New report: The International State of Quantum Information Technologies Research

International research in quantum computers has developed rapidly over the last decade, with many countries investing heavily to support the development of quantum technologies. We're delighted to be releasing a new report that presents a snapshot of activities across Europe, focusing on governmental and large-scale groupings and activities.

The report shows the scale of activity, and the growing involvement and maturity of the industrial sector. Research Hubs are a common feature of many of the programmes across Europe, showing the continued relevance of rigorous academic research to the mission of developing Quantum Technologies for real-world applications. There are also emerging procurement based programmes, with National Centres acting as customers for first machines, and of course a growing number of efforts that use the commercially available services available through the cloud. Within all these activities there is a high degree of connectivity between nations, with a large number of jointly authored papers, MOUs between states, and trans-national projects.  

This report is the first in a series of two – North America and Asia will be covered in detail in the next publication. The raw data behind the figures displayed in this report are available upon request.
