Quantum Technologies in Space

Understand

Recently, the European Commission supported by many European countries has announced large investments towards the commercialization of quantum technology (QT) to address and mitigate some of the biggest challenges facing today's digital era - e.g.

• secure communication and computing power.
• For more than two decades the QT community has been working on the development of QTs, which promise landmark breakthroughs leading to commercialization in various areas.
• The ambitious goals of the QT community and expectations of EU authorities cannot be met solely by individual initiatives of single countries, and therefore, require a combined European effort of large and unprecedented dimensions comparable only to the Galileo or Copernicus programs.
