AUKUS: Quantum Technology
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what progress he has made on developing the quantum technologies stream of AUKUS Pillar 2.
Answered by Luke Pollard
AUKUS partners are using quantum to develop alternate solutions for position, navigation, and timing (including by participating in trials of quantum clocks in June 2025). These capabilities create resilience for our trilateral forces in Global-Positioning System-degraded environments and enhance stealth in the undersea domain, which will also support SSN-AUKUS under Pillar I.
