Quantum Ecosystem of Switzerland
摘要
Switzerland was an early pioneer in quantum research with the establishment of national research centers, resulting in the attraction of talent and investment for quantum technology startups since at least the early 2000s. Several university centers and research centers in Zurich, Basel, Lausanne, and Geneva, and beyond form the backbone of a robust quantum technologies ecosystem. Most quantum technology companies and startups active in Switzerland draw their IP from university labs. Furthermore, ecosystem builders in the commercial and governance space are emerging, especially in Basel and Geneva, to ensure widespread access to quantum computing and diverse applications for the technology. The maturity of the quantum ecosystem in Switzerland has relied largely on a bottom-up approach, but the newly formed Swiss Quantum Initiative is aiming to bring a level of coordination to the diverse ecosystem.
