For quantum teams

Find the infrastructure your quantum technology actually needs.

Tell us what you are trying to build, test or validate. You do not need to know which facility or equipment you need.

Start with the technical outcome, not the equipment

  • “Characterise a superconducting device below 20 mK.”
  • “Fabricate a photonic structure with sub-micron features.”
  • “Independently test a quantum sensor before a field trial.”

What you get

A qualified shortlist you can act on — and the reasons behind it.

Qapacity is built for technical leads, programme managers and procurement working on the same requirement.

  • A structured requirement

    Objective, device, materials, processes, measurements, operating conditions, location, deadline and required outputs — suggested from your description, then confirmed by you.
  • Explained potential matches

    Each facility is assessed against each criterion. You see mandatory and preferred criteria separately, with sources.
  • Unknowns you can resolve

    Where information is missing, request technical confirmation from the provider instead of guessing.
  • Side-by-side comparison

    Compare 2–5 facilities on capability fit, operating conditions, restrictions, lead time and verification state — without false numeric scores.
  • Structured access

    Access requests, clarifications and quotes in one record, so nothing is lost across email threads.
  • Pathways and dependencies

    Plan multi-stage work and see which stages are blocked or exposed to long lead times.

Honest matching

Every criterion has an explicit state.

Qapacity does not reduce suitability to a single percentage. A technical match is not a guarantee, and a recommendation is not engineering approval.

  • Confirmed match
  • Likely match — confirmation required
  • Unknown
  • Confirmed mismatch
  • Not applicable

Confidentiality

Your requirements stay private by default.

Technical requirements can contain commercially sensitive information. Before anything is sent to a provider, you review exactly what will be shared.

Requirement visibility levels
VisibilityWhat it means
Organisation privateThe default for every requirement. Only members of your organisation can see it.
Selected providerShared with a provider you choose, when you send a technical confirmation or access request.
Selected collaboratorsShared with named collaborators outside your organisation.
PublicOnly if you explicitly choose to publish it.

Getting started

Choose where to begin.

  • Find infrastructure for a specific requirement

    Describe what you need to build, test or validate.
  • Explore available capabilities

    Browse UK facilities by capability, process and equipment.
  • Manage an existing project

    Organise requirements, access requests and milestones.
  • Track infrastructure dependencies

    Map multi-stage pathways and lead-time exposure.

Built for teams working in: Quantum computing · Quantum sensing · PNT / timing · Quantum communications · Photonics · Quantum materials · Components · Enabling technology.

Information provided through Qapacity is intended to support infrastructure discovery and access planning. Facility capabilities, availability and suitability can change and may depend on details not represented on the platform. Users should obtain appropriate confirmation from the relevant provider before relying on a facility for a specific technical requirement.
