Go directly to the report

We are in the midst of a technological revolution – the second quantum revolution – that could bring us quantum computers, wiretapping-proof communications and ultra-sensitive measuring instruments. In many countries around the world, quantum technology is seen as a key technology for future security, computing power and sensors, which will affect large parts of society.

Sweden has strong research in quantum technology and shows clear areas of strength, not least linked to the competence that exists in quantum computers. Sweden can develop an innovation ecosystem that includes a wide range of actors to take advantage of its strengths in quantum technology, secure competence in quantum technology, through high-quality basic and postgraduate education as well as education and competence development in both industry and society.

The possibilities of quantum technology can potentially have significant consequences for the economy and society, which is why Sweden must take an active role in the rapid international development.

This report identifies and argues for national coordination and investments to maximize the benefit of this emerging technology area, through nine areas that are necessary to develop in order to strengthen Sweden's position in quantum technology. This agenda has been developed in a joint effort of a wide network of experts and stakeholders in quantum technology.

Report in English will be published on 29 March.
