Q-day The day when quantum computers will successfully break the internet may still be a long way off. But that doesn’t mean that companies and governments shouldn’t jump on the bandwagon now to avoid being left behind in a technology race that could potentially change the way we think about life, the universe, and the good things. so that EU, of the world quantum valley very willing to be.
What is the EU’s quantum valley plan?
Promoted by a discourse increasingly revolving around the concept of “digital sovereignty” 11 EU member countries, this week European Declaration on Quantum Technologies signed. The signatories agreed to align, coordinate, interact, support, monitor and all other acts of international cooperation in various parts of the emerging quantum technology ecosystem.
These countries include France, Belgium, Croatia, Greece, Finland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Malta, Estonia and Spain. However, the coalition reportedly gave up the election due to the short period of time. Netherlands, Ireland and Germany Some quantum precursors such as are still missing.
The ultimate goal is reportedly to create a globally competitive quantum ecosystem. The statement begins: “Quantum computing, simulation, communications, sensing and metrology are emerging fields of global strategic importance that will create a paradigm shift in technological capabilities.”
Domestic and national quantum computers will be developed!
A brand new quantum computer project is starting in cooperation with the USA, TOBB ETÜ and ASELSAN. Here is the quantum computer project and its details…
The declaration emphasizes the importance of establishing domestic R&D capacities for quantum technologies and producing devices and systems based on them. It also emphasizes the need to invest in the entire quantum stack, from hardware to software, applications and standards, to protect “strategic assets, interests, autonomy and security”.
Thierry Breton, whose tenure as Internal Market Commissioner was marked by a major technology regulatory battle, said that in an environment where quantum engineering talent is so difficult to acquire, this could indeed be the key to preventing Europe from being left behind in another major technology race. Will the EU become a quantum valley?
