Why Bristol?
Advancing AI discovery
University of Bristol is to host the UK’s most powerful supercomputer, spearheading AI innovation and scientific discovery. Part of a £300m initiative to create a national Artificial Intelligence Research Resource it will make the UK a world leader in the sector. Isambard-AI will be housed at the National Composites Centre and will be operational by summer 2024.
Accelerating adoption of quantum
In 2008, researchers at the University of Bristol's Quantum Engineering Technology Laboratories achieved a breakthrough, delivering the world's first integrated photonic quantum logic gate on a chip. This removed a reliance on bulky apparatus and tabletop interferometers, giving rise to over 100 publications and paving the way for a vibrant ecosystem of quantum technology start-ups.
