A new study, led by our Deputy Director Umesh Vivekananda and published in Clinical Neurophysiology, has offered an insight into how using optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs) for brain imaging could enhance diagnostic capabilities in epilepsy.

UCL PhD student Ali Shokat gives his summary and reflections on the three-day Q-BIOMED AI and ML workshop for quantum sensing.

Leaders from across the quantum, healthcare, and innovation communities came together last night to explore how emerging quantum sensing technologies could transform clinical practice, the challenges ahead, and the collaborations needed to accelerate progress.

Today, the UK Government announced a major new funding injection to establish the UK as a world leader in quantum technologies, including an additional investment dedicated to the National Quantum Technologies Programme Hubs.

The Quantum Healthcare Summit brought together over 110 clinicians, regulators, innovators and funders to explore how quantum technologies could transform the early diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Last week, we hosted Q-BIOMED Connect, our first in-person Hub meeting since launch, bringing together researchers, clinicians, and other stakeholders to strengthen collaborations, share progress, and tackle challenges in quantum sensing for healthcare.

Q-BIOMED joined more than 100 exhibitors and over 2,500 in-person delegates at the 2025 UK National Quantum Technologies Showcase.

In research published in Nature Communications earlier this month, some of our scientists have demonstrated that their spin-enhanced nanodiamond rapid test can detect COVID-19 earlier and more accurately than conventional lateral flow tests.  

On 29 August, Q-BIOMED welcomed stakeholders from DSIT, DHSC, NHSE, and NICE to UCL.

Researchers at the University of Warwick have built a new diamond-based magnetic field sensor that could be used to help find tumours by tracing magnetic fluid injected into the body.

Alongside quantum researchers from across the UK, Q-BIOMED members showcased their work in the ‘Quantum Zone’ at the 2025 Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition
