On 23 June, the UK government announced a £670 million investment package to support the development of quantum computing over the next decade. As part of its broader Industrial Strategy, the funding includes a 10-year settlement for the National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC), providing long-term financial stability for one of the UK’s core national facilities. The initiative is intended to accelerate the real-world impact of quantum technologies and strengthen domestic capabilities.  This sustained funding marks a shift in how the UK approaches quantum development and adoption. Instead of focusing on short-term projects, the government is now offering the sector the time and certainty needed to make meaningful progress and to build the necessary infrastructure which will facilitate and accelerate the commersialisation of quantum technologies. It supports not only research but also the translation of science into practical applications through advancing the development of the quantum hardware, which is a needed step in building a functioning quantum industry.   By 2035, the UK aims to build quantum computers that can surpass the capabilities of today’s most powerful supercomputers. The goal is to apply this technology to areas such as drug development, climate mitigation, and national defence, where traditional computing methods fall short. The announcement comes amidst a dynamic and intense global geopolitical context and competition over emerging technologies. It also reflects UK’s strategic focus on securing technological sovereignty through the development of advanced quantum capabilities.   Read the Industrial Strategy Policy Paper here: UK Industrial_Strategy_Policy_Paper Connect with the QBN Team:  QBN › Contact   Media contact:   Mila Korunovska   Marketing & Event Manager   +49 176 8499 6747   m.korunovska@qbn.world   www.qbn.world      

Digital infrastructures from supercomputing centres to distributed sensors in smart factories as well as and data are a backbone of our modern society. The threat to many cryptographic algorithms from quantum computers affects stored and transmitted data as well as the operation of systems that is currently not quantum-safe. Attacks on authentications and such as “harvest/store now, decrypt later” threaten current and future cybersecurity.  A timely, comprehensive and coordinated transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is mandatory to ensure cybersecurity and consequently national and economic security.  The European Commission published a roadmap aiming at the EU member states with a set of recommendations for a coordinated and synchronised transition to PQC. The roadmap takes into account the current assessment of the status of quantum computer development by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) and the recent joint statement by partners from 21 European states on Post-Quantum Cryptography.  Key recommendations and timeline:  Stay informed of the quantum threat to cryptography.  Exchange knowledge and experience at national, European and international level.  Make the quantum threat part of the risk management of all relevant entities  Establish mature cryptographic asset management to facilitate the transition to PQC  Initiate a national PQC transition strategy by the end of 2026  High-risk use cases should be transitioned to PQC asap, no later than the end of 2030  Transition should be completed by 2035.    The QBN experts advises industry and authorities with critical infrastructure and sensitive data, from finance and energy, automotive and manufacturing to logistics, defence and space, to take the recommendations seriously. Experience shows that the transition, especially the integration, takes time. So, do not wait, start today!  QBN supports end-user enterprises and governments along the steps recommended by the European Commission. QBN’s Global Industry Network membership helps to navigate and leverage the threat and potentials of quantum technologies. Clients of QBN’s consulting services benefit from a fast and holistic track to quantum readiness.  Pooled expertise, deep tech and market insights and a global network enable us to develop together with our members and clients a comprehensive and robust quantum strategy, accompany its implementation including the development of proof of concepts.    Download the roadmap: Roadmap_on_postquantum_cryptography QBN supports support the development and implementation of your quantum strategy.
