Connecting Switzerland and the world in
quantum science and technology
The quantum revolution is reaching a tipping point. Corporates and startups, supported by scientific discoveries, are closing in on the first quantum computer that can usefully outperform a classical machine. Advances in quantum cryptography and networking are securing our information from future threats, while quantum sensors are delivering unprecedented levels of precision and miniaturization. On the verge of new breakthroughs, governments are investing large sums in quantum research and innovation, as well as talent and workforce development. As many countries are adopting national strategies for competitive advantage, international collaborations remain the lifeblood of scientific advancement and technology commercialization.
Project Quantum is Swissnex’s initiative to connect Switzerland and the world in quantum science and technology. Through a series of activities undertaken across the global Swissnex network, it aims to help accelerate scientific breakthroughs and shape the quantum economy. The initiative focuses on three core pillars:
The Swissnex Quantum Summit in Switzerland
Bilateral cooperation with selected countries
Global visibility for Swiss quantum efforts
Swiss and UK scientists will meet in London to accelerate international collaboration on quantum materials research.
To foster collaboration between Switzerland and the Asia-Pacific region, Swissnex produced an overview of the state of quantum computing and related technologies across six countries.
To mark the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between South Korea and Switzerland, experts from the two countries are meeting in May 2023 to discuss how to prepare for the next quantum revolution.
As part of the Quantum.Tech 2023 conference in Boston, Swissnex hosted a reception to connect Swiss quantum innovators with their colleagues from across the world.
A Swiss-Canadian discussion at the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy explored the economic promise of quantum science and innovation and potential for bilateral cooperation.
Join Swissnex for this World Quantum Day event as we explore how to improve gender diversity in quantum technology and related STEM fields.
Brendan Karch will discuss models for international collaboration in quantum research at the conference in Washington, DC.
Taking place this March at uptownBasel, the conference will feature leading researchers from Switzerland and the US for a two-day deep dive into quantum technology.
Brendan Karch, Head of Academic Engagement at Swissnex in Boston and New York, will represent Switzerland at the session on National Quantum Programs on November 30.
A new conference bringing together key players from Switzerland and the United States in quantum information science and technology.
Launched by Swissnex, the Swiss-US Quantum Days conference is part of a broader bilateral effort to deepen the entanglement of the two leading ecosystems in quantum information science and technology.
Taking place in Switzerland on October 14, 2023, the conference will bring together key ecosystem builders from several countries to discuss how to jointly accelerate breakthroughs and shape the quantum economy, from education and research to startups and large companies.
SummitSwitzerland maintains a world-class quantum ecosystem bolstered by its top-flight universities and research centers, its leading innovation economy, and its deep international connections.
Thanks to its world-class universities, Swiss quantum researchers are at the top of their fields, boasting the highest impact factor for quantum research publications of any country in the world.
Over 20 years ago, Switzerland created some of the world's first quantum startups, and continues its innovation journey with new ones in quantum sensing, networking, and enabling technologies.
From computing to sensing, networking to theory, algorithms to software, Switzerland boasts a broad base of excellence in all major areas of quantum information technology.
Almost 90% of Swiss quantum publications feature international collaborators – among the highest rates in the world. Global engagement is built into the ecosystem from the ground up.
