Welcome to the UCL Quantum Society - a platform to inspire curiosity, attract talent, and connect students with the evolving world of quantum technology and science.
We collaborate with startups, research institutes, government entities and industry leaders to organise events in our mission to bridge academia, technology and business. Whether you're a PhD-level physicist or have never heard of a quantum computer, we're driven to provide a learning platform for everyone, cultivating a community of shared interests and unique perspectives.
The current market size of quantum technology (including quantum computing, quantum sensing, quantum communication) is approximately $5 billion. According to McKinsey, by 2040, this market is projected to reach $198 billion. By 2035, quantum computing alone could contribute up to $2 trillion to the global economy by transforming fundamental industries including life sciences, chemicals, finance, and mobility.
As the world embraces the quantum revolution, the demand for skilled professionals to drive the growth and innovation of quantum technology is rapidly increasing, with $2 billion invested in quantum start-ups in 2024 alone—a nearly 50% increase from 2023—signalling unprecedented confidence in the sector's commercial transition.
Join us as we explore the endless possibilities of quantum innovation and its potential to revolutionise industries from computing to art.
