Abstract:
Quantum computing presents new market opportunities, but also significant challenges,
particularly in areas such as cybersecurity. Although still in its infancy, quantum computing is
maturing rapidly. If quantum computers can provide countries with new offensive capabilities
- often in combination with artificial intelligence - it is arguably investment in the quantum
communications agenda - in particular quantum networks - that can provide measures and
actions to improve cyber defence.

Abstract:
In this study on the transformative potential of quantum technology in reshaping economies, we present results and evidence drawing on a unique and innovative quantum dataset compiled by ECIPE. This data offers new insights into the current state of quantum advancements. This comprehensive database sheds light on the roles of various actors – governments, industry, and academia – showcasing their contributions to the development of quantum technologies. By grounding the analysis in real data, we provide a clearer understanding of the dynamics at play, enabling stakeholders to assess the sustainability of quantum technology progress and foster an ecosystem that supports both public and private sector involvement.
