Quantum Technologies and Quantum Computing in Switzerland

Switzerland’s quantum technology ecosystem exemplifies how a combination of academic excellence, proactive government support, and innovative entrepreneurship can make a country a major player in the second quantum revolution. In the span of two decades, Switzerland has built a world-class quantum R&D environment – featuring top universities (ETH, EPFL, Geneva, Basel) driving advances in computing and cryptography, national programs knitting these efforts together, and companies turning theory into practice. The country’s early bets on quantum science (e.g. funding NCCRs, supporting a QKD startup) are paying off in the form of global leadership in areas like quantum cryptography and instrumentation. As the quantum field moves from research to real-world implementation, Switzerland is well-positioned to benefit. Its strong talent pool continues to ...
