Say quantum technologies and most people probably still imagine something decades into the future.
After years of incremental progress confined to research institutions, the emergingquantumtechnology sector has begun to gather commercial momentum.
AndEuropehas a major part to play.
Germany, the Netherlands, France, Switzerland, and Spain are the strongest ecosystems.
An additional 14% are in the UK and Ireland.

Indeed, there are already more than 25 quantum networks being deployed in Europe today.
Quantum networks can also form the backbone of a global quantum internet, connecting quantum computers in different locations.
One startup that knows a lot about QKD technology is Q*Bird.
Another technology garnering interest is post-quantum cryptography (PQC).
However, most classical cryptography methods will be vulnerable to hacking from a sufficiently powerful quantum computer sooner.
PQC algorithms are designed to be secure against both classical and quantum attacks.
