Towards a Norwegian Quantum Computing Strategy

Norway’s first, comprehensive, open workshop dedicated to QC strategies was held in Oslo and online on November 7th - 8th, 2022. This workshop featured presentations on strategic quantum initiatives from several European countries.

June 8th, 2023

The QCNorway position paper, Contributions Towards a Norwegian Quantum Computing Strategy, was launched today at the IQT Nordics event in Copenhagen, Denmark. The paper is now available for download.

July 25th, 2023

The Norwegian translation of the position paper, Bidrag til ein norsk strategi for kvanterekning, is now published and available for download.

The need for a Norwegian QC strategy

The international footprint of Quantum Computing (QC) is growing, with new & planned infrastructures around the globe. Meanwhile, leaders in education, research and industry are paving the way for greater access to QC.

QC holds enormous potential for accelerating important parts of computationally demanding workflows. At the same time, this unprecedented computational power brings with it tough challenges, in particular concerning security and privacy.

Yet, despite its vast potential, the national strategies and policies addressing QC, and quantum science and technology at large, vary substantially from one country to another.

How are leaders in quantum strategising for both the game-changing potential and known challenges?

To learn from those at the forefront, we've gathered an international group of speakers with strategic experience in QC and the underlying science and technology for a workshop. Presentations and discussions will address both the high potential of QC and the challenges that this technology brings along. We believe open sharing of current findings and approaches will be a strong foundation for the Norwegian QC strategy needed now.
