requirements are listed within the Specification. Additional information: The term and conditions relating to this purchase are provided in the Contract, which matches the Contract number cited in the narrative to this Purchase Order and are specific to this Contract. Where the Contract number is not so cited, then our standard terms and conditions will apply which are available at :-https://www.uksbs.co.uk/services/procure/Documents/UKRIPOTCs.pd
