Twenty one EU Member States have now joined the European efforts to make Europe the “quantum valley” of the world by signing the #Europeandeclaration on #quantumtechnologies during a conference organised yesterday (the 22nd March) by the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the EU. Through the declaration, first launched in December, the EU Member States that have signed so far recognise the importance of quantum technologies for the scientific and industrial competitiveness of the EU. Member States commit to collaborating on the development of a world-class quantum technology ecosystem across Europe, a key part of the European Commission’s plan for the Digital Decade. for more information: https://lnkd.in/dWe9Fj-U

As part of the Autumn Statement today, the government has outlined five ambitious quantum missions, building on the £2.5bn National Strategy announced earlier this year. We are pleased to see the government's continuing commitment to support the full range of quantum technologies - encompassing quantum sensing, navigation systems, computing and communications which exactly aligns with our current portfolio. We hope this is part of a continued initiative by the government to encourage public and private investment in this sector in order to make quantum a universally accessible and economically and socially beneficial technology. These quantum missions serve as a clear indication that we must persist in advocating for quantum to take centre stage in both government and industry discussions. https://lnkd.in/eUPqKSQQ #AutumnStatement #Quantum #Investment

📰 News: 📰 ---- $41 Million Quantum Tech Hub Awarded! 💡 The Biden Administration has made a groundbreaking investment by awarding $41 million to the Elevate Quantum Tech Hub in Colorado and New Mexico. This grant aims to establish the region as a leader in quantum information technology, underscoring its importance in the current global landscape. Exploring quantum solutions is not just for large enterprises; small and medium-sized businesses -SMBs- can gain a competitive edge through increased efficiency and innovation. - --$41 million--: Amount awarded to the Elevate Quantum Tech Hub to spearhead quantum advancements. - --1st--: This initiative marks the first large-scale, place-based federal investment in quantum technology. - --$504 million--: Total funding awarded to 12 regional tech hubs, highlighting the broad scope of innovation supported by the government. Led by Elevate Quantum, the consortium aims to leverage local expertise from national laboratories and academic institutions to move quantum computing, sensing, and network products to market. This collaboration intends to position the Mountain West as the capital of quantum innovation, fortifying U.S. leadership in the industry. Now is the time for SMBs to explore quantum solutions to achieve higher efficiency and remain competitive. Your involvement in quantum projects today will be the differentiator in tomorrow’s market.

EU Member States commit to cooperating on world-class quantum technologies Twenty-one EU Member States have committed to collaborating on quantum technologies, signing the European declaration during a conference organized by the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the EU. Recognizing the significance of quantum technologies for EU's scientific and industrial competitiveness, signatory countries aim to develop a world-class quantum technology ecosystem across Europe. The conference, held within the framework of the quantum flagship initiative, facilitated discussions among industry, academia, and governments on deeper collaboration in quantum research and its role in the global tech race. The quantum flagship, launched in 2018 with a budget of at least €1 billion over 10 years, aims to achieve quantum computing by 2025 and has published a strategic research agenda to guide future developments in quantum technologies.

Nowadays Finland hosts the fastest supercomputer in Europe.

We are thrilled to announce a groundbreaking partnership with the UK’s National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) in Harwell, Oxfordshire. Read the full release at https://lnkd.in/gjQhHatz This collaboration marks the inception of the world’s most advanced quantum computing testbed, setting a new benchmark for innovation and technological prowess in the quantum industry. Why This Matters: - First of its Kind: The UK will host the first-ever qubit shuttling testbed, a major leap towards scalable, practical quantum computers. - Cutting-Edge Technology: QuEra's testbed will feature a dynamic processing architecture, introducing a quantum equivalent of the classical Von-Neumann architecture. This innovative approach will empower UK-based researchers and software developers, enhancing the UK’s position in the global quantum computing arena. - Boosting the Quantum Ecosystem: This project not only accelerates the development of quantum computing infrastructure but also fosters collaboration across the UK/EU quantum ecosystem, contributing significantly to the national quantum computing strategy. What’s Next: QuEra is set to commence work on this transformative project immediately and plans to operationalize the testbed by early 2025. Acknowledgements: A heartfelt congratulations to all involved, especially the visionary leadership at the NQCC and the support from the SBRI framework. This achievement is a testament to the collaborative spirit and the shared commitment to advancing quantum computing. The future of quantum computing is bright, with the UK at the forefront of this exciting journey. Let’s continue to push the boundaries of what's possible, together. #QuantumComputing #Innovation #UKTech #QuEraComputing #NQCC #QuantumRevolution
