In one of the biggest spending plans of its kind in the world, the government commits to develop country’s first quantum computer

Money is set to flow for space research, new communication technologies, quantum computing and green manufacturing

As part of national programme, D-Wave Systems will invest almost €335M in R&D to broaden SMEs’ access to its quantum cloud

Researchers stunned as draft Horizon Europe work programme shuts out close research partners. ‘This is not in Europe’s interest’ says leading quantum physicist

Emmanuel Macron lays out a €1.8B strategy to slingshot the country into becoming a quantum powerhouse, as Germany draws up a €2B programme of quantum research as part of its pandemic recovery plan

€2B from the country’s pandemic recovery fund is to be spent on quantum technology as Germany leads a European push to move the field from research to the mainstream

‘Hope is strengthened’, says physicist Tommaso Calarco, one of the driving forces behind the EU’s €1B Quantum flagship. Start-ups are beginning ‘to sprout like mushrooms’

The EU’s €1B ten-year Quantum Technologies Flagship finally got off the ground with the award of €132M spread across 20 projects. But is it too little, too late?

It’s early days for full-scale quantum computers, but researchers claim there is an ‘immediate danger’ of Europe falling behind. ‘The heat is on - we have to react,’ says Jürgen Mlynek, chair of the project’s steering committee
