Thematic(s) :

The quantum ecosystem is advancing steadily, bolstered by collaborative research projects, patent accumulation, startup formation, and the entry of semiconductor vendors and equipment manufacturers into the fray. However, partnerships remain crucial as only a select few can simultaneously pursue diverse R&D approaches for qubits.

Investment in quantum technologies, both public and private, has reached significant levels, totaling US$30 billion publicly and an estimated US$4 billion privately thus far. Europe and the USA lead in quantum science investments, with the European Union being the largest public investor in quantum research. The USA benefits from substantial industry investments from tech giants like IBM, Google, Microsoft, and Intel, alongside a robust startup funding ecosystem, leveraging its domestic market size and dynamism. The majority of these funds, approximately 75%, are directed toward quantum computing hardware, given the substantial capital requirements for its advancement. The remainder primarily supports systems and applications software. Additionally, companies are transitioning from private financing to avenues like IPOs , mergers and acquisitions, and spin-off ventures. However, IPOs face challenges due to the absence of short-term revenue expectations in the quantum technology sector.

Looking ahead, the success of quantum computers hinges on addressing SWaP-C concerns. Despite the long-term nature of quantum technologies, investment opportunities are ripe today, particularly considering that technologies developed for quantum computing, such as photonics, cryogenics, RF , AP , and control electronics also hold promise in non-quantum computing applications.
