National Timing Centre
The United Kingdom National Timing Centre is the proposed network of atomic clocks consisting of a central building, and a series of other locations across the UK. The cost of the new system will cost £36 million, but additionally the UK government has given £6.7 million through Innovate UK Funding and £40 million toward a new research program Quantum Technologies for fundamental physics to support UK research and investment.
