Challenge excepted. Though probably should expand on the naming it just “quantum”. Mark Carney been using that term, and it makes me twitch a bit each time.

That would require fixing some fundamental problems like funding (fragmented capital markets) and talent retention.

Great. So, we slept through every major technical advancement, refuse to emancipate us from US based big tech or Chinese production surplus, and now we are chasing a hyped-up pipe dream that has [almost no practical applications](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_algorithm), even if it did actually work at scale, to which we are still not any closer after decades of research, the only *actual* purpose of which is to serve as the next investment-money attracting tech-hype when “AI” goes T*TSUP, based on promises of a breakthrough “soon”, that’s less likely to become true than fusion power.
Listen you put the EU in a box with a flask of poison …
In a state of superposition, the EU is at the same time a leader and not leader.

I can’t imagine they will be, well not on a percentage of population.
If you want to be in Quantum in Europe, you head to the UK.

Yeah, like in AI, right?

After that horrible deal that von der leyen did with Trump, I highly doubt it

EU leader in anything? Lol
We’re doomed.

The thing with state delegated plans to be “leading” anything is that it’s just not working.
Who knows if quantum computers are actually useful? This should be done at firm level. Make a bunch of different firms, let them compete, let them go bankrupt if needed, prop up the survivors.
Ever wondered why Germany is so far behind in technology? Helmut Kohl thought computers are a waste and will never lead to anything, he thought TV’s are what is the future. No kidding. State mandated financing and effort went to “TV’s”.

The EU has the scientists and the money to do it, the only question is whether it has the will. Looking at the recent abject capitulating at Trump’s feet, doesn’t look like it. We’re doomed to be hostage to the US in yet another strategic technology.

Let me get this straight. We’re not focusing on the AI race, we’re not focusing on the nuclear fusion race, our main focus is… quantum computing.
This is like Arsenal declaring at the start of the season their main goal is to win the Carabao cup.

Does the EU know that they can’t achieve it by regulation?

EU at its best.
Litte video to understand how absurd chasing quantum computing actually is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDj1QhPOVBo

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOP500#:~:text=As%20of%20June%202025%2C%20the%20number%20one%20supercomputer%20is%20El,AMD%20CPUs%20and%20AMD%20accelerators.
So to give a source on why it’s not so far fetched (the top 10 has for EU computers).
While it also has 127 supercomputers.
