The European Commission on Wednesday adopted its first Quantum strategy, laying out a plan to turn the EU into a global leader in quantum technologies and avoid falling behind in a race dominated by the US and China.
"Quantum might sound like science fiction to some, but it is already a reality," said Executive Vice-President Henna Virkkunen at the launch of the initiative. "These technologies will change our economy, our security, and how we solve complex problems."
