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…

Quantum Ethics: Why We Must Plan for a Responsible Quantum Future
New technologies bring not only breakthroughs but also new risks and dilemmas - and quantum computing is no exception. Quantum computers promise to solve problems beyond the reach of classical machines, from cracking complex optimization puzzles to simulating new drugs and materials. Yet experts warn that quantum’s “known unknowns” include serious ethical challenges arising from potential abuse, misuse, or unintended consequences. In other words, along…
