TQI QuickBits: National Plans, Data Expands, Quantum Sensing Demands... And More News in Quantum
The Quantum Insider
Making Quantum Technology accessible through media, news, insights and data
Quantum is taking over the world. Well, at least quantum planning is.
Two countries -- who happen to have deep tech roots and a growing quantum ecosystem -- announced their national quantum strategies this week: Germany and Australia.
Germany is putting 3 billion euros behind their effort to build a quantum computer in a few years. Australia is working on an action plan that unites government, academia and business.
Both countries are relying on the pioneering research prowess of their research communities and its citizens' historic entrepreneurial spirit.
Not exactly a national quantum initiative, but worth mentioning The White House released the United States Government’s National Standards Strategy for Critical and Emerging Technology (CET) this week, too.
A couple ways to look at this week's news: 1) This is a case of follow-the-leader or 2) Quantum is close and nations have to be serious about how they handle this new power.
Obviously, like any good quantum superposition, it might be anywhere between these two extremes.

Quantum Quotes
Australia and Germany announced their quantum intentions this week. Let's take a look at how they phrase their collective quantum missions.
“With the action plan, we in Germany want to secure a place at the top of the world in quantum technologies and our technological sovereignty,” -- Federal Research Minister Bettina Stark-Watzinger
From Australia, Ed Husic, Minister for Industry and Science, said that the goal is to make Australia a leader in tech.
“In time, quantum computing will unleash incredible computing power that can phenomenally outperform traditional computing. By pairing a National Quantum Strategy with the National Reconstruction Fund we’re aiming to turn Australia into a global technology leader, building stronger industry and creating jobs for the future.” -- Ed Husic, Minister for Industry and Science
Quantum Research
A team of researchers from Department of Theoretical Physics at the University of Innsbruck and the quantum spin-off ParityQC have developed an inversion of algorithms with the help of quantum computers.

The Australian Government released the country’s first National Quantum Strategy that sets a long-term vision for Australia to take advantage of the opportunities in quantum, according to a statement from the Department of Industry, Science and Resorces.
The White House released the United States Government’s National Standards Strategy for Critical and Emerging Technology (CET) aimed at strengthening American technology’s foundation and safeguard consumers while promoting U.S. leadership and competitiveness in international standards development.
planqc has been selected by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) to develop a digital neutral-atom-based quantum computing hardware and software platform that is scalable and can demonstrate quantum algorithms for real-world problems. The award is valued at 29 million EUR. planqc teams up with Menlo Systems and ParityQC who will provide critical components for the laser systems, software, and architecture. This is the first sale of a digital quantum computer based on neutral atoms in Europe.
Quantum technologies have presented a future of opportunities that leverages the behavior of light and atoms to improve areas such as computing, communication security, and sensing. Quantum sensors are highly sensitive to the environments around them and can detect things that would otherwise be impossible or require a tremendous amount of resources to collect data on.
By utilizing properties specific to quantum physics such as quantum tunnelling, entanglement, and superposition, quantum annealing (QA) (related to adiabatic quantum computation) is a method for solving problems involving a large number of possible solutions and variables.
