Swedish Center for Quantum Technology

The Swedish Center for Quantum Technology is a national, distributed center for research, innovation, education and capacity building in quantum technology. The center will bring together and strengthen Sweden’s capabilities across the entire value chain, from world-leading research to innovation, commercialization and application. The vision is for the center to become one of Europe’s leading quantum technology centers by 2035 and help make Sweden "Quantum ready".

Quantum technology is developing rapidly and is expected to have a significant impact on areas including industry, communications, cybersecurity, healthcare and defence. The Swedish Center for Quantum Technology will bring together Sweden’s strengths in the field and establish a long-term national structure for research, education, infrastructure, innovation and collaboration.

About the centre

The center will be organised as a network of nodes, with participation from leading Swedish universities, research institutes, industry partners and startups.

It will build on the expertise, infrastructure and national coordination already established through initiatives such as the Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology (WACQT). This includes strong research environments in all areas of quantum including quantum computing, quantum materials, microwave technology, cryogenics, nanofabrication and system integration, quantum communication, photonics, software, quantum sensing, semiconductors, quantum materials and theory.

In the longer term, the ambition is for the Swedish Center for Quantum Technology to develop into one of Europe’s important centers for quantum technology and help ensure that Sweden has the expertise, infrastructure, international connections and strategic capabilities needed as quantum technology becomes increasingly important to society.
