How the EU Can Capture the Benefits of Quantum Computing
The European Union has entered the global quantum race with determination - aiming not just to excel in research, but to translate breakthroughs into economic and strategic benefits. In July 2025, the European Commission unveiled the Quantum Europe Strategy, a roadmap to make Europe a “quantum industrial powerhouse” by 2030. This strategy acknowledges Europe’s historic strength in quantum science - from pioneers like Planck and…

Quantum Sovereign Optionality
Technical sovereignty has become a buzzword in geopolitical and tech circles. As global alliances fray and trust in traditional partners wanes, countries are scrambling to assert control over critical technologies. In the quantum arena, this instinct translates into an ambitious goal: build a complete, full-stack quantum ecosystem entirely within national borders. The allure is understandable – quantum computers, sensors, and communications could be as transformational…

Quantum Technology Initiatives in Singapore and ASEAN
ASEAN’s journey in quantum technology is relatively recent but steadily gaining momentum. Singapore took the lead in the early 2000s – the National Research Foundation began funding quantum research as early as 2002, and by 2007 the government helped establish the Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) at the National University of Singapore. CQT was a milestone for the region, bringing together physicists, computer scientists, and…

Quantum Technologies and Quantum Computing in Russia
Russia’s engagement with quantum science dates back to the Soviet era, which produced a strong foundation of theoretical physics and early quantum experiments. This legacy endures in the modern era – Russian experts often note that the “Soviet school of quantum physics was one of the best in the world,” providing a deep talent pool for today’s initiatives. In the 2010s, Russia began explicitly organizing…
