The second quantum revolution is under way. It is based on our increasingly advanced control of quantum systems such as individual atoms and photons. Applications in sight comprise quantum computers that beat any classical computer when applied to many hard computational problems, intercept-proof communications, and hyper-sensitive measurement methods, e.g. for imaging of materials, chemical processes, and living tissue.
We are now launching a 10-year, €100m research programme in Sweden – the Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology (WACQT) – aiming to advance the forefront of quantum technology. WACQT involves several academic and industry partners that are now seeking the most talented individuals to help develop quantum technology.
The programme spans the four pillars of quantum technology – quantum communication, quantum sensing, quantum computing, and quantum simulation.
WACQT consists of two parts:
- One excellence program in quantum technology, distributed over Swedish universities
- One project focused on building a 100-qubit superconducting quantum computer, based at Chalmers University of Technology
