Our new global trend benchmark provides an overview of “who is doing what” in quantum technology. For each of 16 jurisdictions around the world the benchmark reports on:

• Latest strategies, plans, roadmaps, and related objectives announced by the government on quantum technology.
• Government entities involved in coordinating and implementing the quantum strategy, plan, or roadmap.
• Objectives, programmes and landmark achievements in each of the three key quantum technology domains (quantum communications, quantum computing and quantum sensing).
• Budgets allocated to quantum technology research and development (R&D).
• Latest developments and upcoming initiatives in quantum technology.

Key takeaways
 

• 13 out of 16 jurisdictions covered in this benchmark already issued a comprehensive strategy or policy covering quantum technology.
• Japan and the US spend over half of the approximately US$4bn per annum currently allocated to quantum R&D in the jurisdictions covered in this benchmark that disclose this information.
• Most of the investment in quantum-related research is in the quantum computing domain.

The 16 jurisdictions covered in this benchmark are: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, the European Union (EU), France, Germany, India, Japan, Korea, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States (US).

Furthermore, it is complemented by a background section, which:

• explains what quantum technology is;
• briefly discusses challenges and opportunities related with future uses of quantum technologies; and
• provides references to third-party estimates on the value of the quantum technology market.
